The Different Types of Audio Visual Presentation Equipment

If you need help in being productive, the answer is the use of Audio Visual Presentation Equipment. There is a wide selection at most of the online web stores. These sites are user-friendly, and you can easily browse through and select the items you may need. These items range from the simple flip chart, to overhead projectors as well as the more complex LCD/DLP projectors.

Some business companies are yet comfortable using the olden day’s equipment – and these are yet freely available. However, with the advancement of technology there is a wide range of the latest models as well. These websites offer very competitive prices and a personalised service. You can always expect them to help you in choosing the most appropriate equipment depending on your presentation.

Given below is a list of some of the basic Audio Visual Presentation Equipment and its details:

LCD Projectors

There is a range of them with a wide choice of specifications. You can choose a projector based on the capacity of lighting that you will require, the clearness of the image, resolution, zooming power and so much more. The rental charge will depend on the quality and brand of the projector.

Overhead Projectors

An overhead projector is very basic but is one of the most reliable projectors which are widely used today. This projector displays an image to a much larger proportion onto a screen or onto any white surface, making it possible for the audience to view even from a distance. The prime function of this projector is to enlarge images for easy viewing by the participants/audience. These images are made on transparencies.

TV and Video

Televisions and videos are an important part of Audio Visual Presentation Equipment. They are available in a wide range with built-in DVD players.

Projection Screens

A projection screen is a surface and a support structure used to display a projected image so that the audience can conveniently view the image. These screens are available as wall screens and tripods.

AV Trolleys

AV Trolleys are required for overhead projectors, television and any other equipment.

Other Presentation Equipment

These include microphones, CD Radio Cassette players, remote controls, pointers, conference kits and much more.

Computer Based Displays

Computer based displays are also commonly used for audio visual presentations. These can be on the laptop and presented via data projectors. Computer-based presentations are more professional and modern. They are more modern and advanced than the slides that were used in the past; making a smooth transition. These visuals can be enhanced with the use of sounds and videos.

Designing Visuals

Good designs will give you good brand image and help get your marketing message across effectively. The preparation of audio visuals can be handed out to a professional, if you are facing time constraints. Design agencies are very competent in carrying out these types of jobs. A professional will always know how best to design your visual and it is best that they are kept simple and uncluttered.

Today the world expects more visual than audio. Many decades ago visual equipment were not very well known. Television, computers, films now play a vital role in every person’s daily lives.

How to Effectively Open Your Presentation

In your opening you need to introduce yourself and your topic without losing your audience to daydreaming. People often meander into their speech and start by telling the audience what they are going to talk about in a sloppy manner – it’s too late, you have lost them already!

Statistics say you have sixty-seconds to capture an audiences attention – making that initial approach the most important. Captivating your viewers instantaneously will maximize the effectiveness of your presentation.

You are the entertainer to your audience so don’t be afraid to get visual! Here are five great ways to open your presentation that appeal to a variety of different audiences:

1. Quotes

  • People love shared wisdom – and if it comes from a valuable source that gives it great credibility.
  • Reference how it relates to your speech. A brief explanation can pull it all together.
  • Keep a log of great quotes as they come along – they could do great use in an upcoming presentation!

2. Statistics

  • First off, find your information from a trusted source and keep it relevant to your speech.
  • If used correctly it can be a viable piece.
  • A great way to capture Orange personalities (for those who are a fan of the True Colors Personality Assessment).

3. Questions

  • Sometimes a simple “How is everyone doing today?” can make your speech feel like a conversation between you and your audience.
  • Your viewers will feel connected and important to have become a part of the presentation and gives them a sense of power while you’re doing all the chatting.

4. Stories

  • We have been taught to love stories since we were children – we crave them because we all have them.
  • Don’t be afraid to make one up -it’s important to keep it relevant.
  • If it is a story dear to your heart it will allow the audience to connect with you on a personal level.
  • Create a friendly stance as if it were a conversation between just you and one other viewer. A great way to make them feel special and as a contributor to the speech.
  • Do your very best to “paint a picture” for your audience.

5. Humor

  • This can be quite a grey area but can also be very powerful. Remember, no joke is better than an unsuccessful one.
  • A humorous visual can be a great idea – laughter creates positive energy!

In conclusion, your opening line sets the overall performance. Take a light approach and make it drop like a bomb! Also, by starting with a bang, you can release your elevated levels of adrenaline racing through your body, allowing the pace to settle down so that you can relax into your talk. A plus for you and your audience – everyone wins!

Hope you found these tips useful!

How to Get Perfect Abs, Surprisingly it is Really About Presentation!

To get the perfect abs, you need to begin thinking about the task differently. In most peoples minds, images of sweating and groveling on the floor come to mind. However, if you approach it intelligently, you can really get a perfect set of abs without too much trouble or work.

To approach the task intelligently, first lets look at what we are really tying to accomplish then we can formulate a good way to complete our goal in the easiest and simplest way possible.

Abs are actually less about hard work and more about presentation. To illustrate the concept, let me give you an analogy. Lets pretend we got our mountain bike out of the shed and placed it on the ground laying it side ways. Then we take a thin blanket and cast it across the mountain bike. Immediately after the blanket settles we can see the bike. The bike is still familiar to make out. We can see the outline of the wheels and the peddles are sticking up through the blanket. The handle bars are easy to make out too because we can guess whats under the thin blanket, by seeing the clues and shapes of the bike.

Now lets try this again, but this time we remove the thin blanket and instead throw on a mattress. The thick mattress covers the bike entirely and gives absolutely no clue what is under that thick mattress. There are no shapes at all to make out. Just a mattress.

The fat layer you have over your abs can be like the thin blanket or like the thick heavy mattress. If it is like the thick mattress then you have no definition. The abs are actually a large muscle group that is easily trained and responds quite well to stimulation. You can literally create a desirable set of abs quite quickly.

For most people, the hard work is uncovering those abs, so they show. Getting a perfect set of abs is about presentation. It’s about reducing your calorie intake and reducing your body fat percentage.
