Projectors

The Brain Computer Corporation has supplied and installed AV and projection technology in the Philippines for over 37 years. For LED and DLP projector projects specifically, this means:
‍

The Brain Computer Corporation has worked with a wide range of clients, including the Department of Finance, Malacañang Palace, Makati City Hall, Department of Agrarian Reform, Bank of the Philippine Islands, IBM, Jollibee Foods Corp, and Convergys.

Yes. The Brain Computer Corporation serves clients across the Philippines, including key commercial centres in Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cavite, La Union, Bataan and other provincial and regional locations.

For projects outside Metro Manila, our team coordinates site visits, installation schedules, and after-sales support based on each project's specific location and requirements. Contact us to discuss your project location and we will advise on timelines and logistics.

Commercial projectors are classified along four independent axes — display technology, light source, throw distance, and application — and understanding this framework is the single most useful thing a buyer can learn before evaluating any specific model. These four axes don't compete with each other; a real-world projector is a combination of one choice from each category, and the right combination depends entirely on the room it will serve.

Display technology is the imaging method used to actually form the picture — most commonly DLP (Digital Light Processing, using a mirror chip) or LCD/3LCD (using liquid crystal panels). This determines image characteristics like contrast, colour rendering, and compactness.

Light source is what illuminates the imaging chip to produce light on screen — typically lamp, LED, or laser. This determines brightness ceiling, lifespan, and ongoing maintenance cost, independently of which display technology is used.

Throw distance is how far the projector must sit from the screen to produce a given image size — categorised as standard throw, short throw, or ultra-short throw (UST). This determines where the projector can physically be installed in a given room.

Application is the intended use context — classroom, boardroom/conference room, large venue/auditorium, home theatre, or portable/mobile use — which sets the practical target range for the other three specifications. A church sanctuary and a small huddle room have very different brightness and throw requirements even though both might use the same display technology and light source.

DLP (Digital Light Processing) is a display technology: the chip inside the projector that actually forms the picture. A DLP chip, called a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device), contains thousands to millions of microscopic mirrors that tilt rapidly to reflect light toward or away from the lens, building the projected image pixel by pixel.

‍LED, by contrast, is a light source: what illuminates that DLP chip (or, in other projector types, an LCD panel) to produce light in the first place. A projector's light source can be a traditional lamp, a laser, or LED, regardless of whether the imaging chip itself is DLP or LCD.

‍In practice, this means an "LED DLP projector" combines a choice from each axis: the DLP chip for image formation, and an LED light source to illuminate it — a pairing that has become one of the most common and well-regarded configurations for commercial and educational projectors, combining DLP's sharp, high-contrast image quality with LED's long lifespan and low maintenance.

Key advantages of DLP projectors include:
‍

An LED DLP projector's light source is typically rated for 20,000 to 30,000 hours before brightness degrades to half its original output. At a realistic commercial usage pattern of four hours per day, this translates to approximately 13 to 20 years of service before the light source requires attention — a dramatically longer service interval than a traditional lamp-based projector, which requires lamp replacement every one to three years under the same usage pattern.

Throw ratio is the relationship between the distance from the projector to the screen and the width of the projected image — calculated as distance divided by screen width. It determines how far back, or how close, a projector needs to be positioned to achieve a given screen size, directly shaping how a room can be laid out.

Ceiling-mounted installations are the standard configuration for permanent classroom and boardroom setups using standard or short-throw LED DLP models. They keep the projector out of reach, avoid obstruction from foot traffic, and require a structural assessment to confirm the ceiling can support the mount and unit weight, plus a planned cable run for power and signal.

‍Table or shelf-mounted installations are common for ultra-short-throw LED DLP units and portable setups, particularly relevant for rooms where ceiling access is restricted — heritage buildings, rented venues, or multi-purpose spaces. This configuration is faster to install and reposition.

Installation typically involves a site assessment to confirm throw distance, ceiling structure (for ceiling-mounted units), and ambient lighting conditions; mounting hardware installation calculated against the specific model's throw ratio and desired screen size; cable routing for power and video signal (HDMI or HDBaseT); and final calibration, including focus, keystone correction, and colour adjustment for the specific room and screen.

Yes, we have in-house technicians who handle installation, servicing, and technical support.

Having in-house service capability means that when a maintenance issue arises, the same team that installed your system is the team that comes to resolve it — with direct knowledge of your specific installation, its configuration, and its history.
