The thing is exatly that. Almost all of thos projectors DO HAVE an offset above 100%. I need it to be 100% (at best adjustable with lens shift, in order to start the image on the floor with no or very minimal keystone. Anyway, thank you for trying, G. Just googled it. ET-DLE020 is the name, and it could be a solution. Designed for all WUXGA panasonic projectors. Sounds good, but unfortunately 9K $ just the lens, is far to much for my budget. 9K $ would be my max budget for the whole thing, if everything is very convincing. In addition to that, most of the compatible projectors are quite heavy and many airlines don't even take luggage heavyier than 25 kg (case included). This is also a top limitation. Thank you anyway, I'll check again. Maybe second hand or some kind of special offer.

Hi everyone, I need a short throw projector to fill a screen starting at floor level, placing the projector on the floor. I've been looking for this quite a long time with little success: Short throw projector (0.5:1 or less)Minimum 5k lmHigh contrastAble to project at lens/floor level (ideally with vertical lens shift - alternatively fixed at 100% offset - Purist might say 50% offset, which I feel to be right, but I find that most people call this 100%)All the rest is less important FHD resolution is enoughLight weight and small size preferred since it will have to travel a lotI'v tried the PANASONIC PT RZ970 with a 0.35 lens, but it is mirrored throwing back over the top of the projector so even being 100% offset (the lowest allowed by the lens shift), the lens is quite high above the floor. and to fill the screen bottom I need tilting the projector quite a lot, consequently requiring keystoning, loosing screen size, and having focus issues. I've also tried the Fuji Z5000. Really impressive in its lens shift abilities and image quality, but I would like to look a bit further. This one was "just" 5k lm, a bit weak on contrast, quite pricey for those specs and somewhat heavy (12 kg + big flight case required). Right now I'm using a cheap "hacked" InFocus 3500 lm (IN128HDSTx) - But I need to upgrade, since I need more quality. The hack consisted in making a permanent lensshift. Since there was not enough space for moving the lens all the required way, I also had to tilt it a bit. The offset is perfect for me, and wieght and size are great for travelling around, but I loose sharpness in 2/3 of the screen and the brightness is quite low. I'm willing to spend up to 9000 € if it is really a great projector fulfilling almost all my wishes (7000 lm up, high contrast, lens shift allowing projection at floor level) Hanging the projector is not an option, since I usually do not have much time for set up and not always the possibility to hang it. So the easiest (and what I'm looking for) is to put the projector right on the floor. Any hint would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, BAAL PS: I tried to insert a picture, but I was not allowed. Not sure why.

Thanks James,I had seen this power opaqued glass several years ago (actually I was almost a child). As you said it is probably too expensive and not very tourable (even less taking into account that we're living on an island and need to take a plane/boat for every gig abroad). Nevertheless I'll try to check out. Maybe our guesses are wrong and it is something like light plexiglas and not that expensive.

Hi there, For our new project I want to "create" a separated space on stage that is sometimes seen and sometimes not.The idea is something like the plot in the link below. I would like to behave it as glass, but be able to do som mapping on top of it.1. When I lit the space behind it, I would like the audience to see through the screen2. When there is no light behind it, I woud like the screen to be as opaque as possible (like windows when outside is dark and inside is lit).3. I would like being able to do some mapping on the screen. I tried 1 and 2 with reflective foil. As expected, it works quite well for 1 and 2, but it completely failed at 3. Even though I did not try too hard. Maybe with a stronlens shift I would be better.I've seen Holo-Gauze and PepperScrim, both are probably too translucent, but I could try with conventional Gauze before purchasing any of these quite expensive screens.A quite interesting project I came across in this same forum was this one https://www.wilkiebranson.com/promo (but it is not really what I'm looking for). I would really appreciate any hints, ideas or tricks to accomplish that. Translucent screen
