Does anybody know any horizontal keystone recalibration software? I'm poking around since I got an overhead projector on Black Friday and I'd like to put it in the corner of a room rather than straight overhead as the room is just situated better that way. I know there are some losses with picture quality, but I'm not really worried about that. TIA.

No, I do not -but guess you could try @ Keystone Software Development > Software Development / Customisation Services. Good luck.

Several of the pico projectors have keystone translation as a 'built-in' feature. They most likely sub-contracted the software development. Perhaps that might be a line of inquiry. This is not a recommendation—I've never used it, and you might not even own a Mac—but a really quick web search came up with this: http://www.resolume.com/avenue/The results were also cluttered with search plugins, language translators, and encryption key database products, but if I were to spend a little more time refining the search (VJ applications look to be the best bet), I'm sure I would find a similar plugin to the video software of your choice that could do what you want at playback without having to re-render all your files.

Yeah, it's hard to do a search for keystone correction without getting an awful lot of miscellaneous other stuff. Lots of on-line documentation or ads for projectors, TVs, etc. Anyway, thanks for the link. I'll have a look at that one too.

Keystone bundles have served well.
Off to Singapore for a spell!

I'm curious to know if you ever found anything suitable.

I'm curious to know if you ever found anything suitable. Nope. Fruitless. I found a few software packages that claimed to do horizontal keystone correction, but they were lacking in at least some way or another. One had to "process" a video through a converter, or it was some sort of "automatic" correction that wasn't really based on anything that a user could input, or the correction wasn't horizontal at all. I wasn't able to find anything that was "real time" in a video player or Windows display software. I had planned for a while to I could rig up a sort of mirror system, but that turned out to be more trouble than it's worth. Instead, I am bouncing the projection off a single wall with a mirror, but that's directly back at the wall behind the projector, so only vertical keystone correction is required. It does give another 15-18" on the picture, though. Still, it'd be nice to just put it in the corner and get another 2-3 feet.
