Helping You Find Solutions in High-Growth Markets

At Digital Projection, we are here to help you solve problems with innovative products and technologies that address the needs of a rapidly evolving AV market. We have been working diligently to strengthen our products and services to make Digital Projection the obvious choice as your preferred provider of high-quality imaging systems. We know there are is a range of great products from which to choose, and we would be thrilled to work with you on your next project.

We have updated our projector and LED products to support commercial and residential markets and see several market segments adapting to the changing requirements of workplace and large group meeting spaces.

So, where have we observed an uptick in interest and adoption of high-performance projection and LED displays? House of worship, higher education, and corporate markets.

What’s driving the demand in each of these high-growth categories?

House of Worship: Premium projection systems and large LED videowalls keep the current congregation engaged and attract new members to the parish, sanctuary or synagogue through their support of a diverse range of video content, from hymn lyrics to streaming video.

Higher Education: Large-format imaging solutions support the needs of hybrid learning environments by enabling seamless multi-window viewing and collaboration between remote and onsite students.

Corporate: After almost four years of people working from home, many companies are requesting or requiring employees to return to the traditional corporate office. The addition of LED videowalls in lobbies, training rooms, employee lounges, and boardrooms helps attract workers back to the office while elevating productivity, efficiency, and collaboration across the entire organization.

Strengthening your footprint in these markets

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to HOW, higher-ed and corporate projects, our own dedicated design and installation team is here to help! Based on the parameters of the project, we can assist you in the specification, design, and configuration of the right imaging system. A great way to uncover and explore new opportunities is by contacting your Digital Projection regional sales rep. We’ve been building out our sales team over the past few months and are happy to report that all U.S. territories are now covered by an experienced, knowledgeable expert.

Land Bigger Jobs by Offering LED and Projection

We’re One of Few Manufacturers to Provide Both Solutions

Why limit your revenue potential by specializing in either projection systems or LED displays? By offering both, you expand your reach into new lucrative markets and can better serve your customers. And remember, in many cases, it won’t be an either/or proposition.

An MDU developer, for example, might benefit from an LED video wall in their design center to showcase to potential buyers the property’s various amenities and also a projection system in the community center for weekly movie nights. A luxury hotel, meanwhile, might want LED displays for the lobby, restaurant, lounge, and outdoor areas, but for the auditorium a state-of-the-art projector and screen.

Even owners of high-end residences recognize the modern vibe LED panels lend to living rooms and the authentic, cinematic flair a projection system bestows on their dedicated home theater.

By building your AV business around legacy projection and new-generation digital displays and aligning with a manufacturer like Digital Projection who can support each approach with turnkey design, configuration, and installation, you’ll be well prepared to provide your customers with the best viewing experience possible, whatever that may entail. We can help narrow down your imaging choices and arrange for additional tech and design service.

Holiday display tips for Houses of Worship

Get Ready for the Holidays with Scalable Imaging Solutions

Houses of worship have creative ideas for their annual productions and may need your expertise. Now is the perfect time to reach out to your current HOW clients to explore any updates to their AV systems that could enhance the quality and enjoyment of their productions—without overburdening their staff or budget. Scaling video equipment for a holiday production requires a careful balance between performance and practicality.

Here are a few pointers to help you and your HOW customers find the ideal middle ground:

1. Identify the Scope: Seasonal or Permanent?
Will the video system be used solely for the holidays or year-round? If it’s the latter, propose the flexibility and versatility of a projection system. During the holidays, this multipurpose option can project bright, vivid images of the choir onto a large standalone screen; throughout the year, it can display announcements on a smaller screen positioned above the altar. The projector’s position, lens, and screens can be adjusted to suit any occasion. For a singular holiday production, a temporary setup may be easier for HOW’s largely volunteer staff to manage.

2. Determine the Scale: Small and Simple or Large and Complex?
Will the video display be the centerpiece of the stage or a backdrop to complement a live performance with static images? Will performers stand in front of the screen? Where will the audience be seated? Will the production require one large screen or multiple displays? Answers to these questions, along with a clearly defined budget and timeframe, will help you gauge the best imaging technology (projection or LED display), the number of displays and/or projectors required, the size and composition of the imaging surface, and other details.

3. Consider the ROI: Rent or Own?
A quality projection system or LED video wall will undoubtedly brighten holiday production, but for some HOWs, renting the equipment may be a better option. Plus, by allowing your customers to try before they buy you relieve the stress of executing a system on a short timeframe and increase your chances of a sale later on.
