    Hi Denise
    Our client ordered the projector, but even Amazon has excellent projectors you could use. A high-speed HDMI cable is needed for from your source to the projector. Of course you need 120VAC power and a solid wood blocking is needed in the ceiling to fasten to securely. The projector specifications will detail, acceptable distances and image sizes. I hope that is helpful. Have a great day.
