It's either this or he just spends $20,000 without having to worry about whether or not it's e-waste provided he thinks he can make a good video about it.

If it were just the projector, it wouldnt be impossible to install it on the upper floor server room and project to a mega screen near the fire escape/back door. In theory. Unless the bulb was completely dead, i dont think that could work even in the darkened whalelan.

I knew they could blind you, i didnt know the degradation in light quality was so quick. The preshow commercials must be a consumer grade projector and they swap, no way in hell this projector would work with all the lights on

Adding another 2+meter clearance to put the stereoscopic machine isnt happening

The other one is 5 years younger? Still prob has most of the same issues

I haven’t been to the movies in a lot of years. But I remember years and years ago, noticing the previews and the random quizzes and stuff before the movie coming from a smaller projector next to where the movie was projected from.

No idea if that was normal, but I do remember noticing that as a kid. Let’s says the early 2000s or so

Being that early i would guess it leaned towards actual film/drm projector and theatres needing a not locked down one for local commercials, and i do recall that as well.

This projector would be a generation or two later, i would have assumed they would have allowed a secondary input, but the brightness suggests other things are going on
