Straight swap projectors for Smartboard ?

[wpsict]

Hi all, one of the sites we manage is looking to replace the aging/dead projectors they use with their UF45-680 smartboards. They currently use the (decade?) old projectors that came with them, Toshiba TDP-SB20's, and all of them are basically dead or near death, despite multiple lamp replacements, the image quality is terrible and the lamps burn out pretty quickly, so the school wants to buy some replacements.

 

They dont require much in the way of interactivity with the smartboards, it's mainly just bog standard projection they want. The problem we have is, the current ones use a mounting bracket that fits onto the smartboard arm, but looking at replacements, none of them have the same mounting points as the plate the old ones used, so a "straight swap" isn't technically possible.

 

The school doesnt have much money, so paying for complete new projection systems isnt really possible, hence the desire for a straight swap. Has anyone else had the same situation with these?
