FW: [CIO] Classroom Technology Wireless Projectors

Subject: Re: [CIO] Classroom Technology Wireless Projectors


We have recently bought Sony Video Projector model VPLCX85, which includes a wireless module as well as ability to use a memory stick (for no-PC presentations, if the Powerpoint slides are static). This model is 3000 lumens and available for less than $3K.
.
My staff report that video works well. Since we use sign language, our video quality needs are high and motion in videos is very high. We've bought one add-on wireless device for an exisiting projector and found that video didn't work well with those.

Has anyone been using the wireless projectors in smart/technology enhanced classrooms? I saw them at Educause last year and was intrigued with the possibilities until I was told by the vendor that motion and video don't work very well. They do well with static Power Point type application projection.

Michael,

In addition to the other excellent responses - you may want to investigate some of the newer projectors that are network enabled.

These models offer some very nice functional advantages in terms of connectivity and support.
