Missoula City Council Chambers upgrades with Eiki

Missoula City Council Chambers upgrades with Eiki

Known as the Garden City for its mild winters relative to the rest of Montana, the city of Missoula is comprised of six wards, all of which are overseen - from a governmental perspective - by the City Council Chambers. For the weekly city council meetings, sub-committee sessions, and other public hearings that take place there, the city government recently upgraded the house projection system with an EIP-UHS100 HD Widescreen DLP Projector drawn from the catalog of Santa Margarita, CA-based Eiki International, Inc.

 

EVCO Sound & Electronics of Spokane, WA was contracted to handle the Missoula City Council Chambers’ facility upgrade. EVCO Sales Engineer James Wasem, who oversees sales design and engineering, project management, and some installation for the company, discusses the nature of the Missoula City Council Chambers project.

 

According to Wasem, the new 8,000 lumen Eiki EIP-UHS100 DLP projector with an AH-CD20202 lens was a replacement for an aging 5,000 lumen LCD projector. “The new Eiki projector is used to display public hearing content that includes PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, photos, and other related content,” Wasem explaines.

 

“HD content is sent from a laptop computer via Extron DTP-series transceivers using a shielded CAT6A cable and is delivered to the projector’s HDMI input at 1920 x 1200 resolution. The new projector was installed in the existing ceiling mounted location, suspended about 12 feet from the floor and 19 feet from the screen. For this project, we used the Chief projector mount that was included with Eiki’s bundled installation package.”

 

The old projection screen in the City Council Chambers was a 4:3 aspect ratio motorized model. To accommodate the output of the Eiki EIP-UHS100 DLP projector, a new fixed Da-Snap screen manufactured by Da-Lite was deployed. This screen features a 164-inch diagonal 16:10 viewing surface.
