theatretechie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi all, I have a project that requires the remote placement of a projector with is own compact player. The projection surface will be a curve so will need to be able to set some warping. Then just let the unit play a loop of content. Any suggestions?? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Is it feasible to render the content with warps already in place? I realise that potentially means another site visit for initial setup but that will really open up your choice of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theatretechie Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Its possible. We looked at that. But the content they want will be animated, with just text in the centre that will be changed for different countries. Just trying to make it as simple as possible for the users who will not have instant access to technicians when they setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitlane Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 This site has a pretty good list of software. Would ofxPiMapper do the job? Runs on a Raspberry Pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theatretechie Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks everyone. This is really interesting. I only normally use MA VPU, Coolux and Catalyst. So never looked into such small devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Could you not do the warp in the projector? Something like a Panasonic unit with the geometry module? That way, any signage player will work. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
