          @scooter Thank you Jim. I’ve ordered my IR now but not sure about how to build a frame. Did you purcase the frame material from a website online that you could share? Thanks again in advance, very much appreciated for all of your help.

            Hi Scooter, I hope you’re well.

            I haveing a hard time trying to find the material to build a frame. I would like to build a frame like this one as shown here: https://www.photobooths.co.uk/product/white-silver-magic-mirror-frame/ however can’t find the material anywhere online! It is a very wide frame, approx. 90mm width (very much wider than normal photo frames).

            Any idea where I can get a length of this material to make into a frame?

            Any help massively appreciated!!

            Thanks,

            Martin.

              Looks great scooter!

              Did you use the Pilkington 6mm MirroView mirror or 6mm Two-Way Mirror?

              Also is it possible to mount the camera behind the mirror?

              Cheers!

                @scooter is there anyway you can take pictures / close ups of the LED strip and frame. I just ordered my glass and IR frame curious how you put yours together.

                also how do you secure the glass and IR fram in the back of the picture frame. thanks

                          @cyberphox that awersome!!! I am loving it!
                          My i ask you about the front? I ordered 60’’ mirror view 70/25 , i have 49’’ smart tv at home. But my biggest concern is the front. IR screen needs to go on the top of the mirror? Its only a frame? a foil? or a glass put inside IR frame place on the top of the mirror?
                          I am really confused.
                          Thanks

                              @cyberphox thank you, but to make it extra clear. IR frame with the glass or witout a glass?
                              If with the glass, what type and thickness of the glass can go there?
                              any chance you can provide any link to buy it?

                                @scatha20 My IR frame did not come with glass. It just came with a tube and I laid it on top the mirror

                                      @cyberphox not yet. I found them really expensive. Looking for alternatives. did you buy your software?
                                      So far I ordered two way mirror and IR frame. And I drawn the construction scheme for photobooth.
                                      I will be buying camera soon and dnp printer.

                                        @scatha20 Yes I am using Darkroom Booth. It’s very nice and pretty easy to use. Easy to add animations and templates

                                          @cyberphox i couldn’t find any promo video for this product, but when i went to their website price is looking good :) may i as you what camera are you using? and what type of printer?
                                          And one more thing, i was reading online some comments, does IR frame has to be adjusted? or it will work with ant type of smart tv?

                                            @scatha20 I’m using a Canon t6. Printer is an DS-RX1HS.
                                            IR frame you calibrate in Windows
