How to choose to right projector

With such a large range of data & video projectors available, Inhouse Audio Visual recognise that choosing the right projector is not necessarily an easy task. There"s much technical jargon to sift through and a wide array of features and options to select from. In the hopes of making things easier for our customers you"ll find enough information here to, not only choose the right projector, but also educate yourself on and learn how to get the very best out of the product or you can quite simply call one of account managers and they will advise you on the right projector for your application.

NOTE: Your choice of projector will determine how important each of the following qualities are.

Projector Brightness

Consider how large the projected image must be in order for the audience to see it clearly, and whether you want to have the lights on during projection for attendees to take notes. These factors will help determine the level of brightness you require in a projector.

Projector brightness is measured in ANSI lumens. Generally, projectors run between 500 and 4000 lumens. If you are in a large conference room and you need an image bright enough to be seen from a distance without dimming the lights, you’ll need higher lumens since the light from your projector disperses over distance.

Here’s a guide:

500 – 1000 lumens: suitable for a 5" – 6" (152 cm – 180 cm) diagonal screen in a small room with about 5 – 10 people and no lighting

1000 – 1500 lumens: works well for a screen of about 6" – 8" (180 – 240cm) in medium-sized room with about 10 – 50 people and dim lighting

1500 – 2000 lumens: best for larger screens of about 8" – 25" (240 cm – 762 cm) in large meeting rooms with regular lighting and 50 – 100 people in the audience

Above 2000: good for 10" – 25" (305 cm – 762 cm) screens and larger rooms with audiences of over 100 people, but can also be used in various room sizes with bright lighting

Projector Resolution

Resolution is the clarity of the picture produced by your projector. The resolution you choose for your projector will depend on the computer you’ll be using. Your projector resolution must be equal to your monitor resolution. Most desktop computer monitors feature 800 x 600 pixel display or SVGA resolution. Laptops usually have 1024 x 768, (XGA resolution), or an even higher screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 (SXGA). If you want your meeting-room projector to offer guest laptop support you"ll need to buy a projector with XGA resolution, rather than SVGA.

Another consideration when deciding on the resolution of your projector is that if you plan to project AutoCAD, video or other information that requires highly detailed image projection, you will need a projector with SXGA resolution in order to have a clear image.

Projector Contrast ratio

This is a measure of a projectors blackest black and it"s whitest white. It basically equates to the brightness of the projector over any room light. There is much debate today over how much the contrast ratio actually affects projected image detail. Some say that anything over 400:1 is pretty irrelevant. However, a good rule of thumb is that if you plan on doing standard, still image presentations without too much detail, then anything over 300:1 really won"t make a difference in the overall scheme of things. But if you plan on presenting video presentations with great detail, consider going with a projector that offers a greater contrast ratio. At this time, there is no industry standard of measuring contrast ratio. So a manufacturer that claims a 400:1 contrast ratio may project nicer than another manufacturer claiming the same contrast ratio, given that all other specs are equal.

Popular Projector Brands

Some of the more popular hire projector manufacturers include NEC, Hitachi and Sony. For additional information on each manufacturers products please click on the each of the companies web Link, www.nec.com.au, www.sony.com.au, www.hitachi.com.au

Ceiling Mounts and Rigging for Projectors

Are you planning to mount your projector on the ceiling of your event? If so, be sure to specify that to the account manager, because you’ll require a projector with an inverted lens and also rigging capabilities.

Projector Weight

When hiring or purchasing a projector, make sure and choose one that is weighted according to your needs. If you plan on traveling a lot with the unit, choose a lighter projector that comes with a laptop style carry bag or ask about our hard case travel options

Demonstrations

Before you hire or buy, ask your account managers to give you a side-by-side demonstration of several projectors in your meeting room so you can compare them. Seeing a variety of projectors in action will help you decide which qualities are most important for your applications needs.

Considering this information before you hire or purchase a projector and will help you spend your money wisely and get better use out of the projector for your application

We also offer a fantastic range of projection screens, Tripod Screens professional projection screens all of our projector screen range are Compact , highly portable, sizes to meet all projection formats, assembly by our qualified technicians and suitable for both front and rear projection.

1. What are VGA, SVGA, XGA and SXGA?
   These are computer pixel resolutions. VGA is 640 x 480, SVGA is 800 x 600, XGA is 1024 x 768 and SXGA is 1280 x 1024.
   
   
2. What is DLP™ and DMD™?
   DLP™ stands for Digital Light Processing and DMD™ stands for Digital Micro-mirror Device.
   This system is based on thousands of tiny mirrors move to reflect the light and create the image on a projection screen. In electromagnetic it is called DMD™ and in optics it is called DLP™.
   
   
3. What is single panel LCD projector?
   This is one kind of LCD technology which projects light through a single amorphous liquid crystal panel containing red, green and blue pixels. It usually makes the projector more compact and lighter.
   
   
4. What is three-panel LCD projector?
   This is one kind of LCD technology which projects light through three poly-silicon LCD panels, one each of red, green and blue, to achieve the final projected image. These panels are the size of a quarter (There are three kinds in the market including 0.9", 1.3" and 1.8"). Since each panel displays only its primary color, better color saturation and a larger color palette can be achieved. Also, the three-panel design provides a much greater contrast ratio.
   
