Data projectors are a versatile display solution for variety of corporate and business events.
Connecting directly to data sources such as laptops or DVD players, there is a data projector available to provide high quality digital images for virtually any venue irrespective of size or ambient light levels.
Data projectors are available in a variety of sizes to suit any kind of event. From small meetings to full scale corporate events there is a data projector available to cater for your display requirements.
Data projectors are differentiated by the following performance factors:
· Brightness – measured in ANSI Lumens. The higher the lumen rating the brighter the projector and as such the more suitable it is for venues with high levels of natural light
· Resolution – Describes the number of pixels the projector is capable of displaying. The greater the number of pixels the sharper the projected image. Commonly seen resolutions are SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) and XGA (1024 x 768 pixels).
· Contrast ratio – Describes the ability of the projector to block out the lamp light. This translates into the depth of black projected on the screen.

Data projectors for this size of event generally display the following features:
Lumen rating - Entry level data projectors usually display a lumen rating of between 1000 and 2000 lumens. As such this makes them most suitable for small meetings, seminars and events in rooms with low ambient light levels.
Connectivity - As with most data projectors available on the audio visual hire market small event projectors allow connection from a variety of data sources including laptops computers, desktop computers via USB and VGA cables and DVD players via RCA video cables.

Easily installed - Due to their small size and low weight entry level data projectors suitable for small events are extremely portable and easily installed. They also tend to be very easy to operate with minimal levels of experience necessary to get the best results.
Considerations that should be taken into account when deciding on the most appropriate data projector to hire:
Audience size – The larger the audience the more powerful the data projector should be. Small data projectors such as those described above are suited only for small scale events with audiences up to a maximum of 20 people depending on their positioning in the room and ambient light levels.

Throw distance – Projectors vary in terms of their ability to project a clear image over certain distances. Be sure to inform your data projector supplier of the distance you intend to project over and the size screen you wish to fill. They can then advise you on the most appropriate model for your requirements.
Light levels – Small, portable data projectors are generally less powerful than larger models and as a result are less effective in more brightly lit rooms. For the best results when using a small, portable data projector dim the room lights as much as possible and position the screen in the darkest area of the room.
