Edinburgh Projectors aka Warpro have been active in the supply of specialist projection equipment to the theatre market. We have extensive experience in this field and carry both Sanyo and Panasonic units in our hire stock, which are always available as emergency replacements in case of disaster - the show must go on!
We have no particular ties with any single supplier and this means that we offer the best equipment for the job in hand rather than the equipment that we get the best margin on. We can supply a complete projection solution including flying hardware, cables and flightcases. As we have practical experience of actually using the equipment we utilise time saving clever touches such as projector flightcases that allow you to leave the mounting plate attached (without any increase in case size) and wiring looms with data, power and control in one cable. These are the touches that make life slighlt easier if you tour the equipment.
Recent theatre clients include
Dogstar Theatre - Inverness
Sanyo XP100, additional lens, cable looms, flying hardware, flightcase.
Bridge Theatre - Glasgow.
Sanyo XP100 projector and additional lenses, flying bracket, cable and flightcase. This is the 2nd unit they have purchased and we demoed onsite aSanyo XP100, Sanyo XP200 and Panasonic 5700. There was remarkably little to chose between the 3 units with all having their own advantages. The decision was eventually based on the fact that The Bridge have an existing stock of lenses that fit the Sanyo.
