Short throw projection

Short Throw Projector Rentals — Louisville

Short throw and ultra-short throw projectors solve the most common Louisville event projection challenges — limited floor space at KICC exhibitor booths during ESX and EXPO! EXPO!, low ceilings in Omni Louisville Hotel and Hyatt Regency Louisville breakout rooms, and confined Humana, Norton Healthcare, and Brown-Forman training rooms where a standard throw projector would require positioning in the audience area.

Ultra-Short Throw (UST)

0.25:1 Throw Ratio

Floor or wall mount · projects from inches away

Ultra-short throw at 0.25:1 ratio projects a large image from a unit placed directly at the base of the screen — within 6 to 12 inches. Ideal for KICC exhibitor booth interactive walls at ESX and EXPO! EXPO! where a floor-standing unit eliminates all aisle-obstruction concerns. Effective for electronic security system configurators, event management software platform demos, and Humana and Norton Healthcare clinical technology interactive demonstrations where attendees touch and interact with the projected surface.

Short Throw (ST)

0.6:1 to 1.0:1 Throw Ratio

Flexible placement · 8–12 ft image from 6–8 ft

Standard short throw at 0.6:1 to 1.0:1 ratio for Omni Louisville Hotel and Hyatt Regency Louisville meeting rooms with limited rear throw space, Humana and Norton Healthcare corporate campus training rooms, and KICC breakout rooms where central projector placement would interrupt attendee flow.
