MID Build...ANYONE USING THE EPSON 2045 HOME CINEMA ? /various other questions

[Rippin3wIndoors]

I am smack in the middle of my build and I got this projector for it, wanted to know if anyone has it. has any tips of best place to mount. My room is 10'w x13'Hx18' L thinking I am going to ceiling mount it 1' back of my enclosure which is 10' high no shadows .....Also what type of light is best to see and not take away with projector quality, running the electric so I suppose I should have asked this a touch earlier. THANKS

No light other than projector is best. If you need light, some low wattage halogen spots on the hitting area is good.

Depends on what your simulator hardware tech is though, whether or not lights affect use at all.

Make sure that your 10' x 18' space is even going to allow you to swing clubs. 18 is great for width but you need more than 10 for depth.

What system are you planning?

[Rippin3wIndoors]

No it's my width that's make its tight ... It's 10 wide 18 feet long... I can comfortably swing a driver but I always check my stance position because my back swing is only 1.5'-2.5' feet off the wall behind me

My system:
2 black archery panels for top and front and 2 -1" netting for sides... With a PR-20 as a third panel in front..
Skytrak
With IPad
Apple TV to
Epson 2045 home cinema projector

I am in the middle of my build and am going to be wiring where my projector will go and a halogen spot light .... Any tips of locations ? Any and all help is much appreciated... MAN am I pumped and I love this site. Can't wait for the TGC software to drop, I will need a computer to run ? Even though a Skytrak rep said I could use the iPad Apple TV setup but pretty sure they were blowing wind via butthole wifi

I was more wondering about what sim you were planning but I see in the last post you are planning skytrak. Remember you need to have the unit at least a foot or so (not sure the exact) from the hitting area. Then you need to be able to swing. Can you do this in a 10' space? The follow through is most likely the problem area. If you can swing in that space you may want to angle your hitting area so that you can hit to the center of the screen and even angle the screen.

I think 10' is wide is enough to swing for most people. It will feel tight though and may affect your swing. You'll be off center which bothers some but not others. Angling might be an option although angling bothered me in the stance so I prefer being square with the room even if off center. It's probably an individual thing so hard to predict without trying.

[Rippin3wIndoors]

The 10' wide isn't ideal but I can comfortably swing a driver / 3w ... I off my mat, the angling of the screen is fine but my ocd would have a major issue
