Easier to read and use - Standard CSU control layout from Class to Class 3. Graphical interface – ability to upgraded as technology changes 4. Network connection to control system for system upgrades and maintenance • Classroom Technology Refresh Equipment Overview
Classroom Technology 2011 / 2012 Bright Wide 16:10 image and screen 1. Reliability – less failure and lower maintenance – Longer Filter Life 2. Larger Brighter image - Easier to read – better classroom presentation 3. Higher resolution – matches the resolution of the PC / Laptop image 4. Life cycle of a classroom projector is typically around 5 years at best 5. Technology continues to improve while cost are dropping – bang for the buck 6. Longer lasting long term use with new technology projectors – DLP new LCD Panels • Classroom Technology Refresh Equipment Overview Projector Upgrade Benefits 4:3 16:10
Projector Upgrade Benefits Newer Technology Projectors have Inorganic LCD Panels vs Organic Panels “Degradation most typically occurs in the blue channel, and it can cause color shifts and reduced contrast. When this happens the LCD panel needs to be replaced. To eliminate this as a potential problem for users, the next generation LCD projectors will feature LCD panels made with inorganic compounds that are not susceptible to degradation over time.”
