Diaporama
AV Group Is a unique club, which usually meets
on the second Monday of each month at 7.30pm in the Community
Centre in Kilmacolm, Inverclyde, Scotland. New members are always welcome. What
is a Diaporama? It is the medium of Audio Visual
Presentations, using projection techniques by either digital or slide projectors and a synchronised sound track to complete
the effect. What
does our name mean? The word Diaporama evolved from two
other words - Diapositive (French for a colour slide / transparency film) and
Diorama (a word that describes a wide overall view) and it is now widely
accepted as the proper description for presentations of this type. Who
are the members of Diaporama? The group was formed in 1988 by a
number of amateur photographers from the Renfrewshire / Inverclyde area, who pooled their
knowledge and expertise, to make and perform tape-slide presentations around the
country. What
equipment is required? The main requirements for a Diaporama
show is a projector system and a sound system.
The projection and sound are controlled so that they work together and never leave
the screen blank between images. The control signal comes from a laptop
computer or the sound
system, which sychronises the projectors to the sound track by means of a
digital electronic control from a cassette tape. A typical Diaporama sequence can last
about 5 - 12 minutes and can contain up to 100 slides. What more can I read or view?
