12)  Panasonic: XGA LCD projector with integrated WLAN

The new Panasonic micro portable XGA PT-LB20NTE LCD projector is characterized by 2000 ANSI lumens brightness and a 400:1 contrast ratio. It is equipped with "daylight-view" technology recently developed by Panasonic. This technology allows for presentations in daylight environments. Even pastel are represented true to original. An ambient light sensor (ALS) which is integrated in the control panel recognizes light variations and in four steps immediately optimizes colour compensation. In addition, the "daylight-view" mode can recognize artificial light sources with various colour temperatures and then automatically carries out the white balance. Thanks to the "daylight-view" function the 2000 ANSI lumens PT-LB20NTE projector achieves a picture quality that is typically found in 3000 ANSI lumens projectors. Furthermore, it is now possible to easily connect up to 16 PCs with a single projector. To realize this, Panasonic presents a warless networking solution: The PT-LB20NTE consists of an integrated IEEE 802 b/g compatible WLAN allowing for wireless video and sound transmission. Hence, a single projector can receive data originating from several PCs. Received pictures can then be projected simultaneously in a multiple window. Users can choose between 4-window mode, 4-window index and 16-window index. Wireless projector control is possible as well as transmitting pictures from a PC to up to eight PT-LB20NTE projectors. Detailed information is available on the Panasonic websites.

The powerful 1.6x zoom allows for flexible placement of the projector. A 2.5 metre image diagonal can be produced from a throwing distance of only 2.5 metres. To avoid trapezium distortion, this occurs when a projector cannot be placed perpendicular to the screen, the LV-7230 uses vertical keystone correction. Incorporating XGA res
