What does a video, screens and projection service include?
Event video services bring together display equipment and the technical support needed to show presentations, footage and other visual content clearly.
That might mean a large television screen for a meeting, a projector and screen for a conference, or multiple displays and a technician switching between video sources during an awards ceremony.
Hillside can help with screen and projector hire, mounting, setup, vision mixing and specialist projection. Tell us about the venue, audience and content; we can work out an appropriate solution from there.
Tell us about your event →Display options for different events.
The display you need depends on light levels, viewing distance, room layout and whether you are showing slides, video or live event content.

Big screens. Clear communication.
Hillside supplies flat-screen televisions and displays from approximately 30 to 100 inches. They can be positioned on professional Unicol stands or mounted on suitable truss structures, depending on the venue.
Displays work well for presentations, videos, conference content and information screens. They can also be useful in rooms with ambient light, where projection may be less practical.
The best screen size depends on the audience's viewing distance and the room layout — not simply on choosing the largest display.
Ask about large-screen hire →Projection that fits the occasion.
For straightforward presentations, Hillside can supply a compact projector with a pull-up tripod screen. For larger or more formal settings, professional fast-fold screens offer a tensioned projection surface in larger sizes.
Projection can suit meetings, conferences, theatre and performances, as well as more specialist uses such as outdoor cinema.
Brightness, ambient light, projection distance and the intended image size all influence the equipment selection.

Show the right content at the right moment.
When an event has more than one video source, Hillside can provide equipment to switch between presentations, pre-recorded video, laptops and other compatible inputs.
At larger awards ceremonies and productions, a dedicated video operator can manage the switching and check that screens are displaying the required content.
Different screens throughout a venue may have different roles — for example, main-stage presentations and guest information in the foyer.
Hillside has access to vision-mixing equipment and can source additional systems and specialist crew to suit a larger production.
Ask about vision mixing →Beyond the screen. Turn buildings into visual canvases.
Large-scale art projections can transform buildings, structures and public spaces into striking visual experiences.
Projection mapping shapes imagery around architectural features, using specialist projectors and, where necessary, edge blending to extend the image across larger surfaces.
Every project is considered around the building or surface, ambient lighting, available power, viewing distance and the artwork to be displayed.
Our team’s experience includes creative lighting and installation work.

Projector or flat screen? It depends.
A projector can produce a substantial image where lighting conditions and projection distance allow.
A large-format display is often a better choice where ambient light is difficult to control.
For outdoor events, direct sunlight can make both projectors and flat-screen displays difficult to see. A suitably bright display in a shaded position may work better than projection during daylight. We assess the location and viewing conditions before recommending equipment.
Hillside considers the actual viewing conditions, content and audience position before recommending a solution.
Video, Screens & Projections FAQs.
What size screen do I need for my event?
Screen size depends on audience numbers, viewing distance, venue layout and what you need to display. Tell Hillside about the space and content and we can recommend a suitable option.
Is a projector or a large TV better for a conference?
Projection can be useful for a large image in controlled light. Large-format TVs can work better in brighter rooms. The right choice depends on the venue and audience.
Can you hire out a projector and screen for a small meeting?
Yes. Hillside offers straightforward projection setups including compact projectors and tripod screens, with setup support where required.
Can you switch between several laptops and video clips?
Yes. Vision-mixing equipment can select between compatible video inputs during a presentation, conference or live event.
Do you provide multiple displays for awards ceremonies?
Hillside can arrange multiple screens and technical video operation for larger events, including displays in different parts of a venue.
Can you project images onto a building?
Yes. Hillside has experience in projection mapping using powerful laser projectors, with multiple units and edge blending where required.
What is art projection or projection mapping?
Art projection uses imagery and light to create visual effects on surfaces such as buildings and structures. Projection mapping goes further by aligning artwork to the shape and details of a specific surface. Requirements depend on content, brightness, distance and the location.
Will projection work in direct sunlight?
Direct sunlight makes projected images very difficult to see. Large-format displays may be more suitable, although sunlight can affect those too. The location should be assessed before choosing equipment.
Do I need a video technician?
Not for every event. A single straightforward display may need little operation, while multiple inputs, screens and scheduled content changes can benefit from a dedicated operator.

Hillside supports projects across Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, with travel elsewhere in the UK for suitable projects.
