[work-related] - My house has gotten 3000% Shinier this weekend.
What am I looking at here?
Bad cameraphone video of my apartment windows, transformed into 3 video screens. I used the windows' Venetian blinds as the projection surface... what you are seeing is the image AFTER it has passed through the thick white plastic of the blinds!
What is on the screens?
The music video for "Only" by Nine Inch Nails, from the Extra Features of the "Beside You In Time" DVD.
How the hell did you do that?
S-Video external-monitor output of my Powerbook connected to a five-way composite/S-Video distribution amplifier (splitter), then split out to three 3000-Lumen projectors. The 50' cable run from the distribution amp to each projector is via RJ45 Cat5 Ethernet cable, with S-Video baluns (transformers) at each end.
But WHY?
Mainly, because I could. But also to test the setup for a few upcoming gigs (notably the Good and Bad Faeries' Ball events in October).
What's wrong with you?
I wish I knew.
