Projection Systems For Conferences, Exhibitions & Events
Understanding Projector Brightness
Projector brightness is one of the most important factors when specifying a projection system. Our inventory ranges from compact meeting room projectors through to 30,000 lumen laser projection systems for major events and large venue applications.
2500-4500 Lumens
Meeting rooms, training events and small presentations.
5000-7000 Lumens
Conference projection using Panasonic PT-EZ570, PT-DZ680 and PT-MZ670 systems.
8500-30000 Lumens
Large venues, exhibition halls and high-impact event projection.
Typical Screen Sizes & Brightness Requirements
| Screen Width | Typical Brightness | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 8ft | 2500–4500 lumens | Meeting rooms and training events |
| 10ft | 5000 lumens | Conference presentations |
| 12ft | 6000–8500 lumens | Corporate events and lecture theatres |
| 16ft | 8500–12000 lumens | Conference plenaries |
| 24ft+ | 15000–30000 lumens | Large venues and auditoriums |
Understanding Projection Lenses
Interchangeable lenses are one of the key reasons professional Panasonic projection systems remain popular within conference and event production. While brightness and resolution are important, the ability to position a projector correctly within a venue often determines whether a projection system will be successful.
Throw ratio describes the relationship between projector distance and image width. A 1:1 throw ratio means a projector positioned 5 metres from a screen will produce an image approximately 5 metres wide. A 0.7:1 short throw lens can produce the same image from significantly closer distances, while a 5:1 long throw lens allows projection from the rear of an auditorium.
Our inventory includes Panasonic ET‑DLE060 ultra short throw lenses (0.6–0.8:1), ET‑D75LE5 fixed short throw lenses (0.7:1), ET‑ELW21 wide angle lenses (0.8:1) and ET‑DLE450 long throw lenses capable of operating at distances up to 8.6:1. This flexibility allows the same projector platform to be adapted to exhibition stands, hotel ballrooms, university lecture theatres and historic venues.
For example, a projector producing a 12ft image may need to be positioned only 7–8ft away using a short throw lens, while the same image could be projected from over 60ft away using a long throw lens. This becomes particularly important in listed buildings, conference centres and theatres where projector positions are restricted by architecture or audience sightlines.
Rather than selecting equipment purely on brightness, we normally calculate image width, projection distance and venue geometry before recommending a projector and lens combination. This approach ensures the screen is filled correctly while maintaining optimum image quality and brightness.
0.7:1
Short throw exhibition stands and restricted spaces.
1.7–2.8:1
Standard conference projection.
5.4–8.6:1
Long throw auditorium and theatre projection.
Why WUXGA Resolution Matters
Most professional projectors within our inventory operate at WUXGA resolution (1920×1200) using a 16:10 aspect ratio. This provides additional vertical workspace compared with standard Full HD formats.
For PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, financial reporting, CAD drawings, architectural plans and engineering schematics, the extra vertical resolution helps preserve detail and reduce scrolling.
Why We Use Panasonic Professional Projectors
Panasonic professional projectors form the foundation of our projection inventory because they offer a combination of image quality, lens flexibility and deployment versatility that is particularly well suited to conference and event production environments.
Unlike many entry-level projectors, Panasonic professional platforms are designed around interchangeable lens systems. Rather than forcing a projector into a specific position, the projector can be adapted to the venue by selecting the appropriate lens. This significantly increases the range of environments in which the projector can operate successfully.
For example, the same Panasonic projection platform can be installed on an exhibition stand using a 0.7:1 short throw lens, deployed within a conference suite using a standard lens or positioned at the rear of a theatre using a long throw lens. This flexibility is particularly valuable within Edinburgh venues where architectural restrictions often dictate projector locations.
Our Panasonic inventory includes the PT-EZ570, PT-DZ680, PT-MZ670 Laser, DZ870, DZ110, RZ120 Laser and PT-RZ31K. Together these systems provide brightness levels from 5,000 lumens through to 30,000 lumens while maintaining a consistent operational workflow and lens ecosystem.
The ability to share compatible lenses across multiple projector platforms simplifies event planning and allows systems to be scaled according to venue requirements without fundamentally changing the projection workflow. For conference organisers this means greater flexibility when venue layouts, screen sizes or projector positions change during the planning process.
This approach is particularly valuable within conference centres, university lecture theatres, hotel ballrooms and historic venues where projector positioning is often dictated by audience sightlines, rigging limitations and architectural features rather than ideal projection geometry.
Interchangeable Lenses
Adapt the projector to the venue rather than adapting the venue to the projector.
5,000–30,000 Lumens
Consistent projection platforms covering meeting rooms through to major event environments.
Professional Connectivity
HDMI, DVI, VGA, BNC and professional signal distribution compatibility.
Projectors vs Display Screens
Display screens are often ideal for registration areas, breakout rooms and environments with high ambient light. Projection becomes increasingly effective as audience sizes grow and image sizes exceed what is practical with large format displays.
For conference plenaries, large venue presentations and wide audience seating layouts, projection often provides a more cost effective and visually impactful solution than multiple large displays.
Conference Projection Workflows
Our projection systems are regularly integrated with presentation switchers, signal distribution systems, projection screens, livestreaming platforms and event production workflows. We can provide complete projection packages including screens, switching, backup systems and on-site technical support.
Professional Projector Inventory & Specifications
PT-EZ570 (5000lm), PT-DZ680 (6000lm), DZ110 (10600lm), DZ870 (8500lm), RZ120 Laser (12000lm), Epson 15K Laser and Panasonic PT-RZ31K (30000lm).