   
5. How does the projector connect to the computer?
   A VGA cable connects directly from the video port of a computer to the projector.
   
   
6. What is "ANSI"?
   " ANSI" stands for the American National Standards Institute.
   
   
7. What is a "Keystone Correction"?
   It is used to make the projected image square. Keystone correction is the device that will correct an image of the distortion (usually of a wide-top narrow-bottom effect) of a projected image caused by improper projector to screen angle.
   
   
8. Can I view my computer monitor and the projected image at the same time?
   Yes, you can view your image on the computer monitor as well as the projected image at the same time. This is called the monitor loop-through function or simultaneous viewing.
   
   
9. What is "Hertz" in reference to how the "Refresh rate" affects the displayed image?
   "Hertz" is a measure of frequency in cycles per second ("Hz" abbreviation for "Hertz"). The "Refresh rate" is the number of times per second during which a displayed image is regenerated, expressed in Hz. For example, a refresh rate is 60 Hz means that a displayed image is regenerated 60 times per second. The higher the refresh rate, the more stable (less flickering) the picture appears.
   
   
10. Why does the computer display adapter affect simultaneous viewing (being able to view your notebook display and the projector at the same time)? Or what component in the computer display adapter sends a signal that allows for simultaneous viewing?
    The display adapter is also called the graphics card and is known by many other names. Each display adapter has a different driver. Those drivers give directions to the signal transmitted to the external image, which decides on simultaneous viewing. Right now, only the notebook computers can do simultaneous viewing. The display adapter"s mother/control board controls that function along with maximum resolution, maximum refresh rate and the number of colors that can be sent to the monitor.
    
    
11. Why is the Mac pixel count and refresh rate sometimes different from the PC?
    Due to the different designs between the Mac and PC operating system, the pixel count and refresh rate will sometimes be slightly different.
    
    
12. What is the working distance of the remote mouse?
    The typical range is 80 feet. I am using a projector with my notebook computer and can"t get the projector to show my computer image. What"s wrong?
    You need to activate your notebook"s external monitor port. Usually you press one of the top row function keys. If necessary, consult your notebook"s manual.
    
    
13. I can"t get the projector to show my notebook computer image. What"s wrong?
    You need to activate your notebook"s external monitor port. Usually you press one of the top row function keys. If necessary, consult your notebook"s manual.
    
    
14. I am using a projector and the projected image doesn"t look very good. What"s wrong?
    Most new projectors have an automatic setup ensuring that the projector matches the computer resolution. However, in some cases the adaptation process may somewhat impair the quality of the image or fail to find the correct resolution. Check under Control Panel/Display/Settings. If you"re not sure what resolution your projector is, just change your display settings and see if the image improves. Although most projectors will project an image when the computer is set to a different resolution, the quality of the image usually deteriorates.
    
    
15. Will the projector connect to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers?
    Yes, most projectors come with cabling and adapters to connect to both IBM compatibles and Macintosh computers. Connecting to any projector requires your computer to have an external monitor port (most do).
    
    
16. Can I show high-resolution images on a low-resolution projector?
    Many LCD projectors can compress higher resolution computer displays to their native resolution. There are always compromises with this approach, and some of the finer detail and text in your higher-resolution images will break up with this technique. However, still photographs, animations and some technical illustrations will probably hold up well when reduced. The key is the degree of reduction. Images that are remapped from 1024 x 768 sources will not look as good at 640 x 480 as they will at 800 x 600.
    
    
17. Will my projector support the different video standards?
    Yes. The signal processing electronics in most of today"s LCD projectors are smart enough to recognize the North American NTSC standard, the PAL standard in Europe, Central/South America and Africa, and the French SECAM standard.
    
    
18. What kind of cables will I need to use with my LCD projector? What"s the purpose of the different video cables found in the box?
    For most presentations, you"ll need a computer display cable, video cable, audio connection, and AC power. Every LCD projector comes with at least one computer-to-computer cable, usually with 15-pin DSUB plugs to fit PC standard computers. You should purchase a video-to-projector cable and a stereo audio cable to fit the equipment of your choice. S-video jacks are also provided on LCD projectors for higher-quality video playback. Your LCD projector may also come with a remote control like the mouse with your computer. Check the computer"s user manual to see how this feature works. Unsure what cables to buy? Your local audio-visual dealer can provide the correct computer, mouse, video, and audio cables in the correct lengths or contact Projector Concepts for custom made Straightwire cables.
    
    
19. What is the difference between optical and digital keystone?
    The optical keystone angle is the angle between the optical axis and the center of the projected image. This varies by some degrees and is dependent of the position of the zoom lens. This angle is actually a fixed angle and can only be "changed" by turning the zoom lens
    
    Digital keystoning gives you the possibility to have a correct square image, even when the image is thrown upwards in desktop mode or downwards in ceiling mode. This is achieved by an asymmetrical scaling, providing a square projected image when/if the projection lens is tilted in comparison with the projection screen.
