Technology Held Hostage!




Headline: Technology Held Hostage!

Sometimes technology invites creativity.  Here you can see a Projector with it's support frame in place as if it was going to hang from a ceiling, "bound" by rope, on an empty binder, on-top of a wooden box, on a milk crate!  All this to allow "mobility" and wall projection.

When projectors are "hung" from a ceiling, a support frame is used most off to allow then to be "hung"  (or suspended) at an adjustable height.  The support frame is attached to the base of the projector, so the output is "flipped" (turned upside-down).  If you look closely on the front of the projector in the picture, you'll see "Epson" upside-down.

By doing a "reset" on the projector (from the Menu), it's possible to "flip" the picture back, and now you have a "regular" projector!

Why? You might ask.  First off, by today's standards, VGA is a "low resolution" standard.  The projector connection also required a USB to the audio systems of the device presenting so not one but TWO cables were required to the device.  One of a laptops or tablets strength is "portability", but when tethered to a projector, it looked more like astronaut to a space station; very limited "portability".   (Along with the cords looking like a lifeline!) Enter HDMI .... "HDMI  ( High-Definition Multimedia Interface ) is a  proprietary  audio/video  interface  for transmitting  uncompressed video  data and compressed or uncompressed  digital a...
