My turn (finally). The thread title is a bit misleading, because the masking's not motorized just yet, but as soon as I stick in the Add-a-Motor it should be good to go. Didn't know if I could update the thread title later. Otherwise, here's the details with pics... The room before we moved in: First things first - my mostly DIY rack. I used MA rack rails and shelves, ...

I went with the Infocus 7210 for the projector, and the HTB anamorphic lens. I've been thrilled with both... Here they are mounted: I planned (still plan?) to paint the board white to blend in with the ceiling, but wanted to test it out first to make sure everything was going to work alright before going through the trouble. It ended up being such a painful combination of ...

I knew I absolutely wanted side masking, and I wanted to do everything I could to make it remote controllable, but as this was mostly as DIY project, I couldn't afford a multi-thousand dollar commercial option. I stared out with a vague notion that I would use similar tools as what Gary used in his thread, but he doesn't seem to be around to respond to inquiries in that thread anymore, ...

Note that this still isn't 100% complete. There are a few trim details that I want to add, but they are purely cosmedic. Otherwise, everything is 100% working. Also, the 2.4:1 image is obviously a composite so that I could show the screen with an image that wasn't washed out from the flash... First I wrapped 3" trim in black velvet. A few pics of that: And one more that ...

Very nice job. It appears that you didn't add do any acoustical treatment behind the screen wall - have you noticed any tradeoffs in audio quality?

Hey Don, Are there charts on the Internet that show conversion between "oz/in" to "ft/lb" & "g/cm" torque #s ? Since the motor mfg's often give their torque measurements in different ways, it is confusing trying to compare one motor to another between differnt brands. Popechild. I was wondering if you could loosen up the pre tension on the rollers a bit, to see if ...

Popechild, Do you have a link to the fellow "Gary" that you mentioned early to his masking build ? I would like to see his approach. Thanks.

I believe the rolls come in something like 63" width, which was perfect for me because my height is pretty close to 60", so that gave me another inch or so on the top and bottom to staple into, and I didn't have to cut it down on that dimension at all. I think I bought either 12 or 13 feet of the roll, and used 11.5 or so of it. I'm having trouble remembering the exact dimensions off the top of my head since I...

Popechild....what did you end up using as your rod between your traverse rods on each side. It looks like wood but what size/kind worked for you? Ron

A better way of wording what I wanted was how did you figure and draw your radius, but you answered it. Thanks, Chad

Nice job! If you were sitting closer to the screen do you think the AT perforations would be a distraction? I'm contemplating a large screen like this but my 1st row would be closer than yours. Thanks for the detailed post! Paul
