I know of a 6 screen that has X-BOX HALO2 on friday nights after midnite til 3am .. with paid admits. Plus, getting permission from Microsoft to do this setup.

4 X-Box units tied together via network cable through a switch, four digital projectors-one per each house. Uses 4 controllers per house. Sound is piped in via cable to an A/B switch to the NonSync inputs of the processors so one can enjoy the sound from behind the screens (and using ground loop isolators on the sound inputs..)

quite impressive and quite the fun to play ... - Monte

I've heard the Xbox 360 can be plugged directly into the Christie CP2000's. There is no need for an external processor. Anyone else know about this?

Also, we have a Cine-IPM 2K sitting here at the theatre. It will be installed as soon as our Christie tech is free. Hopefully, this is only a couple weeks away. I don't have a Wii yet. But that would give me all the more motivation to track one down.

Not just the 360. I hear the PS3 has the same output as well.

Pffft. Back in my day we used S-video. And that's way better than any of these newfangled connections you kiddies have these days!

Do these have a DVI output? If not, you need a converter. The Texas Instruments video engine does not accept any kind of analog input. If you have a DVI output, you can more or less just plug it in. You may have to make a new format though, which is easy if you know how the setup works...and if you know the password for the touch panel.

When I worked at planet hollywoods screening room in Sydney, hooking up the video games was one of the first things I did [thumbsup] That was in the days of tube barco's and line quadrupelers
