The remote control – essential for convenience and professionalism
A projector without a remote control is simply unthinkable today. If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, a remote is essential anyway – after all, you don't want to fetch the stepladder every time you want to operate the device. But mobile use of a projector also calls for external control if you want to move around freely during your talk or training session.
A matching remote control is usually included, but there are also replacement remotes in many price ranges, even with a display and touchscreen. When choosing the projector or an additional control unit, make sure that all the functions you need are available. In any case, the control should be able to do more than just switch the projector on or off. A media control lets you choose the source, such as a computer or TV. If you use a network, network control is handy. For training and education, remotes with an integrated laser pointer are ideal, as they can also control the connected laptop automatically to guide you through the presentation.
Click here for replacement remotes. Multifunctional remotes can often do much more than media or network control. Motorised screens, for example, are automatically lowered or raised when the projector is switched on or off. If your projector is equipped for it, control via a smartphone app is already possible today. Back to technical terms
