Pro A/V 101: Projection Solutions [59:39]

Building a Complete Projection Solution

Beyond a basic setup, there is a wide variety of projection solutions (along with an array of unfamiliar technical terms) and the projector is only one part of it! Screens, mounts and cable runs all play a role and have their own caveats within each specific environment or vertical that are critical to a successful projection solution integration. Join Christopher Phillips, CTS, D&H Presales and Solutions Team Lead, as he pulls back the curtain on projection solutions and reviews how to design, quote, and complete these Pro A/V opportunities. Whether you've never before quoted a projection solution, are only getting part of the deal, or simply looking for a refresher course, this webcast will be your guide to building the complete solution.

Are there any projectors that work in rooms with a lot of sunlight?
Yes, Ultra short throws with ALR screens and High lumen Laser will work best.

Does the Actiontec ScreenBeam 1100 require any software to be installed on the device it is connected to?
No, it runs off of native wireless share built into current Windows/MAC/Android OS’s.

How does the Actiontec ScreenBeam 960 differ from the ScreenBeam 1100?
960 is 1080P, 1100 is 4K.

What is the formula you used for image size based on? Do I have to follow it?
https://www.avixa.org/standards/discas-calculators/discas/bdm
Do not have to follow, environment/ Content / Audience will determine the screen size.

Why are projectors brighter than most LCD displays but the image I see on the projection screen is not as bright as the LCD?
This is an environment and product difference; Different levels of both produce lower and higher outputs.  Choice based on, Environment/ Content / Audience

Is there an easier way to calculate projector throw? Is using the formula the only way?
Use the calculator that the manufacture has listed on their website, this is recommended.

What's the best way to future proof a conference room? 4K resolution?
No such thing, tech is always changing, get the newest tech for the best price.
