New Club Projector: Epson EX5210

Goodyear Toastmasters has recently purchased a brand new Epson EX5210 projector which can be used by any club member to assist them with their speech, lesson, viewpoint, debate or other presentation when using visual aids.

epson-ex5210


This incredible new projector has some great features which give it a competitive edge over the old one.
  • 1024 x 748 screen resolution.
  • An HDMI connection port for advanced technical presentations.
  • Easy to use plug & play setup requiring little to no preparation when hooking up to your laptop.
  • Built in LOUD speakers ensuring your audio presentations are heard throughout the room.
  • Can present with a USB stick only (no need to bring your laptop!)
    • The projector can ONLY play image files such as .jpg off of a USB stick. It will be unable to play your PowerPoint or video presentation unless you bring a laptop. To do a USB presentation ensure all of your slides are in .jpg format in a folder that is easy to access on your USB stick.
  • Two remotes which allow you to control your presentation from a distance.
  • A built in laser pointer on one of the remotes.

To use the projector in your presentation please arrange with your Sergeant at Arms and meeting Chair and/or Toastmaster prior to the meeting.

If you have any questions please leave them in a comment on this post and we will gladly answer them for you.

YES, I DID IT!

posted by Leila Bates




I thought this was so appropriate for Speakers. We all know the self inflicted barriers we have to overcome to become the "YES, I DID IT" person.  The fact is we need to adapt, keep moving and invariably, we will all reach the top.
