Rent A Superbright, Ultraportable Projector From £50 Per Day Ex VATIf the last time you had to use projector for a business presentation it arrived in a box on wheels, needed two strong people to lift it and despite the 2 hours or so it took to set up the picture could only be seen with all lights off and blinds closed then today’s projection equipment will come as a pleasant surprise. Modern projectors are small, simple to use and very bright as well as surprisingly affordable. At The Big Picture we have over 20 years of experience in the presentations industry, having started back in the days when a business presentation meant a tray of 35mm slides and when getting a projector to show your computer was a black art and definitely not an exact science. Now, however, you can carry everything you need to give an impressive presentation with you, confident that the technical side of a presentation is no problem and allowing you to concentrate on the audience. We can offer short term hire of a range of equipment including plasma screens and PA systems as well as sales of new, used and graded stock. Click on a tab to find out more or you can call or email if you have a specific requirement you wish to discuss. We don’t believe that you can buy or hire presentation equipment from a catalogue without discussing your needs first.

PDG-DHT100 DLP Full HD 6500 Lumens ProjectorNew from Sanyo is the PDG-DHT100 DLP Projector. At 6500 lumens it fits neatly into the range of projectors most commonly used for corporate presentations but offers full 1080p resolution. With HD becoming commonplace in the home with TVs and camcorders it was only a matter of time before a practical business projector offered high definition at a useable brightness. Other manufacturers models have previously been 10000 lumens or brighter: bigger, brighter and heavier than needed for most presentations. With interchangeable colour wheels for either maximum brightness or best colour reproduction, twin lamps and uncompressed HD Data Wireless Transmission System as well as picture in picture and soft edge blending this is a great projector for demanding presentation requirements. Call us to arrange a hire or demonstration or click here for the DHT100 spec sheet.
Sanyo XP200We are pleased to be able to offer for hire and sale the brightest Sanyo XGA projector model, the XP200. This is a big step forward in terms of colour reproduction thanks to the addition of a 4th LCD panel. Sanyo says: "By managing the amount of yellow light used within the optical engine, the Colour Control Device extends the available colour space and accuracy of the projector by 20% as well as improving optical efficiency to deliver remarkable levels of brightness." "The first model to be equipped with 4LCD technology is the PLC-XP200L. Outputting 7,000 ANSI lumens, the PLC-XP200L delivers noticeable improvement in colour reproduction over standard LCD projectors. In-organic panels facilitate a contrast ratio of 2200:1 and offer significant lifetime benefits over standard LCD, ensuring that the PLC-XP200L suited to a range of environments from board rooms and auditoriums, to digital signage or event installations." With practical features such as a shutter and compatibility with the existing range of XP lenses, this is a fantastic addition to the range. It is also highly portable for such a high powered projector. Call us to arrange a demo or hire.

Is That It?We were recently contacted by independent film director Brett Sinclair who had finally realised his dream of making his own feature film, "Is That It." Set in the North East and made on a shoestring Brett had managed to secure a 1 week run in an independant cinema to present his baby to the world but the venue didn't have any facilities for showing DVD, only 35mm film. We were pleased to help and arranged for the hire of a Sanyo XP100 with a long lens so that the film could be projected from the projection booth rather than halfway down the auditorium which is what Brett had thought he would have to be content with. After pre screening tests Brett was delighted with the image quality and size and we are only sorry we couldn't be in Redcar for the premiere. Click here to see the trailer for "Is That It?"
Bamboozled.......?Brighton based agency Kanoti contacted us recently as they wanted to project a series of animated short films in Jubilee Square, Brighton. As the event was at night and outdoors they needed a bright, portable projector to show the work of local filmakers using a building as a screen. After looking at a couple of projectors it was decided to use the Sanyo XP200 as, at 7000 lumens, it offered the best balance of brightness over size.
The event started at 9pm, just as the light was finally going and ran for an hour and due to the warm dry evening was very well attended. Kanoti were very pleased with the XP200. Not only with the brightness but also the quality of the image and the colour reproduction. You can find the Kanoti Bamboozled website here.
And Finally.... EM AcousticsThanks for sticking with us and reading right to the end. We are now the proud owners of some lovely EM Acoustics speakers, specifically the EMS-81 and EMS-61. EM Acoustics take the view that it is possible to build speakers that do not require processors if the crossover is correctly designed, unlike some other manufacturers who require you to buy either a specific controller or amp to run their speakers. With outstanding sound quality, these speakers run very happily on straight out of the box QSC amps. We are looking to add the EMS-121 to our hire stock very soon for added oomph! |
