I need to set up 6 projectors in the ceiling and do a giant floor display. Would this work or is there a better solution?

The obvious answer would be to contact the manufacturer directly. However, I do know they sell a six (6) monitor display video card that you can install onto your hard drive. I went from two to three monitor display boxes. Every time I had a problem (twice), I called them and they fixed it. They go through a painstaking process to help the customer out. The only caution I will provide, is that once you get any numbered display box, and install the software, do not update the software. Each time I did so, my display box got corrupted. My download was coming from their (Matrox) website. But like I said, they provide unprecedented customer service. Also keep in mind, they are located in Canada so if you call them, you'll be incurring long distance charges. Hope this helped.

I was very unhappy with the triple play I purchased. It would not work with either of my laptops or my workstation. I'll sell you mine really cheap if you want it!

My ceiling is also about 11 feet. I was able to adjust the settings on my projector, and was able to get it to show perfectly. I really think it is dependent on your projector. You may want to put it on top of a ladder, and see if you can adjust the image. Hope this info helps.

Yes, I set one up to send VGA and Audio to a projector and it worked well. Added two additional classrooms -- those two converters were shipped from China and took a few week to arrive. Look for Prime or US shipping for speedy delivery.

This will depend on several factors, projector distance from Screen, will your seats/viewers block any of the projection, hight of ceiling - I have projected from 60 inches to 200 inches in some tests. I am now constructing a home theater area using a wall painted white at ~110" wide and ~62" tall (16x9 ratio or 126" diag). Check the specs but I believe this projector can go over 20 feet wide (try this on the side of you house). This projector is both bright and can project larger than I oringinally imagined. Good luck with what ever you end up with.

Not really...unless your projector accepts different color profiles. It's designed to calibrate a computer screen or display based on the ambient room light. It will also monitor the room light and make screen adjustments on the fly. It can be used to match the colors of one or more displays to each other. It will work with a projector if you need to match that to a computer or a camera, etc. I think for a projector showing TV shows, a test target would be more useful. This device cannot improve what isn't there to begin with. It all hinges on being able to change .icm color profiles and match those profiles between devices, including cameras, monitors, projectors and printers.

Yes, it would work well for this. The projector has to be a fixed distance from the screen which is probably about 4-5 feet to get to 120 inches, but should not be an issue since you are not mounting it. You can determine that with an online calculator. The Lumens are pretty high so should have pretty good visibility at dusk. Only other issue is it is not true HD (1080p) but still looks really good. I use it for my indoor Golf Simulator and it does the trick.

Let's be clear... this question is being asked on item BM-5001U, which is used to mount a projector to the ceiling. This mount can be used with a variety of projectors. Any answers, on this item, regarding your question about connections and cables should be disregarded because we don't know which projector you have in mind. Projectors come in a variety of native resolutions, digital and analog connections, refresh rates, contrast ratios, brightness levels... They can also be designed for different markets - home theaters, classrooms, gaming, data presentation... Some are designed for small spaces (short throw). In general, you can find a projector to fit your needs. In general, a projector can have digital and/or analog connections and can be hooked up to any video/audio source, just like a TV. In general the clarity of the picture is dependent on native resolution, contrast, brightness, as well as the signal from the video source. For instance, a blu-ray movie (which is 1080p) on a projector with native 1920x1080 resolution looks amazing. A regular 480i DVD through that same 1920x1080 projector, or a 1080p blu-ray through a 1200x800 projector won't look as good.

I would call their tech support. I bought this projector and LOVE IT. I called them with the screen size and the distance and they told me exactly where to place it and how far down it had to hang.

This is nothing more than a Booster/splitter. In other words, it will display the same thing on two different monitors or projectors. It could best be described as being "dumb" hardware. If you want unique images on each of the two external monitors you will need something like a USB to VGA adapter (which this is not). Good luck to you.

yes, i think this would work. i currently use one that splits 1 input hdmi into 4 hdmi. it works simultaneously or one output source at a time. for example, either tv and projector or both tv and projector.

I would recommend buying a motorized screen for that type of set up. This screen comes with wall mounts you would have to engineer something to mount from the ceiling.

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

Yes, just not from any flimsy ceiling tiles! Make sure you at least have a wood backing up there. Also, make SURE the mount will fit before you buy!! I had to seriously alter mine to get it to line up w the mounts on the projector but now it's pretty good. Good thing Amazon has a great return policy if not though. I like the pivoting feature and ease to tighten that. Hope this helps!

You could, but it needs to be in the back of the room so it would need to clear your seating. The further away it is the bigger picture you can project. I bought a bracket for under $30 and put it in drywall ceiling with no studs, worked perfectly. Awesome projector!

Honestly I would pick another projector. It works very well...the only reason why I would say pick another one is because the room has to be very dark in order to see the image projected. Any light makes it hard to see the image. If projected in daylight, don't even bother with this one because you will never see the image.

No, you shouldn't have any trouble. We control three at a time on our track lights with no problem, and they're spaced much farther apart than they would be in a ceiling fan. Keep in mind that you will likely need another light source for when you need brighter light in the room.

yes. it will work for you. but please remember this is not a full hd projector; it is not clear enough for small fonts and delicate details.
