Tripod Screens suit smaller rooms with a smaller audience and come in two screen sizes, 1.8×1.8 metres or 2.4×2.4 metres.  Tripod screens sit on 3 tripod legs, it is easily transportable and easily setup, therefore making it the more affordable option for smaller audiences.

For a more professional event, Fastfold screen hire is more commonplace as the screen is larger, sturdier and surrounded in black draping. Fast fold screens also allow for front or rear projection, a great space-saving idea in venues where seating is limited.  

Our fastfold screens will give a presentation a professional look and feel, and are suitable for conferences, annual general meetings, product launches, or any event that requires a professional look.

Available in a multitude of sizes to suit any requirements, fastfold screens require 2 technicians to setup as they are setup on a metal truss frame. When hiring a fast fold screen, be sure to check with the venue on their roof height to ensure the fast fold will fit.  Depending on the size, generally the ceiling height needs to be 3.5- 4 metres. For more information about ceiling height click on the Projector Screen hire page.

When presenting on stage, a speaker generally runs the presentation of a laptop either from stage or operations in the back of the room.  More often than not the speaker may have a video to show and wants it to run seamlessly, following on from the previous slide and without the need to open a file live in front of an audience.  In order to do this vision mixing is required from the ops booth using a vision mixer, enabling a smooth transition between the laptop on stage and the laptop in the ops booth that has already loaded up the video. This is the same process if a holding slide is to be used on the screens while the presenter takes a break.

Vision Mixing is commonly used where a camera films a live event and the presenter switches between the presentation and a live demonstration on stage, whether it be a panel discussion, or flip chart drawing. Ensuring the smooth transition from the speakers laptop to a live demonstration is not only professional but enhances audience participation as it is constantly engaging.

When sound reflects, it reaches the mic later and combines with direct sound, creating an uneven frequency response known as the ”comb filter effect,” resulting in an unnatural sound.

The figure above demonstrates an improper way to mic a person at a lectern. Placing the microphone too far away from the mouth causes reflected sound from the lectern’s surface to be picked up, leading to an audible comb-filter effect that sounds hollow or tonally coloured.

This figure demonstrates a superior method of mic placement for a person speaking at a lectern. The microphone should be positioned about 8 inches from the mouth to reduce the audible comb-filter effect caused by sound reflected from the lectern.
