Foresight GC2+HMT FSX2020 system install with Sportscreen Remote Control Screen

[Chuck Gleason]

I thought I'd share my latest Simulator setup. I discovered the Sportscreen remote control screen via Par2Pro.com. This video shows some of the challenges I had to do the install and what I learned in the process.

Here's the link to the video I did on the setup: https://vimeo.com/410922576

Here's a link to the camera I purchased. This camera works great and will save you several hundred dollars! https://www.amazon.com/Varifocal-2-8-12mm-Webcamera-Compliant-Adjustable/dp/B07R4CLRQH/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=2.8-12mm+Varifocal+Lens+USB&qid=1587651344&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNVlPO EYyRzdNUjZKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTg5MDEzMzlTMVdKRUN WTkhZOCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODk3ODEwMUJRQUs2WjBQU FZWVCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWR pcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
- Great thing about this camera is that it's USB2 instead of USB3. Doesn't require any special USB cable. Foresight FSX2020 recognized it immediately

Here's a link to the Microsoft Wireless HDMI Video adaptor: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wireless-Display-Adapter-Hdmi/dp/B01C9YTI9S/ref=sr_1_1?crid=7SSTO2IKSTUX&dchild=1&keywords=mic rosoft+wireless+display+adapter+v2+-+hdmi%2Fusb+miracast+dongle&qid=1587651502&sprefix =microsoft+wireless+hdmi+%2Caps%2C261&sr=8-1
- This adapter works Great! No lag was noticed at all compared to other adapters. My next door neighbor uses this.

- The Eiki projector from Par2Pro is 1st rate. 5500 lumens and in my opinion focusses to a crisper image than any projector I've ever owned. I had a Panasonic before and the Panasonic focus would be sharp in the middle and a little fuzzy on the edges.

- Sportscreen Setup feedback: They need to enhance the remote programming instructions for the upper and lower limits of the screen to include 2 options: Motor mounted on Right and Motor mounted on left. It took me a minute to figure out that the instructions you sent me were backwards based on my setup.

- The black mesh Sportscreen backing is not required if you order an impact golf screen from Par2Pro. I cut the backing off at the top just below the thick velcro. The golf screen attaches at rolls quite nice. If you prefer a backing, I'd suggest doing a different backing for golf applications. A thinner material (a tackle twill for example) and not do the velcro strip in the middle so you don't see the strip in the screen when the projector is on.

That's it. I hope this is useful for someone.

Chuck Gleason thank you so much for this video and laying out your learnings! Thanks for taking the time.

I received my GC2, the stealth impact screen plus gaming laptop with bluetooth dongle from Par2Pro the other week. I also bought the Elite mat which I love. I am still waiting for the sports screen as this ships later from Canada. I wonder if I see the same issues and also totally forgot that the motor needs power. In addition I got motorized side netting too so more power needed there as well. I may need to get creatve as well withe the black sports screen netting if this shines thru. I put up my stealth screen temporarily attached to my beams and I love it. Its heavy and kind of works on its own.

Some questions:
Does the motorized part come with a power plug or just a cable and you have to do some electrician work?
Is there no lag or quality issue with the Wireless hdmi adapter. Does if do full 1920 or do you have reduced graphics?
