Screens and projectors are commonly rented by a variety of groups and organizations including:
A screen of carefully chosen characteristics: size, material, and mount is necessary for professional presentation. It helps in presentation and its presence communicate professional approach.
Factors which influence choices for rental include:
There’s a right screen size for different sizes of audiences. The screen should feel about 30% of a viewer’s field of vision. Wider than that causes viewers to move their head uncomfortably to take the whole panorama, and smaller screens are, well, too small. Details are hard to see and graphics are hard to read.
Every projector is given a lumen rating which tells you how bright the projector will appear. The lumen level is normally a factor when using a venue with large amounts of ambient (existing) light. But in a darkened room or evening event, a lower lumen projector can be extremely effective for smaller audiences. We will make you make the right choice according to your venue.
The type of material you’re presenting will determine the appropriate resolution for your projector. XGA resolution projectors are (1024×768) are the most common and are compatible with the vast majority of PCs and DVD players. They’re best for showing detailed PowerPoint slides, normal sized fonts, and high quality images and videos. Higher resolution images require more sophisticated projectors.
The size of screen being used or in some cases of using a wall (not recommended), the size of the image you wish to have will determine the type of projector required. Both Front and Rear(behind the screen) projection is available. We can assist you in making the best choice.
This is the distance between the screen and projector. This is normally an important factor when the distance is either very long or very short. We can help you make the most of your venue and select the right lens for extreme distances.
The higher the number of pixels, the sharper and more detailed the image will be. When comparing projectors, we compare their native resolution: most projectors are compatible with higher source resolution through the use of compression technology. We are here to help you make the right choice.
Projectors produce noises because of their fans. Most projectors are no louder than a normal computer, but some are very quiet producing a low 25dB. This is an important factor for home users as fan noise could distract from the movie.
The larger the contrast ratio, the greater the ability of projector to show subtle color details tolerant extraneous room light.
