I think we'll have you beat this time!

Let's count full color Pangolin rigs:

Mecheng3 has 2
Buffo has 1
Allthat has 1
DZ has 1
LJK has 1
DJ Matt has 2
Daedal has 1
Stuka has 1
Mophead has 1
300Evil has 1
DocJohn has 1
Whitcher 88 has 1
Gottaluvlasers has 1

So that's 15 right there, and they're all running Pangolin. But we're not done yet, because I'm *pretty* sure that...

James Lehman has 1
Carmangary has 1
Laserjock has 1
RGB-Gas has 1
Dr Lava has 1

So that's 20 projectors, all full color.

And though I'm not sure they'll be bringing them, I think:
WolfBlue has 1
Imagelight has 2

Plus a couple people have talked about bringing green-only projectors, or RGY projectors. So potentially we're looking at a *LOT* of projectors. For sure we'll easily surpass 9 synchronized RGB projectors though.

My guess is that we'll probably max out at around 12 to 14 synchronized RGB rigs, because that's going to be close to the limit for QM-2000 boards. (It's very easy to link up a bunch of QM-2000 boards via the .net software, but I don't think it's possible to link QM-2000's with FB3's, and some of the Pangolin RGB projectors will be running on FB3's...)

Though if we simply used a splitter cable, we could link every projector in the house together no matter what controller they were using... That would make - what, 20 projectors at least? Something like that anyway...

That's a worthy goal for SELEM 2010 I think. Build a buffered splitter box so that a single controller can run say, 6 projectors. Then build a pair of these boxes and you're all set!

Bottom line, SELEM 2009 is going to be one hell of a show, no matter how many projectors we manage to link up!

Holy chit batman!!!

I'm sure you'll end up with the "3-2-1-GO!"-tactic to sync each group of ten projectors .

I'm sure you'll end up with the "3-2-1-GO!"-tactic to sync each row of ten projectors .

Nope; we solved that one at the last FLEM; we are net synched now, AND we have some shows that are saved with different tracks saved to separate scanners.

I wonder if we can arrange a power cut?

HAHA! Yeah, we were stuck with that method for a while, weren't we? But now that we've got Pangolin's .net software all figured out, we can sync them pretty easily.

The problem is that not everyone is running the LD-2000. So how do you sync up those other projectors, when they might not even be able to read the show file format? The answer there is a buffered ILDA splitter, which I *hope* we'll have available for this event.

I wonder if we can arrange a power cut?

Power cut? You mean a power outage? Sounds like a desperate and pathetic attempt to hold on to your record!

In all seriousness though, you guys will probably eclipse us again with your next UKLEM. You've *consistently* had both more members and more equipment in attendance when compared to even the largest meets we've had here in the US. (You had, what, 30 + people at UKLEM 4? Something like that...) We've yet to top 25. (23 is our record so far, but this year we just might beat it with a few more last-minute attendees...)
