What are some of the considerations when utilising a portable data projector VS short throw data projector when used with eBeam?
A number of important considerations need to be addressed as follows: A. The mount will need to be a ceiling mount rather than a wall mount as the more portable range of DP’s are longer throw projectors which will need to be positioned several metres from the whiteboard to generate a sufficient sized image for viewing by the students. Due to the central positioning required for the DP being several metres back from the whiteboard, the only mounting position is from the ceiling. This will generally require a mounting plate being attached to the structural ceiling with a pole extending down to the required DP mounting height. The DP will be generally attached via a mounting plate connected to the pole. There are many brands of ceiling mounts and they come in sets that can have fixed pole lengths, adjustable pole lengths of different spans and individual meccano type applications. The mounting solutions may have cable management systems of varying standards. A word of caution with mountin
