I'm thinking about buying the screen material (with a gain of 1.0 - 1.2) and building the acuation system. Lighting: all X-10 controlled with movie macros set up. All drivers were tested using CLIO and the finished spearkers were tested for their frequency responce when completed. Any input would be great

I'm thinking about buying the screen material (with a gain of 1.0 - 1.2) and building the acuation system. Click to expand... Pictures Please..... I read the users manual of the Projector, or rather briefed through it. And did not see a 12 volt screen trigger. I wouldn't know how to convert for a actuator. But another solution, is you could buy a remote controlled screen and use a macro capable remote control. Press one button and both the projector powers up, and screen comes down. Press button again and off & up. I prefer a Pronto... Preferably a TSU3000 or TSU7000. But they are a bit expensive. There are many other remotes much cheaper capable of doing this. Just my 2. Oh yeah, again, Pictures Please.
