When
hiring a projector, keep the following brightness guidelines in mind:
For smaller venues: 3000 – 5000 ANSI Lumens This would suit boardroom presentations or small conference venues, break-away and meeting rooms for larger conferences as well as training venues and churches and wedding receptions or restaurant functions. Medium to large venues: 6000 – 10 000 ANSI Lumens This brightness is very effective for conferencing in a larger venue and can then also be used for the conference gala dinner. Renting a projector of this brightness is also perfect for larger corporate events like product launches and award ceremonies as well as fashion shows and indoor sport viewing. Extra Large venues: 12 000 – 20 000 ANSI Lumens These projectors are perfect for large scale corporate events and conferences, live concerts, dance experiences, sport viewing and big parties. |

What to keep in mind
when hiring a projector: The darker the venue, the brighter the image. Light can have a big effect on the image brightness on the screen. For example, if the conference venue has big windows and no curtains or the event is during the day or the conference requires house lights to be on during presentation, a brighter projector is needed than for a film festival screening at night with the lights off in a venue with heavy curtains. The better the quality of the projector, the better the quality of the image. In other words, the better the quality of the projector, the higher the resolution. A higher resolution means more pixels. In basic terms that means that there will be more dots of light per square inch and the higher the number of dots the projector projects, the better the quality, colour and definition of the image on the screen. |
