Presentation Equipment

Projectors

The Canon LV-7265 projectors weigh 6.8 lbs each. Features include 2500 lumens, 1.6 wide angle zoom and impressive 600:1 contrast ratio. Purchased April 2007. These units are bigger than the M2+ model, but offer higher quality display for scientific and medical images.

The ASK Proxima M2+ projectors connect to laptops, PCs, DVD players, VCRs and other sources. Only 2.4 lbs., 1400 max lumens, and XGA (1024x768) resolution. Features keystone adjustment and remote control with zoom capability and buttons to navigate PowerPoint presentations. Purchased May 2005. For the manual, see http://www.askproxima.com/service/m2/downloads/M2+UG_English.pdf.

Portable Screen

The 50" x 50" portable screen by Da-Lite has a keystone eliminator that tilts the screen forward to compensate for distorted images. It rolls into self-contained heavy-duty carry case. Handle protrudes for easy carrying.For more information on screens, visit the Da-Lite website http://www.dalite.com/products/catalog.php.

Laptops

All Dell laptops have carrying cases, wireless capability, MS Office, CD/DVD drive and USB ports for memory sticks.

Memory Stick issues? If you can't read your memory stick on the loaner laptops, in most cases this is because the user used proprietary software (included with their memory stick) to protect (encrypt or read-protect) the data. They will need to undo this protection - CRG is unable to accommodate all the varieties of software and permissions/privileges required to unlock memory sticks that have been protected in this way.

Security Cables for Laptops and Projectors

Kensington security cables are issued with all laptops and projectors checked out from the InTech Lab. The cables work with the Kensington security slot found on our laptops and projectors. Strong, 6 foot steel cable loops around immovable object. Insert key, twist, and it's locked! For more information, visit the Kensington website at http://www.kensington.com/html/1098.html.
