I have a Skytrak set up in my garage. I bought a 10 x10 x10 net that I installed on cables that I can expand and contract easily. The net is connected to pulleys and has a heavy archery sheet to deaden the blow of the ball. I would like to purchase the TGC software and add a screen. I would replace the archery sheet with the screen. I've never played the software so I have some questions about the set up and location of the hardware
Problem 1. I need to be able to retract my net and screen in a timely manner. The net is no problem now, but does anyone have any ideas on the screen? If I attempt to set up the screen on my current cables, I don't think it will be taught, as the cables have some give. I have them as tight as possible but I keep bending the eye bolts that hang from the ceiling (3/4" stainless steel). I may create a new run of cable from one end of the garage to the other so as to avoid the downward connection via eye bolt, but I'm still not sure I will resolve the cables having some give inward from the weight of the net and screen. Does anyone have a similar set up? My garage is about 25 feet from front to back and still need to get the door open.
Question 2. I understand what I need in computer hardware with the exception of the following.
a. Will I need a monitor once it is set up? Or can I just use the screen as my monitor?
b. How often will I need to access the computer once in game play mode? I have a great spot for the computer at the end of the net in the direction I hit the balls. This would require me to walk all the way around the net to access the controls. I see people in the videos walking over to the computer quite often and I'm not sure what they are doing.
c. If I buy a projector with WiFi will this be sufficient or do you recommend hard wired via HDMI?
