Help on work Conf room / projectors

815 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  laburnes
We are building a new conference rooms at work and my boss's want me to use the skills I learned (here) in my home theater for this room.


The idea is to have 2 projectors in this room since the front wall is only 9 foot tall yet its 60 feet long. Plan is to use 2 Optima HD65’s going to about a 96” diagonal screen. I need to use splitters to be able to project the same image on both.


I need a way to split hdmi / VGA / S-video / composite up in a drop ceiling (up in the ceiling)


I do this at home between my LCD and projector (produces images on both that the same time) using a Monoprice unit but this is the type of unit that sits on my rack.


I need something that can go up into a drop ceiling that will do hdmi and these analog sources (or several units).


The next problem is that the cable runs are a bit over 50 foot say the analog units might need to be repeaters. Like at home, I use a 50' hdmi cable and it works perfectly. But adding the splitter in the ceiling will allow me to run a 35' foot cable to the splitter and then maybe 15' cables to the projectors (same for all inputs). Of course trying a VGA connecton at 50' is a bad idea.


We will have a new Onkyo 606 to help with the AV along with being able to jsut directly connect a device (like cable TV or laptop) strait to the cables if we need to.


Any ideas?

My question to you is: Is this something that you want to do? Are you going to get paid for it, or are you doing it just for the heck of it.


Reason I'm asking.... if there are any problems and the company has invested a lot of money.... they'll all be looking at you for an explanation.