How Bright Is Bright Enough?
Projector brightness is measured in lumens and is often the most important factor when specifying a projection system. Small meeting rooms may only require 2,500 to 4,500 lumens, while conference venues typically benefit from 5,000 to 7,000 lumens.
For conference plenaries, exhibition halls and auditoriums, brightness levels of 8,500 lumens and above are often required. Large venue systems such as the Panasonic DZ870, DZ110, RZ120 Laser, Epson 15K Laser and PT‑RZ31K are designed for larger screen sizes and more challenging lighting conditions.
Projection Systems For Edinburgh Venues
Different venues require different projection approaches. Conference venues such as the Edinburgh International Conference Centre often require high brightness projection for large audiences, while university lecture theatres benefit from WUXGA resolution for detailed technical presentations.
Historic venues including the Assembly Rooms and other listed buildings frequently require careful lens selection due to architectural restrictions and projector positioning limitations. Our extensive lens inventory allows projection systems to be adapted to challenging venue layouts.
How We Specify A Projection System
1. Venue
Conference centre, hotel ballroom, university lecture theatre or historic building.
2. Screen Size
Determine image width based on audience size and viewing distance.
3. Ambient Light
Assess natural light, house lighting and presentation conditions.
4. Throw Distance
Measure available projector position and projection geometry.
5. Projector Selection
Select brightness and resolution appropriate for the application.
6. Lens Selection
Specify the correct lens to achieve the required image size.
12ft Screen Worked Examples
| Lens | Throw Ratio | Distance For 12ft Screen |
|---|---|---|
| ET-DLE060 | 0.6–0.8:1 | 7.2ft–9.6ft |
| ET-D75LE5 | 0.7:1 | 8.4ft |
| Standard Lens | 1.7–2.4:1 | 20.4ft–28.8ft |
| ET-DLE450 | 5.4–8.6:1 | 64.8ft–103.2ft |
ET-DLE060: Ideal for exhibition stands and restricted spaces.
ET-D75LE5: Commonly used for short throw conference projection.
Standard Lens: Suitable for most conference rooms and hotel venues.
ET-DLE450: Designed for auditoriums, theatres and long throw projection positions.
These examples demonstrate why lens selection is often as important as projector brightness. The same projector can be deployed in completely different venues simply by changing the lens.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many lumens do I need for my event?
The correct projector brightness depends on screen size, audience size, viewing distance and ambient light levels. Small meeting rooms often require 2,500 to 4,500 lumens, while conference presentations typically use 5,000 to 7,000 lumens. Large plenary sessions, exhibition halls and auditoriums frequently require 8,500 lumens or more to maintain image brightness and legibility.
What projector is best for a conference?
For most conference environments, WUXGA projectors in the 5,000 to 8,500 lumen range provide an excellent balance of image quality and brightness. Models such as the Panasonic PT-EZ570, PT-DZ680 and DZ870 are commonly used for PowerPoint presentations, keynote sessions, technical seminars and corporate events where detailed content must remain visible throughout the audience.
Do you supply projection screens as well as projectors?
Yes. We can supply projection screens, projector stands, rigging solutions, signal distribution, presentation switching and complete conference projection systems. Most projector hires include screen recommendations to ensure the image size is appropriate for the audience and venue layout.
What screen size do I need?
Screen size is normally determined by audience size and viewing distance. Smaller meetings may use 8ft screens, while conference plenaries often require 12ft to 20ft screens. Large venues and auditoriums can require projection surfaces exceeding 24ft wide. We calculate screen size and projector brightness together to achieve the best results.
What is WUXGA resolution?
WUXGA resolution is 1920 × 1200 pixels using a 16:10 aspect ratio. Compared with standard Full HD, WUXGA provides additional vertical image space which is particularly useful for PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, architectural plans and technical content where detail and readability are important.
Can projectors be used in daylight?
Yes, provided the projector has sufficient brightness for the environment. Daylight, windows and venue lighting significantly affect projection performance. Higher output projectors such as the Panasonic DZ110, RZ120 and PT-RZ31K are commonly specified for brighter venues where standard conference projectors may struggle.
What projection lens do I need?
The correct lens depends on projector position, screen size and throw distance. Short throw lenses can produce large images from very close distances, while long throw lenses allow projection from the rear of large venues. We calculate the appropriate lens for every hire to ensure the screen is filled correctly without compromising image quality.
Should I hire a projector or a display screen?
Display screens are often ideal for smaller audiences, registration areas and bright environments. Projection becomes increasingly practical as image sizes exceed 100 inches and audience numbers increase. For conference plenaries, lecture theatres and large events, projection is usually the most cost-effective way to achieve large image sizes.
Can you provide technicians with the projector hire?
Yes. We can provide experienced AV technicians to install, operate and support projection systems throughout your event. This can include projector setup, presentation management, signal distribution, screen installation and integration with wider conference AV systems.
Do you deliver projector hire throughout Edinburgh?

| 24ft | Exceptional brightness reserve |
| 30ft | Typical conference deployment |
| 40ft | Large venue projection |
| 50ft+ | Possible depending on venue conditions |
The PT-RZ31K is commonly deployed on projection surfaces exceeding 24ft in width and is capable of illuminating substantially larger screens where venue conditions permit. Actual screen size selection depends on ambient light levels, screen gain, viewing distance and content type.
For large-scale event production, the projector provides the brightness reserve required to maintain strong image performance across projection surfaces that would overwhelm lower output systems.
