Hi Can, Thanks, but I'm unsure if that specifically is all that I need; while a transformer would allow the projector to actually power, that doesn't solve the frequency issue. US is 60 hz, and Europe is 50 hz; according to one person<http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/transformers-phase-converters-vfd/single-phase-frequency-converters-50-60-hz-226230/>, showing something at 24 fps would actually be more like 20 fps. That being said, I did find a thread<http://www.filmshooting.com/scripts/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21410>that says that the alteration could be done... the Pageant doesn't have a 50/60 thing, it's straight 60 hz based on the manual... I don't know, I'm going to lug it anyway... If anybody has any recommendations regarding alterations, do let me know...
