The Village PA & Projector Fund has now been
put to good use with the purchase of a new
Toshiba TW420 projector (plus spare lamp). Many
thanks to all who contributed to make this
possible.
The key features of this projector are:
- 4000 lumens (meaning projector will still work well even before twilight – good to get the kiddies to bed earlier);
- 3000 hours of lamp life (in ECO mode – which would be the normal mode);
- Electronic and manual zoom and focus;
- Able to be connected to a network;
- Able to use a USB storage card (no laptop) for showing slide shows;
- Able to connect to a computer via wireless;
- Can take just about any media input;
- Has remote mouse and remote control (with laser pointer);
- Instant shutdown protection – for accidently pulled out chords or blackouts.
All in all a very neat unit – and in a solid carry case with a long power lead.
Now, as for booking the projector, please do one of two things:
1. Email me – I prefer you to send me an outlook calendar item which automatically will book you into my calendar;
2. Call me on 8557 6123, where you can book with myself or Bridget directly, or leave a message.
There are two types of bookings allowed:
1. AAEV use i.e. meetings, amphitheatre movies, other village business/functions. Can be used anywhere our Community business requires;
2. Private use on site – the projector cannot be taken out of the Village, and bookers must pay a maintenance fee of $5 to contribute towards an annual service for the projector, estimated at $150.
In either case, the user must be trained to use this specific projector – an A4 laminated cheat sheet will be provided, plus a once though guide by Michael or another trained user.
Any further questions, please call me.
