Adv Con Digital Media - ART 623

I was able to repair the projector screw mount by soldering the screw and the adapter together and as closely as possible so it would not wobble around. It was close to being broken off from each other, much like the same issue I had with the previous projector screw mounts. Though, I have not been able to attach the second projector to the photo stand yet as I didn't have tools on me, but I checked to make sure the project screw mount is in a very stable condition, meaning it needed to be tighten down. Though, because there was a little gap between the projector and the projector screw mount, I decided to add the nut in between to add the thickness and stability control to tighten it as much as possible. I may end up doing this to the first projector as well. I readjusted the first projector to get it to its rough position and later will figure out how to zoom it in and getting the right magnification. If it could not zoom in or adjust, I may have to correct the code to th...

I was able to get the projector stands modified with a dremel tool I had on me. It only required to mill part of the ball mount to the same level as the original one. Reason I had to mill part of the mount is that the gap for the mount to turn much inward for the projector is blocking the hex screw, and if I couldn't get the hex screw go in, it will NOT tighten the entire projector down. I was able to get one installation up partially but it may need some adjustments later in the long road. For now, with the project in place, mounted, and set up for test, I was able to bring in another computer with 2 HDMI ports and, for testing purposes, I end up using 2 of the HDMI cables to make sure it splits correctly along with correct resolution. The other projector I may have to get it up and set up as well but will need to get long HDMI cables. As for coding, I only used a temporary test codes to make sure the network is working just as intended along with the delay. Somehow, the d...

The Rough Installation of my BFA Art Project is at a near completion, however, it may seem that I have encountered more technical issues, not really materials. First issue I ran into is that the HDMI cables were kind of short for the projector as the projector was set to the highest height it can be set for the stands. With it, I also forgot to get a power strip due to numerous requirements for outlet usage (3 outlets are required per each installation - 1 for Projector, 1 for TV/Monitor, and 1 for Computer). I also brought my own desktop since it's the only desktop available around me that has 2 HDMI ports for the installation, but I will be bringing in another PC of my own since it also has 2 HDMI ports as well. The second issue I ran into is that the second projector mount that I have, the screw adapter itself broke. The cause of the damage to the screw adapter is one of the projectors I've used caused an unbalanced weight to drag the screw to snap and break the inside ...

I managed to get the materials I have ordered through Amazon. However, 1 of the orders is completely wrong while the other is a partial issue. The piece of the acrylic I have received is solid black and not tinted. Though, the size of the acrylic is right, just not the right material itself, it needed to be tinted. While I had to stop for a minute, I just end up ordering an actual tinted acrylic from a reputable seller, although it will not arrive until next week. I bought four pieces just in case. The other thing I mention that was a partial issue is the photography stands that I have ordered. It is a perfectly size and height to use, although the attachment it came with is the wrong size for the projector, in which I wanted to use to hang from the photography stands. The attachment that came with the photography stands is bigger than the projector's actual standard size. I need to find the right size and thread before moving on to actually testing the projection from height ...

From the technical standpoint first, it is likely that I am going to buy the stands, specifically the photography stands, rather than building it entirely due to time constraint and size of the stand itself, so I needed some more portable, less weight, and have it more prepared and on the go. Plus, with the stands I found, they do have mounting points for certain projectors so I am wanting to get them ordered as quick as possible. The stands do also come with angle adjustments for whatever the direction it'll be needed, especially pointing it downward at a much steeper angle. The black tinted plexiglass are another thing I am going to buy but they are also the size I needed. They are standard 12 by 24 inches but also 1/8 of inches thick. They do come in pack of 3 but may buy more just incase the brightness from the projector is very bright to the point it's still penetrating a lot of tinted layers. I am avoiding doing the mirror reflection as they require complex mounting poi...

For awhile, I've trying to figure out the height of the stand for the projector due to the fact that it cannot be hung from the ceiling. It is very likely the projectors willing be sitting up high around eight to ten feet high from the ground since they will require a very angular position to project the media onto the table and the tinted glass or acrylic. The glass or acrylic piece will be placed on a small stand or some-sort since it'll act as a table vision for the projector. Though, other materials like small furniture or computers and such will be provided later on since I still need to test the projector's zoom, brightness, and sharpness. Though, the projectors I picked up, at least 1 for now, is extremely bright for the tinted tempered glass panel I brought in the studio to test it. Also, due to the reflections on a "glass" I needed to figure out a way to hide the reflection or find some way to reduce the brightness, in which I have not tested to lower i...
