Home theater projectors vs. office projectors
While office and home theater projectors look the same and work in similar ways, they offer different capabilities to suit their applications. Home projectors show movies so they need to replicate realistic skin tones and other colors, and lifelike movement and action. Office projectors show spreadsheets and graphs, so they must be able to throw text and other static images onto the screens. The machines' different bulbs and brightness levels to achieve these effects and projector accessories may vary as well.
Office projectors accept a range of video sources
Many models have ports for connecting to different sources of video, which include:
- VGA
- HDMI
- DVI
- USB
Some multimedia projectors even connect to wired or wireless networks, allowing them to use network resources when locating visuals or photos and slideshows to display on the screens. Hook up a laptop or another device to a projector and easily share what's on the screen with the audience while also controlling it from your computer.
Screens, mounts, and other projector accessories
A variety of accessories are also essential for easier or more effective operation. It's best to use a projector screen for throwing images onto a surface, and the bright white color of the screen lets other colors show up more clearly. Ceiling mounts hold the devices in an elevated position for a more effective image display. A projector may also require a replacement bulb from time to time.
Portable projectors fit inside pockets
Portable projectors provide the convenient option of taking projectors along to multiple locations. They may even be small enough to fit inside pockets or bags while still boasting impressive image-throwing capabilities. Like their larger counterparts, portable models mount to fixtures like tripods and also connect to external video sources through HDMI or other cables.
