Halloween Video Switch

1165 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  DeltaGirl
Hi,
I am working on virtual halloween window decorations, similar to AtmosFX. I am using a projector to project on a piece of scrim on a window. Is there any way I could use a pressure or motion sensor switch to trigger the video to change to a different video. When someone triggers the switch, it plays a different video. I've been thinking about wiring a switch to a wireless a/b switch to trigger it. Is there any better way to do this? Is it also possible to fade the video when the switch is triggered?


Thanks :)

Cheapest would probably be to hack either the buttons on remote control or buttons on the DVD player. Hi Rez Designs has a really nice digital media player device that is capable of triggering video and works really well.

Thanks for the Ideas!
I use these for my video projects when I need to trigger multiple video files. http://www.frightprops.com/video-vi...remium-hd-triggerable-video-player-33774.html

I watched this before and tracked it down for your question about triggering video. This isn't a cheap idea, but it looks very effective.

And here's another idea that uses a less expensive Roku.
