North St. Paul, Minnesota, February 21, 2014 – The North St. Paul Community Center in Minnesota, which features a gymnasium, running track, and public library, can certainly be described as multi-purpose. But it’s the community center’s Fireside Room that, through a recent installation of Hitachi projectors, demonstrates the community center’s flexible use of media.
The Fireside Room accommodates 100 guests for any kind of meal, function or gathering. Divided by a center accordion wall that can be left open or closed to form two separate rooms, John Rudie of Provision Media Inc., was tasked with finding a solution that would maximize the versatile space’s entertainment potential.
“They wanted as big of a display screen as possible,” said Mr. Rudie. “But the folding wall presented the real challenge. We ended up installing two separate Hitachi CP-X5021N projectors firing from opposite walls that can be used to project the same image if the need arises.”
The Hitachi CP-X5021N 3LCD projectors feature XGA 1024 x 768 resolution and offer 5,000 ANSI lumens brightness.
“The Fireside Room had one west-facing wall nearly covered in windows,” said Mr. Rudie. “Knowing that these projectors will see a lot of use in the evening, the 5,000 ANSI lumens brightness was enough to counteract all that ambient light.”
The CP-X5021N projectors are regulated by Kramer control panels that make operation simple and intuitive for staff and guests alike.
“So much goes into every installation these days that it’s easy to forget about the core components,” said Mr. Rudie. “Hitachi projectors are the core component of every one of our installations. We’ve never been more satisfied with a projector and based on our feedback, neither have our customers.”
