I BUILT the Worlds Biggest Gaming TV

What if we could have a screen the size of the entire wall? That looks amazing Okay, okay Last time we were here at the Land Gaming Center slash Badminton Hall We tried to make the biggest possible gaming display on this 190 foot white wall But we ran into a limitation Our weak sauce consumer projector with its fixed lens Would have me traveling through the wall in order to get the image big enough Not to mention it's pretty damn So there was only one thing to do We brought in the big guns So with a little help from our friends at Clark's Audiovisual We are going to be building the largest possible gaming display I'm talking something worthy of Weird Al Yankovic Over 2,000 inches diagonally From all the way over there to the very far end It's gonna be a little tricky I want to quickly shout out Copilot who sponsored this video More on those guys later But first, let's take a look at the beast This is the Epson Pro-L 1505UH A commercial grade projector that makes the LS12000 look like an absolute toy Fundamentally, they're based on very similar technology It uses- Oh my god Hey Artie, give me a hand Okay It uses a 3-chip laser projection system Giving it amazing contrast and in this one's case Spectacular brightness and color performance This thing is rated to output 12,000 lumens And that is in color You can kind of cheat your peak brightness rating if it's just white But they didn't It weighs over 50 pounds But when you consider the performance It's actually not that much bigger than a home cinema projector And it's got some major benefits for an application like this The biggest one is support for interchangeable lenses This right here is an Epson short throw monster That is able to achieve a 0.8 throw ratio Meaning that we could get a 100 foot wide image Being only 80 feet away from the wall That, because there's another wall in the way Was incredibly important for our application Because otherwise, we'd have to have this thing Somewhere outside of the building over there Shining through a window Uh, what's one of these worth if I damage it? About 3,000 Actually, you know In the world of cinema lenses I mean, I'm not going to but Oh my, oh my god Just in case Nice The rest of them pretty much boil down to ease of deployment Since companies like Clark's operate out of travel cases like these They roll up to a show or an event They unpack in a matter of hours They expect everything to run perfectly And they need to pack it all the way again in a matter of hours So at the front of this unit We've got what Epson calls their Pixeline camera system This allows the unit Assuming all of the projectors have it Unfortunately, we won't be using it today To take a picture of the wall Compensate for any oddities or overlaps And help you align all of your projectors Into a giant video wall Pretty much automagically And coming around to the back Look at those professional grade inputs I mean, come on You can't have an HDMI cable just Coming unplugged in the middle of a show Unacceptable That's why we've got BNC And this particular unit has support for both Control 4, which is present on the LS12000 And Crestron, which is a home automation system But realistically is so baller That it's the kind of thing that you would find at Stadiums and houses of worship And things like that But enough yik-yak You guys want to see it in action, right? To make the deployment a little bit simpler Well, at least in some ways We grabbed a few of the scissor lifts That they happen to only have here On the construction site And we strapped our three projectors For the massive video wall that we're building To the railings Which I guess makes sense The reason I have to move it Is because in order for us to have an Apples to apples comparison of brightness We're going to have to put this a lot closer To the wall than the LS12000 Because of the short throw lens You're going to have to move back, Adam He's back, Adam The less impressive superhero Give that blue scissor lift a little kiss Oh no, not quite, we're good I felt like I moved a lot But this is still enormous We can zoom out a little bit But Adam, you're going to have to move really far away In order to get anywhere near the same size Can we hit the lights? And that, my friends Is the difference between a 2700 lumen projector Which is great for your home theater You know, 120, 150 inch screen And a 12000 lumen display That, did I mention Consumes 1700 watts Meaning each of these requires its own power circuit What you're looking at right now Is about, give or take A 40 foot screen And it still looks awesome The consumer version looks like a toy in comparison Do you want to compare white to white? That's white That's... Now all I need is to fix my alignment And a game controller Oh my god It looks like a giant TV Wait, does this not support HDR? No? Do you see anything about HDR support on this thing? I can't find anything with HDR Well, we'll just have to try to enjoy it without HDR, I guess What a downer You know, I think I'd probably get over it What's one of these worth? $15,000 I think we can use the consumer one It'll just be smaller at the lab Weeeee Man, that's sick But, if one's cool Then three must be better There it is guys We're about to show you guys how we're doing it But first we need to talk about our sponsor, Copilot Adam's on a little hike over there So, while he approaches I'll talk about what it is You get a fully featured workout app With video instructions and exercise descriptions You also get access to your own personal trainer Because one of the hardest parts of sticking to your fitness plan Is accountability It is so easy to ignore an app notification And having a real person looking out for you Can make a huge difference I was a bonafide gym rat during the pandemic And I struggled with getting back into the gym in the recent years But my Copilot coach, Nate Has brought extra fun and variety to my workouts That make me want to get back into the gym And even helps me by adjusting my workouts for times when I'm traveling So, I can still make progress Even when I don't have access to my usual gym The app allows me to sync my health data And my workout data from other apps To give me and my coach a fuller picture of my health and my progress And the beauty is I get to think as much or as little about my workouts as I want I can discuss changes with my programming With my coach Or I can just show up, pump iron And trust that my workout will be designed to help me achieve my goals In fact, there's evidence that people who have access to a personal trainer Have improved training outcomes versus those that are going it alone With a compatible smartwatch You can also use motion tracking to analyze your sets, form, and pacing With live feedback And this comes at a price that is all way, way lower than your typical personal trainer And if you don't gel well with your coach You can always switch to a new one and find somebody who fits your needs And unlike many gyms, there's no hidden cancellation fees Or desperate salespeople trying to get you to upgrade your membership How long have you been using it? Like three months now Oh, cool, okay So you can check out Copilot at the link in the video description Once you've got all three projectors in place What is the first step in your process? Yeah, so the first thing we do is we get them all aligned by eyeball So we just look at them and we use the lens shift built into the projectors To get them all looking roughly the same Huh, I mean, these two look pretty darn good You've done this before Yeah, once or twice With that out of the way, what can you tell me about the little black box That we've got all three of them linked into here? Ah, the black magic box is the Datapath FX4 It's a video wall controller Basically, what you can do is take one input source Whether it's a laptop or a game console or whatever you want it to be And split it amongst a bunch of different screens or projectors And does this support the same kind of blending that we did With our commercial Quadro output that we used last time we did something like this? Or better? It's a little bit better Basically what it does is it offloads that from the PC So you're taking that and you're putting it on a standalone piece of hardware Got it But latency? Latency is awesome Really? A couple of milliseconds at best I guess we'll find out I guess we will The next thing we're doing is getting all of the projectors focused Then it's time to put up the grid A test pattern that helps them check their focus And check and refine the alignment between the three projectors Oh my gosh, that's so cool! That's a couch for scale Take that, Maxell ad Did you see how small his TV was? I mean, look, if we used Weird Al's song Would he forgive us? I mean, he's a pretty chill guy We made Frank's 2000 inch TV Please don't sue us It is so far beyond the edges of my peripheral vision So where's the middle? But we're not ready to game yet The next step is corner adjustment So, Clarks has finished up this side And you can see, actually, man, that is That is bang on We've got a straight line Right across the floor Right into that corner Straight up to the top And straight over there And now they're gonna go Projector by projector And try to align them with the first one You can't imagine something like this You can look at a big blank wall And you can kind of go That would be cool But Oh my god While these gentle folk finish aligning the last one I thought I'd take my TV for a walk Just want to kind of see How long it takes To make it all the way from one edge to the other Good gravy I haven't even made it past one projector yet We're gonna get there though Hey Adam, how's it going? Setting up the audio? What? It's great Good stuff, you look comfortable Oh, I'm great Yeah, I love this inflatable couch I'm on projector number two now Almost at number three Yup I'm gonna be there really soon Oh man I'm not gonna need a personal trainer after all Sorry sponsor Okay, trying one Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Hahahahaha Behold! The world's widest start menu! The search still sucks! Okay, who did that? World record! That's not a world record! It's a Linus world record Behold! The much smaller troubleshooting display Just like that And now we have our one, two, and three projectors Okay Oh, oh, that's something Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it! Yes! Cease waiting! New plan Forget the video wall controller We're going back to NVSurround The diagonal is 173 feet Wait, what? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense It's only three feet longer than the width? Yeah Because it's such a Acute Diagonal Even only three feet, that's it? We've tried it on multiple different calculators That's what it checks out 32 feet tall, 170 feet wide Did we let down Frank? That's 2,076 inches Frank still got it Here we freaking go Yeah! Let's go!

