Applications

Overhead projectors like the Dukane 653 were a staple of classrooms, training rooms, and corporate conference rooms from the 1970s through the 1990s, used to project transparencies (acetate sheets) onto a screen or wall. Dukane's Audio Visual line was widely adopted by school districts and businesses across North America for its durability and image quality. Portable models like the 653 were designed to be carried between rooms or locations, folding the projection head down flat for transport. While digital projectors have largely replaced overhead projectors in new installations, these units remain in active use in schools, churches, community centers, and organizations that maintain transparency-based teaching materials or prefer the simplicity of the format. The 10x10 Fresnel stage is a standard size compatible with a wide range of commercially available transparency sheets and overlays.
