LCD data projector hire Glasgow - LCD projectors use a series of dichroic mirrors and in-line LCD (liquid crystal displays) panels to generate an image. Cheap LCD projectors (which we don't have in our hire stock due to their inherent inferiority) use 1 LCD panel whereas our professional LCD projectors have separate RGB panels. The light streams are separated by the dichroic mirrors which reflect the Red, Green & Blue light streams. These three separate beams are then combined and focussed through the lens to generate the LCD data projection which you see displayed on the screen or other chosen display surface.

SVGA & XGA multimedia presentation units - The SVGA & XGA are references to the native resolution, which is equivalent to the screen size of a computer. These are measured in pixels. SVGA (which stands for Super Video Graphics Array) is 800 x 600 pixels. XGA (Extended Graphics Array) is 1024 x 768 pixels. Obviously (or perhaps not) both types of projectors will accept inputs of other resolutions which will be interpreted with only a slight loss of quality. VGA, SVGA, XGA & SXGA signals will all be accepted. Please note that all our data projectors are standard screen aspect ratio (ie. not wide screen), although they will either expand or compress a wide screen image (much like a standard TV). WXGA (wide screen projectors are available by arrangement if required). Our LCD projector range will accept both PAL & NTSC signals (PAL is the European standard, NTSC is the USA standard) on a variety of connections - Basically most connectors from any machine that could be connnected to a TV or computer monitor will be accepted. Typical uses are for Powerpoint presentations, or DVD playback. It is possible to connect a data projector to a games console such as a Sony Playstation or PS2, Microsoft XBox, a VHS or mini DV player, a camera (we have high resolution CCTV cameras available for hire which can be weatherproofed if required).

Powerpoint Presentations with audio playback - Our data projectors (like most modern units) are fitted with a small speaker being roughly equivalent to those found on a laptop and therefore we would recommend that an external sound system is in place for any presentation or use which has an audio playback requirement. We can provide sound systems for any occaison if required, and we will be happy to advise on what size of system we feel will suit the application.

Projector Placement and Screen size - We have a range of screens in various styles & sizes available. Tripod, pull down & fast fold screens are the three types which we have in hire stock and these are available in 4', 5' & 6' sizes. Larger screens can be made available by arrangement. For most users we find that the tripod screen is the simplest and most effective option. Most of our screens are set for front projection use. Ideal projector placement is twice as far back from the projector as the screen is wide. The bottom of the screen and lens should be in line, and the projector should be placed at a ninety degree angle to the centre of the screen. SVGA data projectors feature vertical keystone adjustment to compensate for the projector being above or below optimal alignment. Our XGA data projectors also offer horizontal keystone adjustment, which allows adjustment for the projector being off centre screen alignment. We do have back projection screens available in our hire stock. Additionally we have custom projection surfaces and can provide equipment for any eventuality if required.

Powerpoint projection equipment rentals - Our data projectors are all usable with computers (laptops, notebooks, PC's, Windows or Apple MacIntosh) which have an external VGA output, which almost every modern computer has. This external output will be on a 15pin D-Sub connector, or possible a DVI (Digital video interface). Most of our projectors can be controlled via a USB connection from a computer running Powerpoint. Driver disks can be provided or downloaded from the manufacturers website. Please be usre to discuss this at the time of your enquiry if you'd like us to provide a driver disk. For customers who intend to use a projector with alptop computer we typically ask the computer is brought when collection the projection equipment to ensure correct configuration and give a brief demo of the key features. If the projection equipment is being delivered we ask that the computer is available on-site at the time of delivery (if setup is required) for a brief demo and to configure the projection system.