I don't know if this website has sound Dan tried to change the volumes Hold on, let me go Let me go tell you what it's at Oh, it's working Why am I even here then? Yeah, I think I can hear every bass note about six times I've been to some weird parties But this is definitely the weirdest I'm kidding, I haven't been to any parties But it's weird Oh my god We can see the whole level Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait Don't go back, go back, go back Alright, let's go, boys! Ha ha, get wrecked, you suck! You're dead already? What are you guys even doing? This is not like the original Oh my god The mouse is awful Skill issue I could just sit and watch a complete novice play video games on this You know how I know?

Oh man, that is wild Look, I've seen a lot of really cool tech I have never seen this Okay, I've seen displays like this But they're always out of reach at the top of buildings or whatever I don't actually get to game on them Oh my god You could actually drive like this though You can see so much of the road in front of you The car is bigger than an actual car That's hilarious Look at the scenery though Yeah Like it's freaking scenic It's like looking out a massive window It's just like It expands your horizons, man Yeah, Forts of Horizons 5 I'm going to race this loading bar Ha ha ha ha Oh shoot! Who wins now, humans or machines? This is by far the most immersive experience I've had in Flight Simulator It freaking feels like you're being dragged on a chute behind the plane Yeah Oh god, oh god No, not the people No, not there, Dan Oh my god, no, no, no No, no, no At least he biffed it in the... Whoa! So back to the title Is it the world's biggest TV? If Hisense can call theirs a laser TV Then I say we're in the clear there Did we build it? With help? Kind of?
