4) SANYO: High-Performance PLC-XF46 Projector
The new SANYO PLC-XF46 projector
is a powerhouse. Its enormous brightness of 12,000 ANSI lumens exceeds all
expectations. Equipped with a powerful contrast ratio of 1000:1, the PLC-XF46
meets even highest demands. The new SANYO projector targets especially rental
companies and event firms. Naturally, the projector is equally suitable for
applications in large conference rooms or lecture halls. A reliable partner
for any kind of large venue events, this projector uses the Real Colour
Management software which is included in delivery. Especially when using
multiple projectors this software guarantees a true colour representation.
The manual calibration of colour representation is remarkably easy. The
configuration can then be saved and used again as often as desired. SANYO’s
multi-lamp system guarantees a successful event and the lens shift allows for
high flexibility. Thanks to lens shift the projector’s position can be
changed both vertically and horizontally. The decision to use the PLC-XF46
should be easy for rental firms and event experts, especially when
considering the broad choice of lenses – 11 interchangeable lenses are
available. The lenses guarantee pin-sharp images from any distance whether
from an extremely wide angle (as in rear-projections) or from an extreme
tele-zoom (as in big screen). The SANYO high performance projector consists
of eight optional connection boards apart from the common video- and computer
inputs.

6) Toshiba: tx10 Featuring Super Close Projection
 Toshiba Projection & Display Technology (PDT) has presented the
tx10, a „super close projection“ SCP model that has been designed for the use
with interactive whiteboards. The new device revolutionizes presentations in
the education sector (in schools, universities and in conference rooms)
featuring an extreme wide angle lens. Starting at a short distance of a mere
20cm, the tx10 projects an image of a 0.65m image diagonal. At a distance of
1.60m, the projected image is even more enlarged to 2.90m. The tx10 is highly
suitable for ceiling installations. Due to the 130° offset angle the
presenter would neither throw a shadow on the screen nor would he be blinded
by the light. The XGA-resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, the high contrast
ratio of 2000:1 and the brightness of 1500 ANSI lumens guarantee high quality
projections in any kind of ambience light conditions. The business projector
is based on the SCP technology. Installing the projector is remarkably easy.
It can be positioned flexibly even in a small room because all connections
are located in the front. With this super close projection model, Toshiba
wants to redefine the use of projectors in the business and education
sectors. The tx10 will be available as of June 2006 in distribution and at
dealers.

19) ict: „Animated Hardware“ To Trigger New Dimensions
Whether at trade shows, events,
conferences, AGMs, concerts or TV productions: Professional media technology
for creating worlds of experience, or as pure presentation media, is
state-of-the-art and one of the main components for a successful event these
days. Sophisticated communication concepts can be realized by using seamless
plasma displays, which are currently one of the most innovative and most
flexible developments in the presentation sector. At the Prolight+Sound in
Frankfurt (29th March until 1st April 2006), the ict Innovative Communication
Technologies AG together with their partners GTG presented breathtaking
application opportunities for these displays in hall 8.0, booth M64: On a 6
meter high media wall seamless plasma displays were moved vertically and
rotated around their centre screens – synchronous to the relevant display
contents. This symbiosis of mechanical, robotic and display technology is
only one of several opportunities for communication solutions created with
animated media. Dynamic movements via targeted acceleration and decelerating
of media are perfectly suitable as dramaturgical means for creating emotions.
Following the trade show motto „Creating Emotions“, visitors at the ict and
GTG booth were able to experience creative impulses for their communication
concepts. Further application opportunities for seamless plasma displays were
presented in the booth’s lounge, e.g. permanent installation solutions for
setting the scene visually in shops or at POI/POS.

21) Kramer launches the VP-100A
Kramer Electronics, Ltd. has
announced the introduction of the VP-100A Computer Graphics Video Interface.
A computer graphics video interface, by industry-accepted definitions, should
do several specific things. Kramer’s new VP-100A computer graphics video
interface addresses every one of these items. The VP-100A accepts a computer
graphics video signal on a 15-pin HD connector and outputs an RGBHV signal on
five BNC connectors with recessed and adjustable EQ and defeat able
horizontal and vertical shift controls. It supports ID bits on pins 4 and 11
and it has a very high bandwidth of 430 MHz @-3db. It provides a fully
buffered (active) local monitor output on a 15-pin HD connector. Moreover, it
accepts an unbalanced stereo audio input and provides a fully balanced stereo
audio output with recessed L and R level controls. In addition, to do
everything necessary to be an ideal computer graphics video interface, the
VP-100A will also output an RGBS signal in addition to the standard RGBHV
signal. “We have offered a number of very good computer graphics video
interfaces in our line over the years, but the VP-100A is the culmination of
taking all the input we have received from our dealers and end users, and
incorporating it into one product that does everything well”, the company
states. In its opinion, the VP-100A is a perfect computer graphics video interface
and its dealers and customers will find it to be an extremely valuable tool
for use in their systems. The VP-100A is housed in a compact desktop
enclosure and operates via an internal worldwide power supply. It is now in
stock and available through Kramer Electronics sales companies worldwide.

25) ProCon: New innovative IP control
ProCon Technology has launched an
innovative IP control unit designed to make life easier for AV managers who
need to manage multiple installations. The ProCon IP unit and Site Manager
software allows AV managers to manage, monitor and communicate with AV
installations across a network. This means they can see exactly what the
state of play is of a projector or plasma screen, at any time, in any room –
without leaving the office. According to Chris Kendall, Managing Director of
ProCon Technology, the IP panel gives huge benefits to IT and AV managers in
any situation where they are managing multiple installations. “Imagine the
logistical challenges of keeping track of numerous AV installations over a
large number of sites – equipment gets left on, which results in burn in on
plasmas or short lamp life on projectors, or units go down and are only
discovered when a user comes to make a presentation. Our product removes these
types of frustrations, and gives the users more confidence in the systems
they are using. And of course, there’s a huge cost saving for the IT budget
by extending projector lamp life and preventing plasma burn in by allowing
you to remotely switch off devices. Our product also helps managers plan
maintenance and servicing schedules by recording equipment usage and time
between servicing”. The IP control panel and Site Manager software is
compatible with any brand of AV equipment, it can easily be retro fitted to
existing installations, regardless of what equipment is present.
