Cohousing-L Mailing List: AV systems in the Common House

[DEL HOLLAND (delholland]

Before we had a Common House, we, over time, had a couple of good quality 
digital projectors.  The primary advantage of them, now in hindsight, was that 
we could take them anywhere we were holding a meeting; the public library, a 
coffee shop or even set up in one of our homes.  Now, we have a large screen 
TV, mounted on a cart that mostly gets used in our living room for putting up 
meeting agendas, showing pictures, or watching videos or Iowa women’s 
basketball. :). If we need a larger venue for a meeting, we roll the cart out 
into our dining room.  With the computer driving what is shown, one is able to 
enlarge print so all can see and read.  We have not used the digital projector 
for years.

PS Related: sound dampening in larger areas is vital.  We have Tectum on the 
ceiling in the dining room.  It works very well
