BenQ Laser Projectors - The recipe for successful conferences at the Romantik Hotel Hirschen

Overview

The Problem

Four conference rooms are particularly flooded with light and therefore represent a challenge for presentation technology. Until now, Romantik Hotel Hirschen used projectors with conventional lamps as a light source. However, the displayed content was only clearly visible if the rooms were sufficiently darkened. In addition, the image resolution with WXGA (Wide XGA, 1280x800 pixels) no longer corresponded to the current state of the art and the lamps would have had to be replaced again due to their low power duration of a maximum of 2,000 hours.

The Solution

In order to counteract this short investment interval in the future and to make modern presentation systems available to the seminar organizers, Hirschenhotels decided to replace the projectors in certain conference rooms. They turned to ONLINE SYSTEMHAUS M-Medientechnik GmbH for advice and later technical implementation. The system house from Berg near Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) specializes in products in the field of media and event technology and established contact with BenQ. As a BenQ AV partner, M-Medientechnik is familiar with the manufacturer's solution portfolio and was therefore able to assess that its projectors fully meet the requirements of Hirschenhotels. At an on-site presentation, the features of the Pro-AV model LU9235 were, in the end, convincing.

The Result

The new laser projectors with their high WUXGA resolution (1920x1200 pixels) deliver significantly better contrast and detailed image sharpness. "Even when the conference rooms are fully occupied, everyone can still perfectly see the content displayed," says Johannes Hausen, Managing Director of Romantik Hotel Hirschen. "The feedback from the lecturers and seminar participants is very positive. Due to the installation of the laser projectors, hardly any darkening is necessary, which of course makes working more effective. Furthermore, there are no follow-up costs thanks to the maintenance-free laser light sources. Our customers from the automotive industry especially support the high resolution and brightness of the BlueCore lasers."

Project

The displayed content was clearly visible even the rooms were flooded with light.

Challenge

Hirschenhotels are not only known for their excellent cuisine and an extensive wellness offer that leaves nothing to be desired—they are also among the top 100 conference hotels in the category 'under 100 rooms'. Located in Parsberg in the Upper Palatinate district of Neumarkt, the three hotels in the Hirschen area offer plenty of space for workshops, seminars, and conferences. A total of ten conference rooms with a size of between 35 and 144 m2 are available, which are mainly rented to renowned companies in the automotive industry.

Four conference rooms are particularly flooded with light and therefore represent a challenge for presentation technology. Until now, Romantik Hotel Hirschen used projectors with conventional lamps as a light source. However, the displayed content was only clearly visible if the rooms were sufficiently darkened. In addition, the image resolution with WXGA (Wide XGA, 1280x800 pixels) no longer corresponded to the current state of the art and the lamps would have had to be replaced again due to their low power duration of a maximum of 2,000 hours.

The Solution

With a brightness of up to 6,000 ANSI lumens in the BenQ LU9235 and a contrast ratio of 100,000:1, the laser projectors ensure a sharp and vivid image. In addition, the BlueCore laser offers high color quality and is particularly durable.

"The performance time of the laser light source is many times longer than that of conventional lamps," explains Gert Stein, Sales Manager at M-Medientechnik. "The BlueCore system lasts up to 20,000 hours without color decay." The experts from M-Medientechnik installed a total of four LU9235 projectors. The room equipment was also adapted to the new projectors. New screens in 16:10 format ensure that the projected images are displayed completely on one surface.

In addition, the ceiling mountings for the larger BenQ units were replaced.

The Result

Today, the award-winning conference hotel offers its guests and seminar participants a professional presentation environment with state-of-the-art technology. Due to the installation of the laser projectors, it is hardly necessary to darken the conference rooms. Moreover, thanks to the maintenance-free laser light sources, there are no more follow-up costs.
