I recently used the Acer K11 pocket projector in a theatre show and it was awesome. Nice throw, reliable, runs off an sd card or an input.. can't remember if it would loop forever off of SD or not - that's something to check out. Otherwise your source has to loop.
Also used the mpro120's, their inputs seemed more fragile, really a crappy custom job - not sure if I would trust it for 2 weeks unattended, unless it's really secured in place. But it looked nice and there's a battery. K11 is like 18 times brighter - 200 lumens, has no battery, only ac power. Mpro is battery, but you can plug it in... but it's only 12 lumens!!! I made Banquo's ghost appear with the mpro - had an ipod hooked up as a source device. Not very bright, though. Some of the audience couldn't really see it, not happy with the results. I suppose you could fill an sd card with hours and hours of video so there's no looping required. At 10" across you could afford to go low-res. -Flick -- * WHERE'S MY ARTICLE, WORLD? http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Flick_Harrison * FLICK's WEBSITE & BLOG: http://www.flickharrison.com On 2011-10-14, at 16:49 , Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez wrote: > hello frameworkers: > > I am about to present a touring installation piece that requires the use of > about 4-5 compact video projectors installed in different cafés, including my > first venue which is an outdoor café where we will be projecting the images > through the windows of the adjacent building.
