Eiki International Projectors Descend from New Hope Presbyterian Church Ceiling – Commercial Integrator

New Hope Presbyterian Church (EPC) wanted enhance its visual presentation during services. The Fort Myers, Fla., house of worship turned to Cape Coral, Fla.-based Creative Sound and Lighting Solutions to design and install a solution that includes projectors by Eiki International, Inc.

The integration firm installed two Eiki EK-511W LCD projectors for the front and an EK-301W as a rear confidence monitor. However, the setup for the two front EK-511W projectors was no small challenge. They ended up being suspended from the lighting bars over the stage area to visually blend in and not attract attention, according to an Eiki International, Inc. press release.

The Eiki EK-511W projector offers 7,500 ANSI lumens brightness with 80 percent uniformity and a 2500:1 contrast ratio, which was crucial to this installation because of ambient light conditions, adds the manufacturer.

For the rear confidence projector, the Eiki EK-301W proved an outstanding choice, thanks to its horizontal and vertical corner Keystone correction.

The brightness of these EK-511W front projectors was crucial to the success of the installation, says Creative Sound owner Rob Robinson in the press release.

With all the ambient light throughout the sanctuary, we needed serious lumens (brightness) to blast through to those 10-foot wide screens with a 22-foot throw. Equally notable, we had to mount the EK-301W rear projector very high. This projector was positioned a good 15 feet above the rear screen, but with the amazing corner correction in the unit, the imagery fits on the screen perfectly.

The idea was to use projection technology to help engage and inspire the congregation and that required displaying a wide range of content, Robinson continues. They use ProPresenter, a church presentation software package designed to make high-quality worship experiences easyand with this they can easily project lyrics, images, and video in a very compelling manner. They also have a full-time livestream person in the projection booth who can place any camera shot up on the screens. As a result, there is a lot of compelling imagery throughout services.

With video projection technology, questions inevitably arise during most installations; so responsive, capable support services are crucial. When queried about Eikis support services, Robinson was very complimentary. Steve Rubery, Eikis National Sales Manager, was my guiding hand on this project, says Robinson. Steve was always there on the other end of the phone when I had questionseven with the East Coast / West Coast time difference. He always makes certain that were covered.

With the successful opening of services at New Hope Presbyterian Churchs new sanctuary, Robinson reports his client is very pleased with the Eiki projectors, Ive received numerous compliments from church management. Going from a single 2000 ANSI lumens projector to the new, dual projector setup was a significant upgrade. The images, videos, and other content on the screens is bright, vivid, and really grabs ones attentionall of which makes their services that much more interesting. This new projector setup really positions them well for many years to come.
