What equipment do I call for for an outside projector show? A small club would like to show a TV
A small club would like to show a TV football winter sport on a 'biggish' screen - outside - not sure what equipment set up will work best.
Answers:
Everything the poster above is correct, but don't necessarily go for over 2000 Lumen. I've used 4 different projectors for my outdoor theater and none of them be more than 1200 Lumen and I'm throwing it almost 40 feet. However, within are no streetlights around my home and the only ambient reading light really is however bright the stars and moon are.
Here's a link to the site that get me started. It started out as a Spring/Summer thing, but in a minute it is a permanent theater that we use year round. Everthing is for always installed outside in a weatherproof cabinet, save for the projector, and we have a PS3, DVD, HD Sattelite box and 5:1 nouns in it.
During the Super Bowl we have it going on the big screen inside as resourcefully as outside for the guys smoking cigars around the fire pit.

weeder Well, perceptibly a projector able to generate a bright ample image for the size peak you want. Depending on ambient light you will probably entail a 2000 lumen or more projector.
Also, a TV tuner of some type ... e.g. a cable box or satellite receiver (preferably HD since SDTV resolution won't suit a big screen).
Then some type of amplifier and speakers for the nouns.
The final item (other than cables, wires, etc) is a blind of some type. This can be a white sheet (stretched out to take out wrinkles) or even the smooth side of a muted coloured (preferably white or light grey) building.
External screen exist (see link), and maybe someone locally have one for rent.
