zonino Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi All, someone has recently ordered this projector for the office for an install and the minimum image size is about 6 metres across (on a 6 metre throw), somehow I've ended up having to deal with this! I'm fairly sure that the only options available with this particular projector are: Ceiling Mount the projector in the middle of the ceiling (its currently on the opposite wall), however this involves drilling into the asbestos ceiling and therefore the cost is basically that of the projectorGetting a suitable projector before I go back and tell them they need to do the second, does anyone have any other suggestions? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason5d Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 This is what comes of not buying from a specialist like usthey would have asked the right questions to supply a projectorthat will do the job. if you want the projector where it is then you need a different projector with a long lens - expensive cheapest option I'd say is, hang the projector in the right place and pay for the asbestos to be sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Jason's point is right, although quite a blunt way to put it... It does appear that the machine won't give you a small image size, and it's either a new lens or new position. I guess the Asbestos route isn't the preferred way due to the cost, and disruption that altering the asbestos brings. The lowest cost units that we've come across with lens options are the Hitachi CPX6xx series, starting about 4000 lumen and £1925 RRP. Then about £1500 for the lens.... Ouch. At that point putting 4 holes into a ceiling for a Unicol mount, then a bit of self adhesive trunking to get the cables there seems more cost effective... Other than that I'm afraid I'm all out of ideas. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutcracker Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Use the wages of the sacked numpty that ordered that unsuitable one to purchase the correct projector :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonino Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 This is what comes of not buying from a specialist like usthey would have asked the right questions to supply a projectorthat will do the job. or the senior broadcast engineer being based a few thousand miles away and the project manager not asking the ex-AV tech (aka me) about it before ordering it... one of those options ;-) thanks Pete, as I thought but wanted to check I wasn't missing an obvious option as its been a couple of years!
