Network Projectors Tips

You May Benefit From a Network Projector

Digital projectors have been a great tool for many people. When it comes to network projectors, the primary customer base that benefits are large businesses and schools. The reason is simple; it can make life easier on everyone. Because the projector is connected to the network, the ability to transfer files, presentations, and other information is incredibly easy and it eliminates the hassle of worrying about distributing hard copies of company- or school-wide presentations.

Mid Size Jobs

Even medium-sized businesses have a need for projectors, and a network projector is a good way to go. When you aren't in the business of presenting in front of hundreds of people but need a projector for an average crowd, you don't need the biggest projector out there. Keep in mind the size of the room the projector will be used in, and pick a product that is meant for that size. Another great choice for smaller or medium sized presentations is a portable projector.

The Difference In Networking and Regular Projectors

Unlike the better-known overhead or portable projectors that have been on the market for awhile, there are projectors that can be networked through a LAN (local area network), allowing several computers access to its functions. A network projector looks, works, and functions the same as any projector but with one difference; it comes with its own unique IP address. This gives an IT professional the ability to locate the projector through the network and effectively perform different functions. Some models also give the flexibility to allow any one in the company access to the projector and its capabilities at any time.

The Price of Convenience

Network projectors can range in price depending on the features you are looking for, but expect to pay anywhere from $1,500 to more than $5,000. The less-expensive models won't offer as many features or capabilities as a higher-priced model, but it's important to do a price comparison before purchasing because you may find a less-expensive brand that offers more features than a more expensive brand will. Hitachi and Mitsubishi projectors tend to offer the most features at the lowest price point.

Benefits For Project Managers

Project managers have a vested interest in what a network projector will do for them, and with good reason:

- Problems that arise or changes that need to be made can be done remotely, in real time.

- Automatic maintenance alerts save time and energy.

- Instead of manually shutting down, automatic shutdowns can be scheduled for network projectors.

- Multiple projectors can be handled at the same time through the network.

The Big One

When it comes to presenting information on a large scale, for example in an auditorium or a lecture hall, you need a powerful projector. Look for the brightest projector you can find, with 6.500 to 10,000 lumens. A Sanyo XF projector is a good example of what you'll need for this kind of work.

Small But Powerful

Small businesses may not have the need for a lot of projection use, but when they do it's nice to have one readily available and easy to access. The Infocus LP640 Projector will get you going, is easy to use, small and lightweight. For small businesses, it offers plenty of options without the hassle of large networking needs. Small companies don't really have a need for a network projector, as it probably won't be used enough to take full advantage of the technology. A simple data video projector should be more than enough to meet a small company's needs.
