Hitachi CPx605 in ceiling mount in classroom

To use the projector:

  • connect the HDMI cable (for example) at the front of the classroom to the projecting device;
  • turn the projector on (on the bottom of the projector);
  • use the 'input' button to select the input (also on the bottom of the projector).

Specs:

  • Native resolution of 1024x768 at 4000 lumens (note that brightness matters more than resolution for a large lecture space)
  • Mounted on the ceiling with SVGA and HDMI connections available.
  • HDMI does not currently have sound (Uses proprietary M1-D adapter for HDMI connection) - could possibly add audio via HDMI audio breakout box

Needs:

  • Needs Ethernet hookup and IP control (webpage, app or similar) or replacement Hitach R002 Projector Remote if not delicately pushing buttons on the unit itself.
  • Needs Default Hackspace logo instead of generic HITACHI freeze-frame logo.
  • Needs digital labels for inputs set
  • Could use a colour calibration or similar.

Maintenance Info:

  • Replacement bulbs (Hitachi DT00771 and compatibles) are not too expensive on eBay - Prices range from 35 to 100 GBP.
  • Should not be removed or borrowed from the Hackspace
