Has anyone any experience of using mirrors with a projector?
When my room was designed it was planned to use a Sony VP400 projector, this has a lens which will allow it to be located on the opposite side of the room to the screen. A housing was installed which allows the projector to disappear into the ceiling when not in use.
The problem is I purchased a VW10HT, this requires a much shorter distance from the screen, my mounting is too far back to allow the lens to fit the image onto the screen. To overcome this I have to change the image size which then fits the screen but does not use all of the LCD area which reduces resolution.
My plan to overcome this is to mount the projector under the bed in the room above, the using two mirrors in a periscope arrangement pass the image through a hole in the floor. If it works I would be able to automate the lower mirror to fold up when not in use, also the noise from the projector would be in the bedroom.
Any thoughts?
