2)      Optoma Introduces EP910 SXGA+ Projector 

Optoma introduces the EP910, an ultra-high performance HD Ready digital projector. The

native SXGA+ resolution (1400 x 1050) reveals the minutiae of highly detailed data images such as CAD, spreadsheets or simulations as well as stunning High Definition video. With its near silent operation (28dB), it fits perfectly into any office that demands the best in industrial design and high-quality digital projection. High brightness (3500 ANSI lumens) allows larger, more impressive pictures in meeting rooms, lecture theatres and other public places where ambient light would otherwise wash out the colour. High contrast (3000:1) comes courtesy of DarkChip3™ DLP™ technology, this ensures that saturated colours stay pure. The Optoma EP910 incorporates a secure network management capability, with a web-based user-interface that allows the projector to be managed remotely. All EP910’s in the network can be managed through a web browser, which allows configuration of the settings and interrogation of the projector’s status. A comprehensive RS232 instruction set is provided for more traditional AV installations.

3)      Panasonic: New projectors in the PT-LB series at the CeBIT

The preceding models already allowed users to take advantage of a high speed transmission. However, the new Panasonic projectors PT-LB50NTE, PT-LB55NTE and PT-LB60NTE even top it and boost the transmission speed from the PC to the projector by five times. During a transmission, all data is encoded meeting latest standards. These projectors are able to transmit data so quickly that even comprehensive PowerPoint® presentations including film sequences can be projected without difficulty. The new „Wireless Manager ME 3.0“ software enables this speedy transmission. In order to protect data from unauthorized access, the projectors are not only supported by the WEB 128bit standard but also by the additional, innovative WPA security standard. The Wireless Manager can be saved on a mobile memory device (SD card, USB stick, CD-ROM etc) and needs not to be installed on the PC increasing flexibility and mobility. An additional innovation is the Wireless Prompter that activates a desktop extension at the push of a button. This function allows simultaneous wireless transmission of a presentation to the projector and the presentation of additional content on the laptop e.g. the presentation manuscript. The new projectors may appear small from the outside but they offer surprisingly extraordinary brightness: The PT-LB50NTE consists of 2000 ANSI lumens, the PT-LB55NTE has 2500 ANSI lumens and the PT-LB60NTE is characterized by powerful 3200 ANSI lumens. The XGA-resolution guarantees pin-sharp images. Despite of their power, the projectors weigh only 1.9 kg (PT-LB50NTE) and are extremely compact featuring 57 mm height (PT-LB50NTE) which makes them fit into any briefcase. The mobile use is further supported by various handy features such as 2 seconds quick start, full-automatic vertical keystone correction and direct power-off protecting the lamp. The projectors in the PT-LB series are equipped with the novel Daylight-View 2 providing additional power resources.

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.

5)      Liesegang: New XGA projector ddv 2100

Liesegang presents its new portable business projector, the ddv 2100. Due to its low weight (2,2 kg), the XGA projector is ideal for mobile use or for room-to-room presentations. It is suitable for daylight projection with a brightness of 2,100 ANSI lumens. In addition to its high quality, the ddv 2100 is convincing with its excellent video playback and constant colour presentation.

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.

7)      Hitachi: Wireless Business Projectors

The Hitachi Digital Media Group will introduce a new generation of portable projectors to the market that is designed for business users and features 2,500 ANSI lumens. The 260 series includes three XGA projectors: The CP-X260 with basic configuration, the CP-X265 featuring additional LAN RJ45 connection and the CP-X268 flagship product. The latter consists of an integrated wireless module apart from the LAN interface. The wireless module enables wireless transmission of a presentation from the PC to the projector. An additional feature of the CP-X268: Via a USB port images and comprised PowerPoint presentations can be read by means of a USB stick. Hitachi’s new high-performance business projector generation has also numerous integrated security features such as PIN code or anti theft protection. The security features also include password secured projector start, a PIN code for the individual „My Screen“ as well as a mount that helps thief-proof fixing the device. Network administrators especially profit from Hitachi’s network management software that allows for administration, malfunction diagnosis and maintenance via RJ45. The wide angle lens projects from a distance starting at 1.8 m (60” diagonal). Weighing only 2.8kg, the projectors are not only easy to carry; they are also suitable for fixed installations (e.g. in conference rooms) due to their high quality standards.
