CASIO: Meetings of tomorrow
CASIO is
striking a new path with its two Super Slim projectors XJ-S35 and XJ-S30. As
an ultimate discussion tool, the high-quality business projectors complement
both professional presentations and small rounds of talks in manageable
meeting rooms. Simple operability as well as the possibility of PC-less
presentation (only XJ-S35) with the CASIO Super Slim projectors bring
effective advantages. The 2-fold optical wide-angle zoom enables a projection
distance of only 84 cm; the vertical Keystone Correction automatically
rectifies distorted photos in the upper picture area. Now the parties
involved no longer have to group around a pile of fine print during contract
negotiations. The projector provides everyone with a photo with the same
content. So everyone is on the same level of information at all times and the
discussion can begin. Extremely short switch-on and -off phases guarantee
efficient time management: through the Direct Power On/Off function, the
users save time at every appointment that they can schedule somewhere else.
In the office or on a trip - thanks to their impressive size (B5 format) and
a weight of 1.8 kg, the Super Slim projectors can be taken simply everywhere.

at ISE
This year
the German company, Conrac GmbH, and their longtime supplier, Dzine n.v. from
Belgium, will be featuring on 36 sqm a line-up of 10 screens from 19” to 57”,
mostly TFT and indoor models for professional use but also showing one
consumer, one plasma and one outdoor model respectively. All models feature
not only the new GEB8 Graphic Engine Board and the new Conrac-developed AV6
signal processing board but also state-of-the-art panels from the world’s
largest manufacturers and specific Conrac software specs that make these
displays amongst the most versatile and high-performing on the market today.
Picture enhancement is taken care of by Dynamic Noise Control, Adaptive Light
Control, Dynamic Contrast Control and True Movie Mode while built-in Pixel
Shifting, Dynamic Pixel Refreshing and Soft Picture Mode to minimise image
sticking can be taken for granted. But this year both companies will be
showing how these diverse screens can be used in Dynamic Digital Signage and
Out-of-Home applications, driven by the newest version of the GT2 Player
Software which enables the user not only to edit content pages using
different types of materials but also to schedule the content as best
required in the venue. Thus the focus is on offering operators reliable, safe
and easy-to-use hard- and software solutions for a wide variety of markets
building on many years of experience in over 200 airports worldwide where
such systems face the toughest tests, working around the clock, 7 days a
week, with a minimal failure ratio. And don’t miss the great 46” IP55 outdoor

invisible PC in the display
Panasonic
is now offering a comfortable solution with regards to commercially used
displays providing a slot-in concept for professional displays ranging from
42“ to 103“. Among the devices are the PC slots VC-251 and ETX-1312. The
powerful PC slots can be integrated easily into displays thus offering the
advantage of an all-in-one solution. Avoiding the time-consuming mounting or
cabling of external PCs, providers of content management systems as a result
have a powerful and space-saving alternative even in 24/7/365 applications -
whether being operated horizontally or vertically. Panasonic leaves the
decision up to the user since both PC slots can be purchased without the
operating system, which means that an individual installation of the
operating system such as Microsoft TM XP Professional or 2000 Professional is
possible. Furthermore, the PC-Board VC-251 is also available including a
Microsoft Windows Embedded operating system. A 40 GB hard drive offers enough
space for storing software and additional content. Powerful Pentium® Celeron
processors are designed for playing videos in DVD quality as well as
high-resolution images. The PC slot reduces the cabling and is being
integrated in a space-saving way into the display, since the power supply is
provided by the display sending signals digitally, and thus in optimum
quality, directly back to the panel. ISE: Booth H 90 More: http://www.panasonic-europe.com 19) Screen Expo and Minicom Present
First Digital Signage Showcase
Screen

picking it up from a web server, rendering it, and with only a few seconds
delay for refresh, deliver it to the screen. A further enhancement to the
EvoNet unit will allow users to overlay HTML content, such as marketing
messages or webpages over existing content on the display, so that ads or
promotional messages can run concurrently with web pages and MPEG 2/4 files.
The EvoNet units can automatically detect new content entered via a USB key
or IP Network download can be set to retrieve MPEG-2/4 and HTML files at
convenient times. Additionally content can be synchronised across screens so
