Projection

Long Throw Projector

HD USB input PC/DVD/Video camera The long throw has the ability to make the projection go further so

the further you go away the bigger the projection gets the downside is that the further you go is also become much more pixelated much you can manually focus it more with the dial on top of the projector.

Also it creates silhouette whilst standing in front of the projector but the long throw can create an inverted bulb which means you can light it from behind and still switch the image to be the right way around to the audience.

Has a built in speaker

Scenario:I would use a long throw projector over a short throw projector because it is much more discrete such as a using it in an art gallery where you want the projector to be hidden this would be much better to use.

Short throw projector

You can manually focus it with the dial onto of the projector so its not pixelated and make it crisp

uses a VGA cable USB input The lens flicks down unlike a long throw

projector where the lens has a mirror effect so the image hits the mirror and reflects off.

Scenario:You would use a short throw projector over a long throw projector when using an inverted bulb and there is not much room back stage and you want the same size projector just in a small space this is when it would be very useful because you can have it in a smaller area and still have a giant defined image.
