what if we could have a screen the size of the entire
wall that looks amazing okay
okay last time we were here at the land gaming center badminton Hall we tried to
make the biggest possible gaming display
on this 190 Ft white wall but we ran into a
limitation our weak sauce consumer projector with its fixed lens would have
me traveling through the wall in order to get the image big enough not to
mention it's pretty DM so there was only one thing to do we brought in the big
guns so With a Little Help from our friends at Clark's Audi visual we are
going to be building the largest possible gaming display I'm talking
something worthy of Weird Al Yankovic
over 2,000 in diagonally from all the way
over there to the very far
end it's going to be a little
tricky I want to quickly shout out co-pilot who sponsored this video more
on those guys later but first let's take a look at the Beast this is the Epson
Pro l505 uh a commercial grade projector
that makes the ls 12000 look like an absolute toy fundamentally they're based
on very very similar technology it uses
oh my God hey Ry get ahe okay it uses a
three chip laser projection system giving it amazing contrast and in this
one's case spectacular brightness and
color performance this thing is rated to Output 12,000 lumens and that is in
color you can kind of cheat your Peak brightness rating if it's just white but
they didn't it weighs over 50 lb but
when you consider the performance it's actually not that much bigger than a
home Cinema projector and it's got some
major benefits for an application like this the biggest one is support for
interchangeable lenses this right here
is an Epson short throw monster that is able to achieve A8 throw ratio meaning
that we could get a 100t wide image
being only 80 ft away from the wall that
because there's another wall in the way was incredibly important for our
application because otherwise we'd have to have this thing somewhere outside of
the building over there shining through a window uh what's one of these worth if
I damage it about 3,000 actually you
know in the world of Cinema lenses not
that bad I mean I'm not going to but oh my oh my God just in
case nice the rest of the pretty much boil
down to ease of deployment since companies like Clarks operate out of
travel cases like these they roll up to a show or an event they unpack in a
matter of hours they expect everything to run perfectly and they need to pack
it all the way again in a matter of hours so at the front of this unit we've
got what Epson calls their pixeline camera system this allows the unit
assuming all of the projectors have it unfortunately we won't be using it today
to take a picture of the wall compensate
for any Oddities or overlaps and help you align all of your projectors into a
giant video wall pretty much automatically and coming around to the
back look at those professional grade inputs I mean come on you can't have an
HDMI cable just coming unplugged in the
middle of a show unacceptable that's why we've got BNC and this particular unit
has support for both control 4 which is
present on the ls2000 and Crestron which is a home automation system but
realistically is so baller that it's the kind of thing that you would find at
stadiums and houses of worship and things like that but enough Yik Yak you
guys want to see it in action right to make the deployment a little bit simpler
well at least in some ways we grabbed a few of the scissor lifts that they
happened to already have here on the construction
site and we strapped our three
projectors for the massive video wall that we're building to the railings
which I guess makes sense the reason I have to move it is because in order for
us to have an Apples to Apples comparison of brightness we're going to
have to put this a lot closer to the wall than the LS1 12000 because of the
short throw lens you're going to have to move back
Adam he's back atam the uh less
impressive superhero give that blue scissor lift a little kiss uh oh no not
quite we're good I felt like I moved a lot but this is still enormous uh we can
zoom out a little bit but Adam you're going to have to move really far away in
order to get anywhere near the same
size can we hit the lights and that my
friends is the difference between a 2700 Len projector just great for your home
theater you know 120 150 in screen and a
12,000 Lumen display that uh did I
mention consumes 1,700 Watts meaning
each of these requires its own power circuit what you're looking at right now
is about give or take a 40t screen and
it still looks awesome the consumer
version looks like a toy in comparison do you want to compare white to white
that's white that's now all I need is to fix my
alignment and a game controller oh my
God it looks like a giant TV wait does
this not support HDR no do you see anything about HDR
support on the site I can't find anything with HDR well we'll just have to try to enjoy
it without HDR I guess what a downer you
know I think I'd probably get over it
what's one of these worth 15,000 $15,000
I think we can use the consumer one it'll just be smaller at the
land man that's sick but if one's cool
then three must be better there it is guys we're about to show you
guys how we're doing it but first we need to talk about our sponsor co-pilot
Adam's on a little hike over there so while he approaches I'll talk about what
it is you get a fully featured workout app with video instructions and exercise
descriptions you also get access to your own personal trainer because one of the
hardest parts of sticking to your fitness plan is accountability it is so
easy to ignore an app notification and having a real person looking out for you
can make a huge difference I was a Bonafide gym rat during the pandemic and
I struggled with getting back into the gym in the recent years but my co-pilot coach Nate has brought extra fun and
variety to my workouts that make me want to get back into the gym and even helps
me by adjusting my workouts for times when I'm traveling so I can still make
progress even when I don't have access to my usual gym the app allows me to
sync my health data and my workout data from other apps to give me and my coach
a fuller picture of my health and my progress and the beauty is I get to
think as much or as little about my workouts as I want I can discuss changes
with my programming with my coach or I can just show up Pump iron and Trust
trust that my workout will be designed to help me achieve my goals in fact there's evidence that people who have
access to a personal trainer have improved training outcomes versus those that are going it alone with a
