never been on the dragon at night though.
It is different. I've got several hundred laps over the dragon, it doesn't even look aliketh same road at night, becareful up there at night. Lots of critters roming up there too including bears. A few years ago a mini was rolling on the dragon and hit a bear. The bear was just pissed off but the mini was totaled.

I also took a lap in a mini on thier midnight cruise of the dragon, dewd had some may rally lights on the car it was like daylight. We don't have rally lights!

I'll make sure after the event to get the link to all my shots to all the Z people!
make sure we get a copy too, we'll post them up on zdayz.com

As for regular DVD or Blu-Ray, with a screen that large, you want the highest resolution possible to avoid the screen door effect.




That would be good! I see what you mean with the moving tail lights. Nice idea.
Last year we waited on really good dusk to start the intro videos and dark to start the movie.

Why would you need to do that? Your source (the DVD player) and the projector just simply need to be together. Besides, A 100' cable would delay the image just slightly enough that it wouldn't match the audio.

Cables have come down in price in the past couple years. My theater's 35' cable was $200 two years ago. I see a 100' cable with in line signal booster is around $300 now. I think you're better off with a short one instead.

My theater is still under the screen in a traditional sense. My reciever, Xbox, PC, everything sits under the 110" screen. The projector is over head with a gable ceiling. I could prolly getaway with a 50' cable though. I have to do some measuring.

hey man, I bought the projector cuase it was cheaper than a tv. Don't feel poor, I'm not an AV snob, it was just a few months ago I upgraded from a 480i computer projector to an HD projector.

The twisted part is taking the projector to ZdayZ and playing guitar hero all week on the wall. Instant party. There is a video floating around of the staff cabin from last year, too cool. It turned into mass karaoke, LOL 40 peoplke squaking and drinking.

The wildlife will never be the same.

Sure, I'd be glad to help y'all with whatever. But why can't you move the source closer to the projector?

I wasn't there for the movie last year so I don't know the set up.

oh I know! haha! I've been to ZdayZ in the past! Back in the Z owner days. But myself and guests would always just hang out with the fellow Michigan people like Jerry etc! This year will be different. Count many of missed beer pong shots by...

I guess I could put it in the closet which is sort of behind the projector but that is the spare bed room and I think that would be odd to go into another room to change a game or DVD, and the satelite feed only comes in the Living room, so either way I'm pulling something new.

I wasn't there for the movie last year so I don't know the set up.
I was teasing ya earlier, but it probably won't be the latest greatest hardware, but it looked pretty darn good last year.

I need mo info about your set up. I might be able to piece together something a little better.

I was an A/V nerd at my last job, you said all sound was to be transmitted FM correct? So all we need to worry about is video?

Then why were you asking how to set up your PS3? It "seemed" basic.

I was in charge of a ~$1M theater on weekends. Equipment didn't change. I quit that job in 2005. My TV couldn't handle the 24 fps rate, I didn't know this at the time and so didn't know I needed to cut it off.

I know how to trouble shoot A/V issues. I just wanted to spend as little time as possible doing it since Gatti and others have the same TV as me.

You think I'm full of crap I can give you the theater managers number. He will probably be there tomorrow.

I lub when joo guize try to call me out.
