Choosing Dual DVD Players/ Multimedia Projectors

For small Trade Show venues, DVD Multimedia Projectors are a great choice. With a Lumens of 2000 and lower, not only is the projector light and portable but you can use it to show your presentation DVDs to a small group. This is the perfect projector for a group of 50 people or less and doesn't require a lot of other equipment and accessories.

DLP Projectors

AVPartner.com Tip: It's not a good idea to use DLP projectors in environments where the temperature fluctuates drastically. DLP projectors must be used in temperatures between 41 degrees and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Another way to protect DLP projectors is to prevent them from falls. This is important because damage from a fall is typically not covered under a standard warranty. Be sure DLP projectors are placed on a hard, level surface that is slip-free.

Choosing Screens for Multimedia Projectors

Your Trade Show's success rests not only in the multimedia projectors that you select, but also in the screen that you use to project your display. One of the hottest trends in the Trade Show industry is to use the large sized Plasma screens. These screens range in size from 37”- 61”. Plasma Displays are a show stopping way to draw attention to your Trade Show display.

How An LCD Projector Works

AVPartner.com Tip: When using LCD projectors, consider the brightness and contrast elements. If the ANSI lumens rating is higher, LCD projectors will have a brighter light. For a typical business or classroom setting, you need LCD projectors that will put out 1000 to 2000 lumens. However, if you find yourself in an expansive room, like a conference room, you may need to boost the luments up to 2000 to 3000. This will prevent the images on the LCD projectors from being washed out. For a good contrast, use a projector with contrast ratios of 400:1 or higher. If you think you'll often be putting images up with the lights on, you should look for LCD projectors with a contrast ratio that is particularly high.

Wireless Multimedia Projectors

Wireless multimedia projectors are becoming increasingly popular, especially with Trade Show vendors. Setting up displays is much simpler without worrying about cables and cords. Though wireless projectors are still a relatively new technology, many companies are now offering wireless projectors as well as accessories. Check with the manufacturer of your multimedia projector and see if they have a wireless card and software on the market. You may be able to pull the plug on your projector.

Mitsubishi Projectors

AVPartner.com Tip: As technology evolves, the Mitsubishi Projector is keeping up with the times. Like its competitors, you can find a Mitsubishi projector in a variety of weights. However, Mitsubishi tends to have projectors that are lighter than others weighing in between 2.9 lbs or 5 lbs. ANSI Lumens range from 1,500 to 3,000. One Mitsubishi projector, the HD4000U model, is even more updated and is widescreen and HD ready. Another Mitsubishi projector, the XD460U model, even boasts a 5,000 hour lamp life. All these features - light weight, lamp life, widescreen and HD readiness - make purchasing a projector from Mitsubishi a good move.

Choosing an LCOS Projector

LCOS or Liquid Crystal on Silicon has been touted to be the better than Texas Instrument's DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). For those who favor LCOS the technology is still fairly new, but the Canon Realis SX50 does utilize it and at 8.6 pounds is portable and light. However, the Resolution setting of 1400 x 1050 pixels doesn't make it suitable for everyone.

Which Church Projector is Best- DLC or LPD?

AVPartner.com Tip: Although an LCD projector might work for your projection needs in church, a Christie projector -- which has a DLP display type -- is known to work well in houses of worship. One particular Christie Projector, model DS+8K, has 8,500 ANSI lumens with the highest contrast available. It has the ability to stack, rig and edge-blend creating bigger, more vibrant images. This Christie projector has a two-year warranty for parts and labor. When considering this projector, note that it's not really portable. It weighs about 75 lbs.

Determining your ROI with Trade Show Projectors

Your Return of Investment or ROI with trade show projectors is vitally important to calculating how much profit you have made. The easiest way to determine your ROI is to take your income and subtract from it the costs of your inventory and supplies. The amount left is your Return of Investment. Using multimedia projectors for your displays is a great way to improve your ROI. It is more cost effective to create a captivating visual display as opposed to printing handouts that may be immediately discarded.

Using a Trade Show Tech for Your Large Venue Projection

Trade shows in large venues can require a lot of setup. One simple way to ensure that you will have the Trade Show exhibit that you have planned is to hire a Trade Show tech. The tech will be in charge of making sure that the large venue projection is flawless and that your equipment will be ready for you to use. Some companies that rent trade show equipment will also set it up for you and will also help you with any questions that you have about using it.
