Business projector for professional use

Business projectors are essential tools for companies that require professional projection technology. They offer the necessary brightness, image quality and flexibility to be used in a wide variety of environments. Find out everything you need to know about projectors for seminar, meeting and office rooms in our business projector buying guide.

Presentations, meetings and training sessions are indispensable in modern business life. A projector in a business environment must therefore be flexible and efficient in order to fulfil the diverse requirements. The great advantage of a projector in the conference room is that it enables large-scale projections that can be flexibly adapted to different room sizes. In comparison, LED walls or displays are often limited in size and positioning and incur significantly higher acquisition costs.

With its compact design and flexible installation options, the EB-770U is perfectly tailored to various business requirements. With 360-degree installation and support for ultra-wide screen formats such as 21:9 and 16:6, the projector offers maximum flexibility when designing presentations and projections.

The lens shift function and the ability to use projection surfaces from 50 to 500 inches (1.3 m to 12.7 m) make it possible to optimally utilise any room size. The wide range of connection options, including BYOD connectivity and HDBaseT, guarantee seamless integration and simple operation, whether for conferences, training courses or creative presentations.

The projection ratio of a projector describes the relationship between the distance of the projector to the screen and the size of the projected image. It is specified as the ratio of distance to image width. This ratio determines how far away the projector must be from the screen in order to achieve the desired image width .

Projectors offer different projection ratios and therefore varying degrees of flexibility in terms of placement. When purchasing a projector, it is important to consider the projection ratio as it affects the suitability for the intended room:

→ Short-throw or ultra-short-throw projectors can project large images from a short distance, making them ideal for small meeting rooms.

→ Devices with longer projection ratios, long throw projectors, require more distance from the screen, but are ideal for larger conference rooms.

The resolution of a business projector plays a decisive role in the image quality and should be adapted to the respective requirements. A business projector that should impress with its image quality should have at least a WXGA image resolution. However, we recommend a Full HD business projector in order to be able to display text and images equally well on larger projection screens.

• Full HD projector (1,920 x 1,080): Perfect for projecting detailed graphics and animations in medium-sized conference rooms.
  

• WUXGA projector (1,920 x 1,200): Provides excellent picture quality for high-resolution presentations.

• 4K projector (3,840 x 2,160): For pin-sharp and precise presentations in larger conference and meeting rooms.

The brightness of a projector is measured in ANSI lumens and should be adapted to the ambient conditions. In rooms with little ambient light, a projector with up to 5,000 ANSI lumens is sufficient. In bright rooms or for daylight projections, you should choose a projector with more than 5,000 ANSI lumens. Daylight projectors offer the decisive advantage of delivering brilliant images and trouble-free presentations even in bright light.

Before purchasing a business projector, the question arises: Which projection technology is the right one? LCD and DLP are the most common options, but both offer different advantages. Here you can find out which technology is best suited to your requirements.

Whether a projector connection is important depends on which playback device you want to connect to the projector. Both the projector and the playback device must have at least one pair of the same inputs or outputs for video and audio. Additional connections must be available for transferring data and control data.

A modern business projector should have a variety of connections, we have summarised the most important projector connections for you:

Connection		Audio	Video	Data	Features
USB-C		✓	✓	✓	digital connection for multimedia and data

A business projector should have specific functions to meet professional requirements. These functions ensure a high level of user-friendliness and guarantee the best projection results.

Both stationary and mobile screens have their advantages, depending on whether you are working in a fixed room or presenting flexibly in different locations.

Different screen formats are suitable depending on the area of application. To achieve optimum results, the screen format should matchboth the intended use and the native format of the projector so that the edges of the image are perfectly flush with the screen.
