if you watched our recent review of dell's ultra short throw laser projector
the s718 ql known affectionately around
the office as kylo ren then you already know that it's a badass 4k HDR projector
with insane brightness that works just about anywhere
but what you didn't know is that we actually have not one
not even two but three kylo ren's and today we're
gonna do something big with them
something big and wide
okay so first thing we need aside from projectors is a rig powerful enough to
run three 4k displays in games at once so
what we're using is three quadro p5000
gpus then we needed a platform that
could not only support all three of these quadros but that would also have
space for an additional expansion card
so we're using an x99 ews from ASUS a
core i7 6900k eight core processor with
a hundred and twenty eight gigs of g skill tridency RGB RAM because
why not and then because our goal isn't
to display the same image from three projectors no no we want to make one big
image we need an NVIDIA sync 2 expansion
card this is the same one from our 16k
gaming build which you can check out right over there
powering the whole thing we've got a platymax df platinum 1200 watt power
supply with sleeve cables right out of the box we've got an equal lens tempered
glass case although the glass is off right now so i can point at all this
stuff with high density soundproofing insulation in the front top and side
we're using a lick max 2 240 millimeter aio cooler that can handle up to a 350
watt processor and we're using lipa chopper advanced led fans all courtesy
of enermax who get a big shout out for sponsoring this video
so then we've got three projectors
we've got a pc to power them now's the big reveal
we are going on a little field trip outside where
we're going to be creating one gigantic
image on the side of our neighbor's
building hey i think i solved the network problem
uh we had a network cable running over to the laser cutter uh so i threw a
switch here i think for i think we're actually pretty close to the 100 meter
limit though for Ethernet on that subject
i think we've got every extension cord in the entire building
daisy chained together we got enough power out here because we're running
three 5 000 lumen projectors projectors it's
cold sorry projectors so yeah they're laser they're efficient
but still so there are a number of challenges that
we have to address before we're going to be able to game on this
number one is that all these projectors
need to be level off the ground so the innovative strategy that we've come up
with is a combination of these rocks
these rubber papers and then we got some printer paper to
kind of do the fine adjustments at the end problem number two that we have to solve
is that they all have to be exactly the same distance
away from the wall although what's cool is that they don't have to be the same
distance away from each other because the quadro sync card in our
configuration here allows us to fine tune NVIDIA's mosaic settings on a pixel
by pixel basis so that we can get them to butt up right against each other
problem number three is that each one of them has to be
keystone because we can make all the pixel by pixel
adjustments in the world that we want but ultimately
if you have some overlap at the top and a gap at the bottom the mouse movements
are going to be really unnatural problem number four
is that our office is right next to a train
obviously we couldn't do this inside because we wanted to project you know
like a freaking 80 inch diagonal screen that's been 80
foot 80 foot sorry imperial is not my strong point
okay i'm not quite sure how you intended these runs james one for beanbag maybe
one for beanbag do you want me to help you um help make a spot in it for you
okay
okay come on over here okay hold on let me put at least two or
three is it that heavy yeah it's pretty heavy oh okay okay so
we've got them good enough because we're not gonna stay
out here all night um now it's time to make some fine
adjustments so with monitors you use bezel correction to make it so that when
something passes over a bezel you don't end up with it misaligned like this
but now we want overlap i feel like i'm giving a presentation or something so
now we're just going to you know click the mouse over there you know it took a
lot of tweaking but once we got it working
it was absolutely freaking
sick like james you are actually
like 40 feet from the start menu right
here here you go bud guide me in
you're trying to try to get
one of the things we learned is that just because it's awesome
doesn't mean that it is actually usable
no there now there's trees in the way yeah we did not think this through
clearly some games operate better in 48 by nine aspect ratio than others do oh
then your weapons you lost like a couple hp on the jump oh look at the ammo i
have how much do i have
yeah that's quality is this resolution
maybe i don't know what any of these are can you see something that looks like
system so it turns out that just because you're using three 2500 graphics cards
that doesn't mean that you can actually game at 60fps
three times 4k is a lot of pixels you know how gta
tells you how much video memory you're gonna need for the settings you pick
it wanted 14 gigs so thanks for watching guys a huge shout
out to dell and enter max for allowing
us to uh come out here in the middle of the night
in the cold and have an utterly unique if not particularly um
advantageous gaming experience if you guys dislike this video you can hit that
button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed maybe consider checking out
where to buy the stuff we featured in the links in the video description while
you're down there you can check out our merch store which has you know what nope
i'm just not gonna do that right now uh cool shirts like the one on underneath
my sweater and also a link to our community forum which you should totally
