1)      SHOWTECH: breaking its own records

SHOWTECH 2005 that closed on June 3rd in Berlin broke a number of its own records. With the event attracting 6,868 trade visitors, the organizer, Messe Berlin Reed GmbH, and the institutional patron, DTHG, posted an increase of 4.8 percent. Foreign visitors and new target groups of customers represented key growth factors. Just under a quarter of all trade visitors (24.8%) travelled to this year's SHOWTECH from abroad, with nearly half undertaking a journey of over 500 kilometres. Overall, 309 exhibitors (2003: 270) from 23 countries came to Berlin to present their new products in the fields of stage, lighting, sound and studio technology. The 13th edition of SHOWTECH is going to be held from 19th to 21st June in Berlin.

2)      IFA: world’s largest consumer electronics trade show

Preparations for the Internationale Funkausstellung 2005 in Berlin are now in full swing. The most important of consumer electronics fairs is going to open its doors from 2nd until 7th September 2005. The success of the IFA 2003 led to such an increase in demand among exhibitors that additional halls are being made available for the IFA 2005. The area containing displays of product innovations from many companies will be some 15 to 20 per cent larger than before. The unique IFA concept with its six thematic areas – IFA Television & Entertainment, IFA Digital Imaging & Digital Music, IFA Personal Computing & Games, IFA Personal Communication, IFA SNC Satellite, Networks & Cable und IFA Sound & CarMedia – creates the perfect basis for the consumer electronics industry to successfully market its latest innovations. An outline of the trends for the IFA 2005 is already emerging: flat screen technology, which has already broken through to the mass market; digital radio and digital television, terrestrial (DVB-T) and via satellite; high definition television (HDTV) with an unequalled picture quality; mobility.

6)      Toshiba: T40 XGA projector

Toshiba Projection & Display Technology (PDT) has enhanced its product portfolio by the T40, an inexpensive XGA business projector featuring a brightness of 1800 lumens.

Flexibility is even more increased by different image modes and various connection possibilities. A 33 dB operation noise level makes this projector an easy and quit „player“ at all times. Brightness can be increased by switching to the high brightness mode.

7)      EPSON: mobile EMP-760 and EMP-765 projectors

The Epson EMP-760 and EMP-765 projectors offer maximum flexibility and mobility and are therefore ideally dedicated to mobile applications. Weighing only 1.7kg resp. 1.8kg (Epson EMP-760/765) and supplied with a compact, stylish carrying case these 3LCD projectors are the perfect travel companions. A laptop is redundant in presentations. Presentations can easily be saved on a memory card. The card is then connected to the USB input. Powered by 3LCD technology, the Epson projectors can project natural and clear images in the lightest room. Thanks to the innovative Epson E-TORL technology a bright projection of 2500 ANSI lumens is provided. A projected image will also be perfect in any sized room. Even in a small meeting room users will be able to project a 60” screen from a distance of only two meters. When users are on the move, peace of mind is ensured because ease-of-use and Epson's high reliability are designed in to the EMP-760 and EMP-765. All that is needed to set up the projectors is to plug them in, connect a source and within seconds users are ready to present. The projected image is instantly aligned thanks to automatic keystone correction, and the projection level can be easily adjusted using the single foot release lever.
