Renting Projectors

By Joe Woods

Digital projectors are suberb presentation devices, with their ability to deliver clean crisp images, they can really capture an audience. They can be plugged directly into a variety of devices including laptop/ PCs , DVD players or video recorders.

Digital projectors have many great benefits, athough the initial cost of a projector plus replacement bulbs are worth considering when there is the option of projector rental at a fraction of the price. LCD projectors are considered to be the most flexible but other things to consider are screen size and colour.

The screen and digital projector must have the scame aspect ratio to ensure the projected image fits properly. Aspect ratio refers to the dimensions of the image being projected. This doesn't mean the size of the image but refers more to the shape. The most common being 4:3 or 16:9 for widescreen models although others are available.

The screen size need will largely depend on two things, the size of the room aswell as the size of the audience. The minimum distance a viewer should be is twice the width of the screen and the maximum distance should be no more than six times the distance of the screen.

The distance a projector can project an image is called the throw distance. The majority of projectors will have ample throw distance to use in most boardrooms or classrooms, however for larger venues you may need to look into renting a professional digital projector.

Also the projector you will need will depend on the ambience of the room and the control you have over that. You will need a digital projector with more lumens if the room is brighter, Usually 1000-2000 lumens should suffice but if the room is quite bright you may need 3000+

Cost is essentially the main benefit for renting a digital projector. Why spend hundreds maybe even thousands of pounds on something that you wot be using a vast amount of the time when projector rental is affordable and easy. When you also take into consideration the cost of replacement bulbs, rental becomes even more appealing.

Digital projectors aren't particularly easy to transport and can be easily damaged when being transported. Renting prevents the hassle of fixing them if they were to get broken. - 30528
