A Short Throw Projector Is Ideal For Presentations In Small Areas

By Keith St. Pierre


In business and educational settings, presentations using video and audio are important to get a point across. Humans learn faster and retain more of what they have seen and heard than what they have read. If space is limited or unknown prior to the presentation, a short throw projector may be the best choice. These devices are capable of displaying exceptionally clear images where there is not a lot of room to work.

Long throw projectors are designed for use in larger venues like theaters or auditoriums, whereas a short throw projector offers different lenses for smaller areas. For use in a small conference room, an office, a classroom or even a trade show booth these devices excel. Laptop computers with or without a larger monitor attached may offer better resolution, however, not as many viewers can see what is being displayed.

Differences in lenses between short and long throw create an aspect ratio that determines quality at different distances from the screen and the size of the screen an image will be displayed on. For example, an aspect ratio of 1.5 to 1 on one device means the unit would need to be positioned 7.5 feet from a wall or screen to create a 60-inch diagonal image. A short throw lens with an aspect ratio of 0.37 to 1 would only require the unit to be 1.5 feet from the screen to project the same sized image.

Therefore, the short throw projector can be located very close to the screen while still providing viewers with crisp, clear images or video. At the same time, the presenter can stand behind the device while not interfering or casting shadows on the screen. In close quarters, everyone can get the full effect of the presentation. At the same time, presenting in a larger area is just as efficient as those in the back will still be able to clearly see what is being displayed on the screen.

Short throw projectors are available from numerous manufacturers including but not limited to Dell, InFocus, NEC, BenQ and Mitsubishi. Typical prices range from around $500 to $2000 or more. Many of these devices are compact and lightweight enough to move from one classroom or office to another or for the traveling professional. A number of models feature plug-and-play connectivity for connecting to different input devices, i.e. PC, tablet computers and smart phones.

To portray a professional and prepared image during a sales meeting or lecture, ease of setup, use and quality of graphics and audio is imperative. Small areas or where the dimensions of a room are not known ahead of time is where a short projector can shine.
