Hello Everyone,
I know this question comes up every now and then. I've looked at the previous posts and none of them answers all of my questions, so here goes. If you have any advice or suggestions, they'd be much appreciated.
I'm working on an installation for a museum.
I would like to project a few 5 minute long clips in 360° in a large round room, for 8 hours each day.
The room is eggshaped and its longer dimension is about as long as a schoolbus.
The museum is in a remote place (desert) and I don't think I can rely on the staff there to do any complex technical setups each morning.
I think I'll need to build a dedicated Windows machine with a GTX 1080, putting out 2 4k streams into 2 Datapath x4s.
Here are some questions I have:
Am I right in thinking I need a PC with a GTX 1080 and 2 Datapath x4s?
What could I add to this setup to do the warping and edge blending?
Are there projectors with inbuilt warp / edgeblending software?
Can anyone recommend any Full-HD projectors with reliable, uniform color and brightness across different units?
Are there any media servers that can be configured to just boot up and start playing?
Can Arena help me here?
Is there an easy way to configure a setup which only begins playing video once people enter the egg-shaped projection room?
How difficult is it to sync the output of the two 4k streams, or is this a dumb question / unnecessary?
Grateful for any input you might have...
