I'm in the process of implementing a rear projection system that is going to serve as a 'background' for a news set for our school. Think of it as a TV studio...
Well, the lighting experts just finished up, and there's a fair amount of light hitting the screen from the front. It's *almost* usable. Almost. The screen now looks somewhat washed out. Actually, I should rephrase that -- I don't think that any light is hitting the screen directly -- It's all ambient. There's just lots of it.
As our budget really won't support a larger projector, I'm evaluating other options for improving this.
One thought is that the projector area behind the screen is not enclosed, and the set lighting is lighting this area almost as much behind the screen as it is in front.
If I totally enclose the projector area, should I see a dramatic improvement i.e. less 'washing out'?
The screen is Da-Lite Da-Tex.
The other option is to add a second projector exactly like the first one, and do some type of image combining. Would that work?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
