Looking to get started but don't know what hardware to get? Well point you in the right direction!

Hardware needed

  1. A Projector
  2. A Media Player
  3. A Projector Enclosure (optional)

1. Projector

 Before we get to the projectors we recommend, it is important to know how deep your yard is and how wide your house is. Once your get those numbers down then we can look at the throw ratio. So for example if a short throw projector has a throw ratio of .5:1, that means for every 6 inches of distance the projector is set back, the video/image will be 1 foot wide on the house. That is the shortest throw projector we recommend below. If the depth of your yard still isn't deep enough, maybe only getting a portion of your house is what you'll have to settle with.

2. Media Player

There are many options for media players and luckily are pretty cheap now days.


Once we send the fitted video to you via email, put it on a USB stick and plug it into the media player. It should simply auto play the video and loop it over and over.
