DPS President David Trout LRPS announced at the Society’s AGM that we will be investing in a new, higher definition projector for the 2012 season.
David said,
“The photography world (the Royal Photographic Society, Photographic Alliance of Great Britain, the regional federations within the PAGB, and many International Salons of Photography) is moving to a new standard for projected digital images - from 1068x768 pixels to 1400x1050 pixels and it is essential for us to have a projector that can do justice to this new higher standard. After a great deal of research we have decided on a Canon model, which is the one that federations like PAGB, NCPF and SPF have as well as top flight lecturers such as Joe Cornish. Our current projector then becomes back-up.
Our existing laptops, and most others on the market, have graphics cards that cannot do justice to the new standard, specifically the 1050 pixel height, so we will also be purchasing a configered Sony Vaio laptop to drive the new machine.
It means members will be able to enjoy even better quality projection – brighter images with higher contrast ratio – and be working at the new standard for competitions, distinctions and internationals.”
Many people were involved in seeing this project to a successful conclusion. As well as the committee team led by Roger Culpin, DPS members Rob Birrell and Neil Maughan also made major technical contributions. We also took advice from outside the Society including from Libby Smith, who, as well as being President of Carluke CC, Scottish Photographic Federation President & Scottish Salon ChairmanPresident of the Scottish Photographic Federation and Scottish Salon Chairman, has become an expert in the complex world of digital projection, advising the PAGB, the SPF and other interested clubs. Our thanks go to all these people.
