urgent...need to hook up live feed to 2 projectors wireless for monday night shoot pls help me figure it out Can't Post
I am offered to do a double projector set up for a memorial service.
they want to seat the crowed in 2 rooms that are a bit far from each other.
can you guys suggest an easy way to have the camera send a wireless signal to the projector?
if not what is the logest composit cable i can get to do this? what equipments do i need?
I also need to connect a DVD player to both projectors but i beleive taking the cable off from camera and hooking it up to the dvd player is the only way once i get it set up.

how much should i charge for this gig?
I will have to set up 2 projectors, a seperate sound for each plus the dvd player and shoot about 3-4 hours.

You'll need to go composite or S, You can run a composite cable a long way if you get a decent cable. You'll probably have to make one or two. Do you need sound? or just video. I don't know how you'll hook the camera up to the DVD player, most don't have inputs and if they do I'm not sure that they'd have an E-E output. You'll need a switcher of some sort for the best results.

I recently bought a couple of WEVI Video Wave units from IDX and they work very well. They transmit good quality video and audio for a couple hundred feet in the open less through walls. Good enough to burn good DVDs on the fly. Cost about $800 each.

Feed the video and audio out of your camera into a RF convertor. Take the output of the convertor, if needed, and feed into a distribution amp and then you can run RG59 or RG60 cables several hundred feet to the rooms you need, which would carry the video and audio signal muxed. At that point you could feed it into a DVD/VCR combo. This would give you the outputs you need to feed to the projector, and at the same time give you the capability to play a DVD without having to swap cables.

You may be from MS but your reading comprehension is better than mine, sorry! BlushBlush

I use a "S-Video Sender" from Elite, that sends a high quality video only over any 2 wire conductor for several hundred feet. Can be phone wire, thermostat wire, any twisted pair - anything! Up to 1000 feet over dual coax leads.
For both audio and Video try this blaun: S-Video™+Audio over Cat 5
