House of worship
House of worship: any building where congregations gather for prayer.
What is the “house of worship” industry?
There are approximately 400,000 facilities in the United States that fall under the category of “house of worship.” This is a growing market for which communication is the primary product. Professional displays and projectors can be used to more effectively convey intended messages to larger audiences, making it a potentially high-growth market.
Attention spans diminish daily. As a result, the need for eye appealing visual messages has become increasingly important. Home life, work and education all compete with house of worship for the consumer’s attention. Newer house of worship facilities are utilizing pro audio-visual products. Older facilities are upgrading their technology and trying to keep pace with the changing needs of the market.
Professional Display and Projector use for house of worship
Projectors can be used in a variety of different ways in this market. They can be used in the sanctuaries, outside the facilities and in auditoriums, foyers and lobbies. Projectors can be used to project song lyrics, Sunday school and education class materials, sermon graphics (video, text and pictures), sermon notes, presentations and pre-recorded video productions. Digital signage is also commonly used for directional information, sermon scheduling and notification of events. Digital signage provides these facilities with a cost-effective way of disseminating information without the associated printing costs. Please see the Digital Signage section for more information.
Hospitality
What is the hospitality industry?
Hospitality is a general term for a broad variety of service industries. These industries can include, but are not limited to: hotels, casinos, food service and tourism. The hospitality industry is approximately a 3.5 trillion dollar service sector within the global economy that’s continuously growing. The lodging industry is moving away from reliance on standalone products, moving instead toward investing in more complete technology solutions.
Why is the hospitality industry important to solution providers?
There are many applications for technology solutions within the hospitality industry. Restaurants use flat screen televisions and projection screens for sport broadcasts and digital signage to attract patrons with menu items and specials. Many mount manufacturers create mounts specifically for these applications that include security locks and wire management. Lodging uses technology solutions in almost every aspect of their business. Most lodging businesses use wireless Internet and digital signage to impart directional and event information, projectors for conference rooms, boardroom and auditoriums and flat screen televisions for in-room entertainment.
Classrooms/Boardrooms and Video Conference
Why use projectors for conference rooms, boardrooms and classrooms?
Projectors are a powerful tool in conference rooms and boardrooms. Using a projector allows meeting attendees to evaluate more information and define solutions sooner. Projectors can be used to display fine print text or photographic images, integral 3D objects and powerful multimedia presentations. They can also be used for videoconferencing and can be integrated in front and rear installations.
In classrooms, teachers are utilizing new technology to make learning more interactive. Instead of students huddling around a computer screen to see presentations, projectors are becoming the centerpiece of classroom technology. In addition, new wireless projector systems free teachers from cables and wiring, allowing them to move about the classroom and engage with students rather than having to maintain a static position near a projector or notebook.
Video Conferencing
Video conferencing enables users to give and receive information via a video feed over distances. This technology is a choice communication tool as it allows users to meet with each other remotely, eliminating travel time, expenses and stresses.

Help your customers leverage video conferencing to collaborate over distances, hold meetings with members who are scattered across the globe, offer interactive training and instruction to remote areas and avoid travel expenses, stresses and time.
Users can increase their productivity and profitability with video conferencing by holding video conference meetings instead of meeting face to face; this automatically saves the expense of paying for travel fees and increases productivity by saving time that would otherwise be spent en route to meetings.
Professional Display and Projector Solutions
There is a wide array of available solutions depending on the need. The basic tools needed are a projector, screen and mount. In large boardrooms and venues, the number of lumens required increases as the presentation area increases. Higher resolution is needed for detailed charts, graphs and spread sheets with small figures. For smaller venues, a presentation cart may be used with a flat panel display and can even be combined with video conferencing equipment.
