Hi Adrian what did the LCD show involve was it one of the new sonys etc and what media was going through, sounds interesting.
I love film but love LCD as well though mine are modest by todays standards.
The philips B,sure is office with a home cinema side thats great, 4/3 + 16/9 etc but much of the stuff I enjoy is that.
It can apparently do modest Hi Res but ony got DVD at the moment.
What was the interest like at the do, they are an absolutely superb add on to film collecting.
Best Mark.

Mark,

This year I used the following equipment:

Sony VPL AW15 LCD video projector £849.99
Sony BDP S300 blue ray player £319.99
Yamaha NSP 440 speaker system £299.99
Sony STR DG700 dolby amp £199.99

All shown on a 100" tripod screen.

The results were excellent. I did 2 shows consisting of a normal 20 odd minute dvd show - trailers, intro's, musical numbers, & black & white. Then about 5 minutes of High Definition from a demo disc.

Kind regards

Adrian

Answer for Michael...

The 16mm show is currently set to be the shortest show of all the gauges so it's just my idea at the moment to drop it. Mr. Wilts may decide to proceed as planned and have all gauges plus the bespoke production on video which isn't possible to replicate on film.

We don't ever want to give the impression video projection is featured to promote this medium ahead of film though. Far from it! We look at home video projection as a means to supplement the film collecting hobby. However good the technology gets there is no way to replace the magic of those reels going around.

Hi Adrain, sounds great, what you get for £850 from sony now LCD wise is just amazing.
I`m trailer mad but its getting hard to find discs with them on nowadays on dvd as the mags etc who used to do them rarely do now, I often watch them instead of film.
I hear the budget sony BR player is really good for the cash, I wonder just where the old two thing nonsense will end up, maybe with both carrying on but small compared to usual DVD.
Its amazing now what kit you can get together for a few notes compared with not many years ago.
If anyone is fancying LCD you simply can`t beat a sony new for that.
Do they do 1080P or just i Adrian or just the usual resolution.
The office sony CS2 I had for 5 years was superb for video projection in the home.
Best Mark.
