Life Size Stand Up for Home Theater

My son recently had a "Lord of the Rings" birthday party where he invited a bunch of friends over to watch the Fellowship of the Ring. We also had "Games of Skill" which included crossbow and archery and well as sword games. I thought it might be neat to theme the room a bit for the event so I ordered a full size cardboard stand up from elifesize.com. I really like the 3d aspect it brings to the theater sitting in the corner. They offer hundreds of different individuals from various movies.

Live Video Feed

I had an oppurtunity to set up a live video feed between multiple venues for an upcoming guest speaker at our church recently. This gave me a chance to look at video/audio baluns as I knew the run would be about 1000 feet from one location to another. I had CAT5 pulled between locations with RJ45 connectors installed. I decided to go with composite baluns to convert over from CAT5 as the need was only for a good camcorder type feed. Set up a camcorder on one end and a projector and screen on another. Connected the audio into the sound board on one end and speakers on the other. Everything worked great!
