Large-Format Projection
for Classrooms and Boardrooms.

Short-throw, ultra-short-throw, and laser projectors for schools and businesses — sharp images, easy installation, and long-term reliability. Supplied and professionally installed by Ambiant across New Zealand.

WHY PROJECTORS

Big Picture.
Bigger Impact.

For spaces that need large-format display without the cost of a full video wall — projectors deliver impressive image sizes at a fraction of the price. Modern laser projectors eliminate lamp replacement costs and deliver 20,000+ hours of use with consistent brightness.

 

Ambiant helps you choose the right throw distance, brightness, and resolution for your specific room — and handles the installation so the image is perfectly aligned and the cables are hidden.

Standard Throw Projectors

Traditional projectors positioned 2–5 metres from the screen — cost-effective and versatile for rooms with ceiling mounting space above the audience.

Best For

Lecture theatres, large meeting rooms

Short-Throw Projectors

Project a large image from close range — ideal when ceiling mounting isn’t practical or when you need to avoid shadow interference from presenters.

Best For

Classrooms, boardrooms, training rooms

Ultra-Short-Throw (UST) Projectors

Positioned directly below the screen surface, UST projectors eliminate shadows entirely — perfect for interactive whiteboard setups and space-constrained installations.

Best For

Classrooms, huddle rooms, small spaces

Laser Projectors

Lamp-free laser light source delivers 20,000+ hours of consistent brightness — no bulb replacements, lower total cost of ownership, and always-sharp imaging.

Best For

High-use classrooms, corporate, permanent installs

Projector + Screen Packages

Matched projector and screen combinations — motorised, fixed frame, or pull-down — installed as a complete system with correct gain and sizing for your room.

Best For

All environments

Interactive Projection

Projectors paired with touch overlay or interactive software — a cost-effective alternative to interactive flat panels for larger display sizes.

Best For

Classrooms, training rooms

Consideration What to Look For Ambient Recommendation
Room size Throw ratio determines image size at a given distance We calculate throw ratio for your room during site visit
Ambient light Lumens (brightness) must overcome room lighting 3,000–5,000 lm for classrooms; 5,000+ for bright boardrooms
Resolution XGA (1024×768) vs Full HD vs 4K Full HD minimum for business; 4K for premium boardrooms
Lamp vs Laser Lamp: lower upfront cost.
Laser: lower total cost of ownership
Laser recommended for high-use environments (schools, corporate)
Throw type Standard, short-throw, or ultra-short-throw Determined by room depth and ceiling mount availability

FAQ

Common Questions About Projectors

Answers to the questions we get asked most.
What's the difference between short-throw and ultra-short-throw projectors?
Short-throw projectors sit close to the screen to reduce shadows and suit classrooms, boardrooms, and training rooms. Ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors sit directly below the screen, virtually eliminating shadows, and are typically paired with interactive whiteboards or used in smaller spaces where even a short throw distance isn’t practical.
For high-use environments like schools and corporate meeting rooms, generally yes — laser projectors are lamp-free and deliver 20,000+ hours of consistent brightness, removing the recurring cost and downtime of lamp replacements that standard projectors require.
As a guide, 3,000–5,000 lumens suits typical classrooms, while bright boardrooms with ambient light generally need 5,000+ lumens — the right figure depends on room lighting and screen size, which is assessed during consultation.
Full HD is generally sufficient for standard business use, while 4K is recommended for premium spaces where image detail matters more, such as design studios or executive presentation rooms.
Yes, projector and screen packages are available in motorised, fixed frame, or pull-down formats, so the screen and projector can be specified and installed together as a matched system.
Installation includes site assessment, mounting, screen supply if needed, input switching setup, image calibration, colour calibration, and user training, so the finished setup is tested and ready to use rather than just physically in place.
