Chicago Scenic is revamping their rental soft goods and has a good amount of black commando drape that they would like to donate to a local theatre. If someone is interested, please contact me at jburch@chicagoscenic.com. Thanks!

Kyle, about your SMMP question. There were eleven for Houston in '08 and eleven for Cincy in '09 and I bet if I had the Phoenix stuff here with me it probably says there were eleven for '07 as well.

Stewart FilmScreen would be my first choice, and probably the most expensive.
Other companies like Draper, DaLite, ScreenWorks, etc. can also do this. Your frame will have to be very robust or it will deflect under the tension of a 33'-34' span. Unlike a front projection screen that will allow you to have intermediate supports, you must have a clear span for rear projection. If you want to roll this up like an oleo drop, then it can be very difficult to get a tube large enough to span 34' without sagging in the middle, but it can be done if you have enough money.

Bill,

We can build one for you. If you'd like you can e-mail be at braxton.winston@rosebrand.com. There are many different projection surfaces to choose from (including of cource your traditional vinyl projection screen). We can go over the details if you would like.

I need a lead on where to find a screen for rear projection, 12' H x 33' W. Any advise?

Kyle, Outdoor signage can be more complex than most people think. Fixtures (lights, projectors/LED displays, computers, signal adapters/boosters, etc.) that are outdoors have to be IP rated (this is a measure of how well the enclosure prevents the infiltration of bugs, dust, & water), thermally managed (shouldn't overheat in the summer daytime, freeze-up in the winter nighttime, or fog-over in high humidity), it must be mounted to sustain wind-loads (can't blow off the roof and kill someone), and it must be properly served with electricity and signals in a way that is safe and doesn't introduce water leaks into the building. In addition to that, the amount of light you need to make a readable sign / image depends upon the surface you are projecting upon, the size of the image, and the ambient light spilling onto the surface. If your facility is interested in getting something like this designed, then it would be prudent to see that all of these issues are addressed. If you want to discuss this further drop me a note at info (at) teqniqal.com

QUESTION***

So my University is looking for a way to advertise on 2 sides of our flyhouse. I found a very nice Martin Exterior 1200 Image Projector... than found out it costs about $30k. Does anyone have any advice on equip to do this. I don;t care if it has CYM mixing... The Marting in a stand alone and that was nice... with the ability to have 4 gobos... I was more looking for an outdoor digital projector... Can anyone help?
