Projector:
- Data projector capable of taking input from a PC.
- Capable of projecting an image 3m high by 4m wide (9' by
12'.)
Specs should indicate it can handle a screen size of 5 m diagonal
(15' diagonal,) which is larger than the normal consumer grade.
- Ceiling mounted with keystone distortion compensation to
avoid a distorted image.
- The large image size requires a projector of over 2500 ANSI lumens,
which is brighter than the normal consumer grade.
Speakers:
- Large, active PC stereo speakers with good sound quality (good dynamic range)
- Ceiling or wall mounting brackets and cables as needed. Speakers should be mounted near and
slightly in front of thethe joystick tripod, so that the sound can be kept as low as possible and still be
heard well by the user.
