I'm trying to figure out if there are any projectors out there that let you load in a custom image overlay, whether on internal memory, or via a USB stick or SD card. I'm working on a classroom display project that requires converting the VGA source signal to a round output. Physically cropping the light output from the projector is not possible (I've tried and it's too soft) so I'm looking for a way to digitally alter the source signal and crop/mask anything outside of the center circle. I've got the following mask image that I can use with chroma keying, but I'm not aware of any current projectors on the market that let you load-in a custom image file to overlay on your source. (I swear that I had a projector that could do this many years ago, but I can't remember what model it was, and my searching isn't yielding any results.)

PS: I am aware of ONE external processor that can do this (the TV One 1T-CT-750) but I was really hoping to save the $1,000 and put that into a projector that's capable of hosing and chroma keying an overlay image.
