    The term you are looking for is LCD Projector, they do work off a
    computer, or some other input device such as thumb drive or TV tuner. 


    Get as high a lumen count as you can afford and hi aspect ratio.
    Whatever you use for an optical device, if you can show it on a
    computer screen, you can display it on a wall with one of these. My
    purpose in it was showing techs how they could repair wave guides in
    the field under adverse working conditions and get the equipment back
    up with a very small flight friendly kit. Wave guides are silver
    soldered and these units used a coated aluminum as wave guides.
    Overheating was a major concern in their repair, being able to show
    the students the 'flash' that occurred was paramount to the training
    success. 

    The camera I used was an issued item from the photo shop with an AVI
    output, the camera had a 12X optical magnification and would display
    real time to my laptop. Unfortunately I do not remember the brand of
    camera. But I do remember that I could set it about 2 feet away from
    my station and still get a good quality display. 

Hope this helps.
Terry
