Short throw projectors

[mhy]

We're looking for some suggestions. Our head of drama has decided that they want a short-throw projector for our main stage area. They would like a throw of 9m x 4m, and the projector will be mounted around 4m away. We don't use projectors in our classrooms and only have one on-site that works as needed, so we aren't too sure what we are looking for. This will be mounted on our main production stage with lots of other production-grade lighting etc so it will need to be bright enough to cut through that...

 

Any help is appreciated.

The Epson laser range (https://gmav.co.uk/products/epson-eb-l200sx-xga-4-3-3600-lumes-laser-ultra-short-throw-projector) I'm sure you can get it in a wide screen version too, is meeting our needs in our main hall. You should be able to use a throw calculator such as this (https://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-PowerLite_L200SW-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc) to work out the throw distance.

 

Otherwise you'll be looking at theatre grade projectors.
