Projection done properly for MTRs
Microsoft’s Enhanced Meeting Room designs use projection for these large Front Row displays.
Not easy to do properly. Fortunately help is at hand!
The new designs featured at The Hive’s collaboration R&D facility in Seattle use Epson EB-PU range projectors, with the expensive but good X01 UST lens. Not a cheap combo, but a fraction of the price of dvLED, with the benefits of high resolution and full pixel fill factor.
These Epson projectors are now upgraded with 21:9 EDIDs so MTRs can be equipped without the need for image processing - which is what we had to do before this.
For these or any projectors to work under normal lighting conditions, the use of ALR (ambient light rejecting) screens is absolutely essential. If you can’t do it with these screens you can’t do it. End of story.
Unless you’re going to install in a light controlled cave, don’t even think about projection without the right ALR material.
To get projection right, it’s about reverse engineering. Use AVIXA DISCAS to determine image size. Then choose the right ALR material. FINALLY (!) specify the required projector lumens using our advanced standards-based calculation tools.
This is what the Visual Display team does: we help clients globally do Projection Done Properly.
