Q. What is the floor space occupied by the setup ?

A. In a typical setup with a 2m screen the footprint would be 3m x 4m OR 4m x 4m depending on the size of truss used.

Q. What is the height of the structure ?

A. To allow people to walk through the screen comfortably without any obstruction from the unit, the screen would be normally set up with a minimum height of 2.5m from the floor. This will give a rigged height including trussing of approx. 3.5m from the floor.

Q. What is the size of the actual fog screen?

A. The Fog Screen that shall be available with us now will be 2m in width.The Height shall be from the start of the unit to 10' below.

Q. What is the size of the projection surface?

A. The projection surface can extend to entire width of the screen which is 2m(6.6 feet). However the height of the projection surface will depend upon the aspect ratio of the videos/ images. So if the aspect ratio maintained is 4:3 then the height shall be about 4.9 feet for a width of 6.6 feet. It is also best to project within a height of about 5' to 6'.

Q. Can regular short-throw projectors be used or is there a specified type?

A. All Regular rear projections are fine. The only requirement is lumens - the more the better. It is recommended to use a projector of at least 7000 ANSI lumens, however, more may be required if the ambient light is too high. A dark background behind the projector is also recommended. It is also recommended that the projectors have good key-stoning properties since they shall be mounted at an angle with respect to the projection center of the screen.

Q. Where is the projector placed? Is the holder of the projector part of the setup equipment?

A. Usually the projector will be hung from the truss at a higher position than the screen so that the projector is pointing down at a small angle. This is to ensure that people do not stare into the bulb of the projector when going through the screen. The projector holder will be part of the setup equipment.

Q. What are the other setup equipments like water tank/power/any other machinery or equipment are required?

A. We need to have a water source from where we could re-fill the water at regular intervals. For installations which last a very long period of time (more than 12 hours of running) it is recommended that the water source is directly connected to the water pump of the screen. We shall require a normal 220 V power supply for the screen and the control units. Then of-course a projector and a system to drive the projector.

Q. How long can it remain on for?

A. The FogScreen can keep running indefinitely. There are no limitations.

Q. Are there any temperature or other ambient conditions specified?

A. Operational temperature range is 5degC to 40degC. We also need to ensure the absence of strong air currents created by A/C systems, proximity to outdoor exits, or large pressure differentials in entrance ways.

Q. What is the time taken for setup and dismantle?

A. Setup time including building a truss is usually in the region of 3 - 4 hours. Dismantling time is usually somewhat faster and would take between 1 and 2 hours typically.

Q. What about the transportation of the equipment and the setup?

A. We will take care of the transportation of the equipment to the site and its setup.
