BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - A PERFECT MATCH

First Visit: Thanks to Mike [mgrobins] for allowing me use his Home Theatre to demonstrate the "Aussiemorphic Lens" with his Benq 8720 projector...

BEAUTY [BENQ 8720] & THE BEAST [THE "AUSSIEMORPHIC LENS"]

The demo was an excellent example of how easy the "Aussiemorphic Lens" is to use with virtually any video projector in a CIH set up. With the Benq 8720 already mounted on a shelf, the "Aussiemorphic Lens" simply sat in the light path. We used "Letter Box" to perform the "scaling" [using 100% of the panel] and below are some screen shots from...

THE LORD OF THE RINGS - RETURN OF THE KING...


The screen was supplied by Oz Theatre Screens and is the Majestic [with a flocked edge] using Evolution3D fabric. The screen surface is 2370mm x 1000mm...

Second Visit: A revisit tonight [9th May 2007] with new full sized image from
LORD OF THE RINGS - THE TWO TOWERS...

Third Visit: I have calibrated Mick's Benq PE8720 using Joe Kane's Digital Video Essentials DVD. The projector offers a wide variety of user options making calibration so much better than other projectors.

His room treatments also look and sound really good, so I will add photos of them to this page soon.

Forth Visit: As promised, I took photos of the screen and room treatments and of course another couple of screen shots, this time after calibration...

The custom treatments serve a dual purpose - Acoustics [controlled reverberation and sound isolation] and light control. Each panel is custom made for its specific location and gives the room a very professional look... And I just realized there is no photo of the cloud - doh!!! Anyway, here are some screen shots from -

I think Mgrobins has the perfect match of video components in his system -
The BenQ 8720 projector, the "Aussiemorphic Lens" combine to produce these stunning images projected onto the OzTS Majestic Screen with Evo3D fabric...
