Need some tips on the equipment you will be needing for your event?

Projector Tips:

Brightness Tips

• If you are intending on lowering the lights for your presentation or video, then you do not need a brighter projector (unless the image size will be very large.)
• For a high ambient light room, a righter projector will be needed, or the image will be dulled.
• You can use a lower brightness projector if the area where the image is being projected had the lights dimmed or out.
• Projectors do not project black, regardless of their brightness, so this should be a consideration when projecting in a very bright setting.

Contrast Tips

• All projectors have a contrast ratio which describes the range between full white and full black in the projection.
• For data projections, a low contrast ration works well.
• For Video or photographic projections, a higher contrast works better, as detail at the white and black end other spectrum is better detailed.
• Our best projectors for video and photographic are the ASK A4 for low cost SVGA and the Plus UP-1100 or Proxima DX6850 for XGA resolutions.
• The darker the room, the better the contrast detail will be apparent

Resolution Tips

• The higher the resolution, the better the image will appear.
• Increase resolution sharpness for video is more obvious with DVDs than with video tape.
• Powerpoint presentations require a minimum of SVGA resolution, and typically look better, and much sharper at XGA resolution.  The greater the detail in your presentation, the more you are likely to need a higher resolution.
• Compression down from XGA to SVGA generally results in a poorer image than  XGA or compression from SXGA to XGA.
• All our projectors are progressive scan, so you don’t have to worry about the image flickering.
• The larger the projected the image, the more noticeable the pixels will be, so an XGA much projector is better for extremely large projections

Placement and Screen Size Tips

• Typically a projector needs a thrwo rang of 1.6 times the size of the impage projected.  For example, to fill a 10' diagonal screen, a projector needs to be at leat 16 feet from the screen.
• The projector projects in a cone, so keep that in mind for seating arrangments between teh projector and the screen.
• most projectors have keystoning - which allows an undistored image even if the projector is pointe dup at a sharp angle.
• lower lighting provides a better image and can be spcifically where the screen is, while leaving light on in the rest of your room or hall.
