Lenses, Screens & Accessories
Every Barco projector rental from Ashley Systems comes with access to our full lens library — ultra-short-throw, short-throw, standard, and long-throw options — so we can match the exact throw distance of your venue. We also stock front-projection screens, rear-projection surfaces, and rigging hardware for ceiling, truss, and balcony mounting.
Projector Rental Use Cases
Corporate Galas & Product Launches
A 22,000-lumen Barco projector paired with a 16-foot screen transforms any Manhattan ballroom into a cinematic presentation environment. We’ve delivered projection for Fortune 500 product launches, investor events, and CEO keynotes where image quality and reliability are paramount.
Projection Mapping
Projection mapping demands serious lumen output and precise alignment. Our UDM-4K30 projectors are the standard choice for building-facade mapping, stage set mapping, and immersive environments. Ashley Systems provides the media servers, alignment, and on-site engineering to execute complex multi-projector mapping installations.
Outdoor Cinema & Screenings
From rooftop movie nights in Brooklyn to branded outdoor screenings in Central Park, our high-lumen Barco projectors deliver vivid images even before full darkness. We pair the projector with the right screen, audio, and power distribution for a turnkey outdoor cinema package.
Fashion Shows & Art Installations
We’ve provided Barco projector rentals for fashion events with Gucci and Jean Paul Gaultier, and for art installations at institutions like MoMA PS1 — environments where color fidelity and seamless blending define the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a projector rental cost in NYC?
Professional projector rentals start at $500/day for the Barco G62-W9, a 9,000-ISO-lumen WUXGA laser projector, and $1,000/day for the Barco I600-4K15 with 14,000 ISO lumens of 4K output. Our flagship large-venue units — the 22,000-lumen UDM-4K22 and 27,000-lumen UDM-4K30 — are quoted per production, since lens selection, rigging, and crew depend on the venue. Every rental includes the right lens from our library, and delivery, setup, and alignment are itemized in the quote.
How many lumens do I need for my event?
It depends on screen size and how much ambient light you’re fighting. As a working guide from our fleet: 9,000 lumens (Barco G62-W9) covers boardrooms, screening rooms, and controlled-light environments; 14,000 lumens (I600-4K15) handles mid-size ballrooms, conference stages, and houses of worship; and 22,000–27,000 lumens (UDM-4K22/4K30) is the territory of large galas, concert IMAG, projection mapping, and outdoor screenings. Our engineers run the actual brightness and throw-distance calculations for your screen and room before we recommend a unit.
Is a lens included with the projector rental?
Yes — every Barco rental includes lens selection from our full library, covering throw ratios from 0.36:1 ultra-short-throw to 10.8:1 long-throw. We calculate the throw distance from your venue drawings or a site survey and send the projector out with the correct lens mounted and tested, whether that means an ultra-short-throw for a shallow backstage position or a long-throw shot from a balcony booth. You never need to figure out lens math yourself — that’s our job.
Do you rent projection screens too?
Yes — we stock front-projection and rear-projection surfaces in multiple sizes, plus the rigging hardware for truss, ceiling, and ground-supported mounting. Rear projection hides the projector and lets presenters walk the stage without casting shadows; front projection maximizes brightness from the same unit. For smaller rooms where a screen isn’t the right call, our Samsung QB-series 4K commercial displays (55″–85″) are a clean alternative. Tell us the room and audience layout and we’ll spec screen size, surface, and mounting together with the projector.
Should I rent a projector or an LED wall?
If you control the lighting, projection is hard to beat on price per square foot — keynotes, cinema screenings, and projection mapping all favor a high-lumen Barco and a good screen. If the room stays bright, or the event is outdoors before dusk, an LED wall wins: it produces its own light and holds contrast in conditions that wash projection out. We stock both, so the recommendation follows your venue and content rather than our inventory. See our LED wall rental page for the other side of the comparison.
Can your projectors do projection mapping?
Yes — projection mapping is a core use of our UDM fleet. The UDM-4K30 is our standard choice for building-facade mapping, stage set mapping, and immersive environments, and Ashley Systems provides the media servers, warping and blending, multi-projector alignment, and on-site engineering to execute it. Complex mapping starts with a site survey so we can plan projector positions, lens selection, and content resolution before load-in. We’ve supported fashion events with Gucci and Jean Paul Gaultier and installations at MoMA PS1 where alignment and color fidelity defined the result.
Can I rent a projector for an outdoor movie night?
Yes — from rooftop screenings in Brooklyn to branded outdoor events, high-lumen laser projection works outdoors once dusk settles. We deliver it as a turnkey package: projector, screen, sound system, power distribution, and a weather plan, with an operator on-site if you want one. The main planning variables are screen size, ambient light from surrounding buildings, and wind load on the screen — all things we resolve in advance rather than on the night.
How quickly can you deliver a projector in NYC?
Same-day delivery is often possible for the G62-W9 and I600-4K15 across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Long Island — our warehouse is in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. For the large-venue UDM series, book 2–4 weeks ahead, and earlier during peak season (September–December and Fashion Week), since those units are committed to productions well in advance. Call (718) 218-5941 for a same-day availability check.
