Packaged in a rugged flight case, the pop-up rear projection display offers optical technology that can be readily transported and set up by unskilled staff inside two minutes. Its full 90" image area (33% larger than 84in plasma) utilises dnp screen technology and is designed to take standard Sanyo and Panasonic projectors. A patch panel enables it to accept all standard input sources (PC, video, audio).
The Trojan series is also 'truck-pack friendly', equipped to be transported by standard high-roof vehicles such as the Mercedes Sprinter.
John Shreeve of The Big Picture Company agrees that the biggest assets of the media display are its portability (it could be stored easily offsite and wheeled into position as required) and ease of installation, with no engineers required.
"The display also offers tremendous brightness - essential in a building with so much glazing - and excellent viewing off axis; the fact that it will take a feed from any source gives it enormous flexibility."
Paradigm Audio Visual also had a second Trojan 90 out nearer to their Bedford base, allowing part of the city's 14,000 Italian population to cheer their country on during the final. Paradigm sited the display at the Italian Church Hall where some 200 people watched the final.
The system was set-up and project managed by the company's Steve Pratt and Tilly Perrone.
