Questions to think about before you book:
- What lumens do you need? (Lumens is the brightness of the projector)
- What resolution do you need? (Resolution is the number of pixels at which the display device does not have to expand or compress the input signal)
- What type: install, desktop or portable? (Install projectors tend to be larger and heavier, desktop ones are small and light and portable are somewhere in between!)
Use the following checklist to help you plan your projector hire:
A 2200 lumens projector will usually be sufficient for a smaller meeting – up to 20 people. A brighter projector will be needed for rooms with more natural light, bigger screens and larger audiences – some projectors go up to over 20,000 lumens but you shouldn’t need these for a simple presentation! Call us for advice on which projector will suit you best.
- Can everyone see the screen?
Depending on how many people are attending your meeting, some may be situated some way
away from the screen. If you have a lot of text in your presentation, then some may not be able to read it clearly. There are two solutions to this: repeater screens or larger screen/projector. Repeater screens are often plasma or LCD screens positioned further down the room that show the same image as the main screen. Quite often in larger meetings there may be pillars or obstructions that mean some people may not be able to see the whole screen. For these rooms repeater screens are the best option. If it is just a matter of distance from the screen, then increasing the screen size will help as the text will be larger and hence easier to read. The larger the screen, then generally you should increase the brightness of the projector, as light is diffused more over a larger area. Room ceiling heights may dictate that a larger screen is not possible, so repeater screens are a good fallback.
Often a screen by itself can look bare. There are different ways to dress up a simple screen but the most common are using felt covered flat panels, or using drapes(see picture). 
This are like heavy curtains that are framed around the screen to tidy it up. Flats come in a myriad of shapes and sizes, but the standard type is probably 8' x 4'. This can be covered in any colour felt (or other material), and any number of these can be added together to make a seamless wall. For more information on set design please call us and we can talk to through it.
Most projectors come with a small speaker that’s useless for anything practical. There’s nothing worse than being unable to make yourself heard! If you’ve got sound with your presentation or video, make sure you hire a separate PA system to let people hear it. Quite often Powerpoint presentations include a music track or "wake up call" which is completely wasted if it's coming out of a tiny speaker. Give your audience the full impact!
