Spotlight 2015 video objects plugin

[Mike Wright]

Just picked up, after a few embarrassing rigs, that the 10' wide 16:9 aperture screen in the projection objects is 5'9" x 10'. This is not a 16:9 ratio, my understanding is that the correct height for 10' width is 1715mm (5'7.5")

I've not been through the rest of the screen sizes to check their ratios

Sorry to have caused you issues. You are absolutely right; 120"x67.5" is the correct measurement - and, easy enough to add in future versions. The sizes listed all came from screen manufacturer's spec. pages and 120"x59" is what one had listed under 16:9...though technically wrong. Until this gets updated, try using the "16:9 custom dimensions" Screen Aspect option.

Thanks Andrew

That's what I've been doing. Maybe the object info browser could show a ratio calculated form the measurements?

Not that I've ran into issues with the plugin, but I always verify VW calculations with the PJ manufacturers lens calc. or an app that I have.

You might say... measure twice, rig once.

If you choose the "rect. all custom dimensions" "Screen Aspect" option, the calculated aspect is displayed.
