Digital Signage systems

[dhicks]

More expensive projectors will allow you to do more. The alternatives are mounting the projector at 90 degrees to normal and doing it that way (use rotation on the client machine if the projector can't do it)

 

Our projectors already cost £600 each, and we aren't getting any more new ones soon! The problem was that projected screen was distorted into a trapezium. Looks easy enough to sort out in software, just got to find some that can. Or, I see an ActionScript library that would do it...

Are there any digital signage systems around that can correct a distorted projector image, i.e. apply a projective transform to the image to be shown so that the image has straight edges? I was wondering this the other day as I was setting up a projector to point at the 45-degree sloping ceiling in the lobby of our new building. It would have been more convenient to have the projector well off to one side and to be able to correct "keystone" both horizontally and vertically from software - projectors, for some reason, only let you compensate for vertical "keystone". Anyone know why this is, or of any software that can fix this?

might be a daft midnight thought but if you can figure out a way to mount the projector the right way round and not upside down as per usual ceiling mount the keystone would be the right way round?

Nope - the projector in question was being pointed at a ceiling that slopes at a 45 degree angle, and the projector was off-centre as well (couldn't place the projector cabinet in the middle of the corridor!). The projected screen was distorted into an irregular trapezium shape. It needs some kind of projective transform applied to the image to correct for that distortion.

Offer both a free (limited version) or a subscription based one. Depends on your needs - have a look.

A suggestion I've seen on here (And which I'm intending to try is basically using Powerpoint together with (free) Showpoint (PresentationPoint | ShowPoint control remotely) and LiveWeb (LiveWeb - insert and update web pages real-time in PowerPoint)

 

For those who are already using this technique, what kit are you using for the transmitter/receivers. I've got prices for the AVE 300 system, the ATP-VA39 , but have no experience of any of this stuff.

 

Any recommendations good or bad?
