Projectors

The Cathode Ray Tube; what you and I would call a projector; have been around for more than 100 years. The technology, invented by a German physicist, works quite simply. It uses a glass envelope which has an electron gun within it and is projected onto a fluorescent screen for viewing enjoyment. If you were a child in America in the 1980’s you probably remember in math class particularly, when the teacher would turn down the lights and pull down the projection screen to display triangles or write numbers so you could all copy them down, this was the same technology in use.

These allow for things like group presentations with images that are able to pop up on monitors as well as a larger screen for demonstration effect. Also if you’re situated for a tele-conference these units are well suited to broadcast and receive images using the proper software.
