Find the Right Slide Projector
There are several types of slide projectors available on the market today, each one serving a specific purpose. The variety of slide projectors available can make it difficult to know which slide projector is the right one for the job.
Instructions
1. Know the type of data you use. A slide projector can be used with glass slide trays or digital files. You need an LCD projector if you use digital files. For glass slide trays, you can use a 35 mm slide projector.
2. Determine the focal length you need. Slide projectors vary in their ability to fill a screen at certain distances. Some slide projectors require the projector to be in close proximity to the screen. The size of the screen can also be a factor to consider.
3. Consider the location where you use the slide projector. Not only does the size of the room matter, the conditions of the presentation matter. Will you use the slide projector in a dark room or a well-lit room? If the lights are on during the presentation, you need a projector that can compensate for the additional light and still provide you with a quality picture.
4. Pick the change time you need. The change time of a slide projector is the minimum amount of time required to move a slide through the projection gate. You need a quick change time if you are going to move quickly through a presentation.
5. Choose the additional features. Finding the right slide projector may depend on the extra features available for the projector. Decide if it is beneficial to have remote focusing ability or auto focus. Also determine if you need a preview screen and random slide access. Other accessories can include an extra lamp module or a reading light.
