Slide Show Sets
Slide Show Presentation Programs: This is a service for AIS affiliated iris clubs/societies providing the rental of 35mm slide show presentation programs; the purpose is to help these groups supplement their activity programs in an economical way and to provide them with tools to use for garden club and other flower organization programs. There are a wide assortment of program titles available and these continually evolve and change. *See listing provided below for the currently available slide show presentation programs. CD Photo Presentation Programs: Something new from the AIS are CD photo presentation programs. AIS has available for purchase by members and non-members CD photo presentation programs similar to the 35 mm slide presentation programs. The CDs are self starting and have a "slide" list provided with them. *See the listing provided below for the currently available CD photo presentation programs. Digital Projection Unit/Digital Slide Show Presentation: The AIS now has available for rental a LCD digital projection unit. This type of projector, attached to a laptop computer, will project your digital images onto a standard projection screen (or any white surface) and make a very entertaining presentation. *Full detailed information on obtaining and rental of this unit is provided in the section below.

See below for more on this. Digital Projection Unit/Digital Slide Show Presentation: Digital cameras are everywhere these days. However digital pictures do present somewhat of a problem for us. That problem is; how do you get your digital pictures into your 35mm slide projector for that upcoming presentation? The answer to that particular question used to be: “Not very easily, at great expense, and in most cases, it would not look very good.” There is however, a very elegant solution—a digital projector, otherwise known as a LCD projector. These projectors, attached to a laptop computer, will project your digital images onto a standard slide projection screen (or any white surface) and make a very entertaining presentation. Now another problem (but also a solution). The problem is that they are expensive; both to buy and to rent. The projectors run from $700.00 to thousands of dollars to buy, or anywhere from $250 to $700 per day to rent. However, we have a solution. The Electronic Services Committee of the American Iris Society has purchased a LCD projector for organizations to use to make presentations. There is a cost associated with using it of course, but it is a lot less than renting one on the open market. It is easy to use and does a fine job. If you are an AIS affiliated club, AIS Region, Section or Cooperating Society you may have access to the projector. Fees: There is a rental fee of $25.00. (For conventions the fee is $25 per presentation or $150 for unlimited use during the dates of the convention.) You must also pay shipping in both directions. Shipping must be done by a method that is insured and has a tracking mechanism (USPS Priority Mail with Delivery certification is acceptable). For purposes of estimating the cost, the package weight is about 13 pounds and is 20 X 16 X 16. It should be insured for $800.00. UPS, FedEx, Airborne etc are also acceptable but probably more expensive. There is a requirement to leave a damage deposit of $800.00 and this generally accomplished by the use of a credit card that will accept a pre-authorization of that amount. You may cover the damage deposit with a check as long as the check can be deposited and clear prior to shipping. A refund check will be issued when the projector is returned in proper order. You will need to provide your own laptop computer and you will very likely want to put your pictures into some sort of presentation program. Microsoft PowerPoint is one of the easiest to use and readily available (but there are others). Hooking the unit up is straight forward, and getting it started is easy. Additionally, phone consultation is available. It is recommended that you do a test set-up a couple of days prior to your presentation day just to make sure all the "technical difficulties/bugs" are out. To reserve the unit or get further
