Most conferences and an increasing number of churches use video projection to
display songs, Bible verses and even presentations.
Paper vs. OHPs
Many organisations have found that OHPs give their congregation greater freedom
in worship – helping them focus on the songs rather than searching through
songbooks. Compared to songbooks, OHPs offer
-
greater flexibility
-
often a lower cost
-
and you can’t run out of books on busy days!
Better than OHP
Despite the benefits over books, conferences, businesses and many churches have
moved on from OHP. Instead of a traditional projector and overhead
transparencies, you can use a video projector connected to a computer for all
the benefits of OHP and many more:
-
Clean, crisp, easy to read images
-
Consistent type styles for optimal legibility
-
Show identical images on all screens with only one operator
-
Show video clips, animated presentations and more
-
No OHPs to misplace, misfile or damage
-

Choosing a video projector
Video projectors, like OHPs, use light to project an large image onto a surface.
The best quality image will be obtained when using a specially designed
projector screen, although it is possible to use a large white wall.
Several choices exist when choosing a projector: how bright the projected image
will be, how detailed the image will be (resolution) and the portability of the
projector.
Brightness: Some projectors are brighter than others. If you
wish to use the projector in a room with more ambient light, choose a brighter
projector.
Resolution: The resolution of the projector defines how much
detail you will see. Higher resolution projectors produce more crisp images and
are especially useful if you intend to project a large image. When selecting a
video projector, you should consider both the size of and lighting conditions
in your venue which influence the required brightness and resolution of the
projected image
Portability: If you want to use the same equipment in a variety
of locations, a portable projector will be lighter, smaller and easier to
carry. Larger projectors, which will be heavier, can still be moved and may be
less expensive.