compatible Smartwatch you can use motion tracking to analyze your sets form and
pacing with live feedback and this comes at a price that
is all way way lower than your typical personal trainer and if you don't gel
well with your coach you can always switch to a new one and find somebody who fits your needs and unlike many gyms
there's no hidden cancellation fees or desperate sales people trying to get you to upgrade your membership how long have
you been using it uh like 3 months now oh cool okay yeah so you can check out
co-pilot at the link in the video description once you've got all three projectors in place what is the first
step in your process yeah so the first thing we do is we get them all aligned
by eyeball so we just look at them and we use the lens shift built into the
projectors to get them all looking roughly the same huh I mean these two
look pretty darn good you've done this before yeah once or twice with that out
of the way what can you tell me about the little black box that we've got all
three of them linked into here uh the black magic box is the data path FX4
it's a video wall controller so basically what you can do is take one
input source whether it's a laptop or a game console or whatever you want it to
be and split it amongst a bunch of different screens or projectors and does
this support the same kind of blending that we did with our commercial Quadro
output that we used last time we did something like this or better it's a
little bit better uh basically what it does is it offloads that from the PC so
you're taking that and you're putting it on a Standalone piece of Hardware got it
but latency latency is awesome couple of
milliseconds at best I guess we'll find out I guess we will the next thing we're
doing is getting all of the projectors focused then it's time to put up the
grid a test pattern that helps them check their focus and check and refine
the alignment between the three projectors oh my gosh that's so cool
that's a couch for scale take that maxl ad do you see how small his TV was I
mean look if we used Weird Al's song
would he forgive us I mean he's a pretty chill guy we made Frank's 2000 in
TV please don't sue
us it is so far beyond the edges of my
peripheral vision so where's the
middle but we're not ready to game yet the next step is Corner adjustment so
Clarks has finished up this side and you can see actually man that is that is
bang on we've got a straight line right across the floor right into that corner
straight up to the top and straight over there and now they're going to go
projector by projector and try to align them with the first one you can't
imagine something like this you can look at a big blank wall and you can kind of
go yeah that would be cool but oh my God
while these gentle folk finish aligning the last one I thought I'd take my TV
for a walk just want to kind of see how
long it takes to make it all the way from one Edge to the other good gravy I
haven't even made it past one projector yet we're going to get there though hey
Adam how's it going setting up the audio
what it it's great good stuff you look comfortable Oh I'm great yeah I love
this inflatable couch I'm on projector number two
now almost at number
three yep I'm going to be there really
soon oh man I'm not going to need a personal
trainer after all sorry sponsor okay trying one come on come on come on come
on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come
on behold the world's widest start
menu the search still sucks okay who did
that world record that's not a world
record it's a Linus world record behold the much smaller
troubleshooting display just like that and now we have
our one two and three projectors okay oh
oh that's something wait for it wait for it wait for
it yes cease
waiting new plan forget the video wall
controller we're going back to Envy surround the diagonal is 173 ft which
wait what yeah it doesn't make any sense it's only 3 ft longer than the width
yeah cuz it's such a acute diagonal even
only 3 ft that's it we we've tried it on multiple different calculators that's
what checks out 32 ft tall 170 ft wide
did we let down Frank that's 276 in
yeah Frank still got it here we freaking
go
let's go Dan's got it no Dan Dan you do
the honors I don't think we've ever actually seen Dan game your pad sir
thank you all right spider solitire oh
come on do we have
sound I don't know if this website has sound Dan tried to change the
volume hold on let me go let me go tell
you what it's at oh it's working why am I even here
then yeah I think I can hear every bass note about six
times I been to some weird parties but
this is definitely the weirdest I'm kidding I haven't been to any parties
but it's weird oh my God we can see the
whole level hold on wait wait wait wait wait wait no go back go back go back all
right let's go Boys I Get Wrecked you
suck you're dead already what are you guys even
doing this is not like the original oh
my
God this is extremely the
mouse the mouse is awful skill
issue I could just sit and watch a complete novice play video games on this
you know how I know I'm just kidding Dan you're doing
great I'm amazed at how the like the pillars just have disappeared for me oh
yeah they don't even matter like it's just we're staring directly at one it's
so immersive though okay Dan let's see how well you can drive there is
definitely going to be some Floatplane extras from this video so LMG Dogg flat
plane I'll see you guys over there it's about to
happen
woo oh man that is wild look I've seen a
lot of really cool Tech I have never seen this okay i' I've
seen displays like this but they're always Out Of Reach at the top of buildings or whatever I don't actually
get to game on them oh my God you could
actually drive like this though you can see so much of the road in front of you
car is bigger than an actual car that's hilarious look at the scenery though
yeah like it's freaking Scenic it's like looking out a massive window it's just
like it's like it expands your horizons man yeah fors of Horizons five I'm going
to race this loading
bar oh shoot who wins now humans or machines
this is by far the most immersive
experience I've had in flight
simulator it freaking feels like you're being dragged on a Shute behind the
plane
yeah oh God oh God no not the people no not
there Dan oh my God no no no no no at
least at least he biffed in the who so
back to the title is it the world's biggest
TV if high sense can call theirs a laser
TV then I say we're in the clear there did we build
it with help kind of but do those
details really matter we have it we
gamed on it and it was so freaking cool
