Clayesmore School and BenQ Large Venue Projector PU9730

Mr. Hugh Symons, who is in charge of managing Clayesmore Chapel’s AV installation, requested BenQ to accompany his engineers to an on-site assessment, since they have long relied on BenQ’s high quality products for large-scale installations. Once on site, the team noticed a space behind the organ pipes and BenQ suggested the school to build a bespoke table in the small room behind the organs, and then set PU9730 on top of the table. This unique set-up guaranteed that when in operation, only the lamp light from the projector would be visible, while the projector itself remained hidden, ensuring optimum distance from the screen.

According to Royce Lye, General Manager at BenQ, said that the versatility of PU9730 allowed the team to set the projector at a unusual place, and the variation of throw ratio offered superb flexibility when it came to location. Additionally, the combination of powered zoom, focus and the lens shift system ensured flawlessly proportioned images despite placement challenges. And because of the smaller size of PU9730, the school could easily access and move the projector around without having to rely on bulky transportation equipment.

PU9730’s 7000 ANSI lumen unit enabled the projector to produce clear and sharp images from 19m away while successfully combat the excessive amount of light in the chapel. Besides, the school needed a solution that had low maintenance risk while being very reliable because of the placement of PU9730. Its dual lamp system, which guaranteed continuous operation even when one lamp burns out, made it the obvious choice for the school.

Lastly, the advanced air-cooled projection let the projector’s operating temperature remain under control even when it was placed in a confined space. It also prevented thermal damage and constant repair costs from happening.

The staff from Clayesmore School and the team from Hugh Symons were all satisfied with the results delivered by PU9730. “We are extremely pleased with the performance of PU9730, and the quick adaptability and skillfulness of BenQ,” said Alicia Asquith, account manager at Hugh Symons. “The projector does exactly what we need it to do under the difficult space condition.”

Mike Dyer, Bursar at Clayesmore School emphasized that the projector met the goal of not being visible after installation and the foldability of the projection screen also makes set-up and maintenance much easier and smooth. On top of that, the sharp, clear and bright images projected by PU9730 and its durable lens ensure the school can enjoy superb performance of the projector without having to modify the space or bear with compromised image qualities.
