| Idea for an auto changing marquee.... |

I was checking out the king arcade with the 22" marquee sized LCD here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=115898.0 and I was thinking about how this can be accomplished without a really expensive LCD screen. I was thinking that now that they have really cheap, really small, projectors that it would be possible to project the marquee from inside the cab onto a rear projection screen where the marquee would be. These pico projectors use LED lights so they don't really need much if any cooling at all. Has anyone tried this before? I don't want to jump through hoops if it has already been proven not to work. |

I like your thinking, Problems I see would be the distance back from screen you would have to have in order to get the right width. Then you would have to work a way to block out the top and bottom parts of the projection (22" across would be about 11" tall if in a widescreen resolution). finally you would have to create all the images. So yeah, feasible. Let us know how it looks if you do it :) |

It's been suggested and done. I'm too lazy to look for the thread but its around here somewhere. |

Cool! I was sure someone would have thunk it! It doesn't look like it is ready for prime time yet though! Guess I should start saving my pennies for one of those custom LCD screens... |
