Spyder3TV and rear DLP Projectors

Spyder3TV and rear DLP Projectors

2009-04-06 by firesbane6990

Is there enough of a difference between a real projector being used for rear projection onto a screen and a DLP monitor as far as using the Spyder3TV to calibrate?  My church has two projectors that I would like to calibrate and was looking to purchase this product.

If you would like to calibrate projection systems that are NOT  
connected to a computer, but are being driven by a videostream, then  
you don't have a lot of options for hardware calibration, and  
Soyder3TV would certainly be what I'd use... even if the usage falls  
kind of between front projection and DLP.

Would I meter on the visible side of the screen that end users see to get the final display, or go into the projection room and meter the output of the projector right before the screen?

The projectors run video from cameras, but also has a computer connection for lyrics that is controlled by a video switch. So I can do either computer or video only.

I'd say meter on the user side, using the DVD in video mode.
