Hi guys,

 

We are busy planning and preparing for a premium online video streaming portal for publishers.

 

We are busy looking into video hosting companies that stream well.

 

I would love to have some recommendations and we have started looking into the following:

https://www.uscreen.tv/

 

https://www.muvi.com/

 

https://www.brightcove.com/

 

https://sproutvideo.com/

 

https://wistia.com/

 

https://corp.kaltura.com/

 

https://www.dailymotion.com/

 

Any other suggestions or comments on personal experiences will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Tom, that is indeed how we are approaching this.

Since your project involves quite specialist projection surfaces (which have very specialist rigging/setup requirements) and large specialist projectors which have very particular needs when used with the projection surfaces you are projecting on to I really think the best advice anyone can give you is that you shouldn't be trying to coordinate this project in house and should instead be handing the technical side of this project to a company who've done this before; someone who knows all the technical problems and complications you are going to face and who has the expertise to avoid them and make the project seamless; all you have to do is tell them what you want to achieve.

 

By definition whoever you're planning to get the Hologauze from will be able to put you in touch with multiple companies with experience of doing exactly what you are trying to do; ask a couple of them for a quote and save yourself a lot of stress and hassle.

Indeed, thanks Tom. We are considering all our options. That is why we are trying to gather as much info as possible so we can draw a comparison.

Speak to your hologauze provider about getting a turnkey service that involves supplying the screen, projector, lens and all the other specialist skills needed to set up and make this kit work properly - it will cost you a lot less time and money that trying to learn and do everything in house.

 

Thanks Mike, we are busy doing research on both options so we can do a comparison.

Barco, christie, panasonic, all make good kit. Are you planning to buy or hire?

 

My preference is panasonic, generally used in a corporate environment, But once had a 20k laser one setup in a cinema, and it blew the house projector (a 30k lamped Barco I think) out of the water in colour and brightness.

Good day all, any ideas on which projectors are most suitable to use and would these guys be my goto people for projectors? - https://www.barco.com/

 

It is for an opera performance inside an opera concert hall.

 

We are looking at a screen width of approx 15m. Not 100% sure about height yet.

 

It is going to be mostly 3d holographic projections on a front and rear hologauze screen.

Apologies, been very busy on this project and only checked in now. I just want to thank everybody for their input, it was helpful indeed. It was the viewing angle I was after in terms of vertical angle (height) but I am glad you guys also mentioned the horizontal angle.

 

Next step is to source the correct projectors and I believe these are the people to speak to? - https://www.barco.com/

The original poster has not been back since they posted the question a week ago. I think we are talking to ourselves.

If the audience is sitting inside a theatre with different height levels of seating, how would one then deal with the projection angle? Would audience members at a certain seating height have a better viewing experience than others? If so, how would one deal with it?
