2)      ISE Roadshow 2008 - Dates and venues confirmed

Integrated Systems Events, the company behind the fast-growing ISE tradeshow, has confirmed the itinerary for the third in its series of Integrated Systems Roadshows. The 2008 edition of the tour will start in the Greek capital, Athens on Friday 3 October, before visiting Sofia, Bulgaria on Monday 6 October, and finishing in Bucharest, Romania on Wednesday 8 October. As in previous years, each stop on the tour will feature a combination of manufacturer training and a hotel ballroom tradeshow, with additional education provided by ISE’s two supporting trade associations, CEDIA and InfoComm International. All three shows will offer free admission to qualifying participants, and sponsorship opportunities will be strictly limited. “By restricting the Roadshow to a maximum of 25 exhibitors, we ensure that the event maintains its unique character,” Mike Blackman, Managing Director, Integrated Systems Events, says. “Attendees can fit both education and technology discussion into a single day, while exhibitors get quality time to spend time with new prospects.”

6)      CASIO presents eight new super slim business projectors

CASIO introduces eight new super slim models from their successful range of slender-fit projectors. The highlights of this launch are the business models XJ-SC215 and XJ-SC210 with 2,500 ANSI lumens. Extremely lightweight and flat, these two new products particularly stand out due to their excellent colour reproduction. The super slim models XJ-S57, S52, S47, S42, S37 and S32 will be available at the end of July. All new models in the XJ series have an RS232c interface which allows projector operation via the controls and integration into existing systems. Technical enhancements in the new high-performance business models XJ-SC210 and XJ-SC215 with their USB interface are centred on colour reproduction optimisation in projections. To realize such an improvement, CASIO has introduced a specially developed colour wheel. The new intelligent lamp control has also decidedly improved colour reproduction of these super-slim projectors. The super slim models XJ-S37, S47 and S57 can be quickly and easily connected via a direct link to CASIO FX-9860G graphing calculator models or to the YC-430 camera system. These projectors can also be used to give presentations without the actual need for a laptop or PC. To do so, the supplied EZ-Converter Pro software will convert all printable files into JPEG format – files can now be shown directly from a USB stick, a remarkably easy and uncomplicated process.

7)      Kindermann: Bright and professional KX 5000 XGA projector

Kindermann presents the KX 5000, an exceptionally bright XGA projector for large projection screens suitable for the education sector and for seminars and conferences. Thanks to a stunning brightness of 4500 ANSI lumens, a very low noise level of just 29 dB, a LAN connection as well as the possibility to use interchangeable lenses (available as of July), this 3 LCD projector is perfectly equipped for fixed installations. Featuring five different signal inputs (VGA, DVI, video, S-video, component video), the KX 5000 can process signals with a physical resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, interpolated also up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The standard wide angle lens allows for large projections from a short distance, and the two telephoto lenses available this summer will enable projections from longer distances. The technical specifications are rounded off by an 8-watt speaker, vertical keystone-correction, monitor output and a serial interface for media control.

8)      Barco: three-chip DLP WUXGA projector

Barco is pleased to announce the latest addition to its portfolio of projectors: the NW-12. It features a native WUXGA resolution (1920x1200), offers users a greater pixel canvas, allows them to display more sources than ever in full resolution and is fully compatible with modern high-end laptops. Barco’s NW-12 brings WUXGA to the three-chip DLP platform. This readies Barco for the next stage in professional visualization for venues that need more resolution. Applications for WUXGA resolution not only include full display of high-end computer laptops, but also text messaging that can be combined with native 1080p HD video. The NW-12’s ultra-bright 12,000 lumens output renders it optimally suited for the bright ambient light conditions of auditoriums, large meeting rooms or conference halls. It also comes equipped with edge blending capabilities, so that they can be installed in any desired configuration. Barco’s NW-12 is designed with a sealed optical engine, which prevents dust from contaminating the projector’s image quality. In addition, it features liquid cooling to prevent the system from overheating and reduce noise levels to some of the lowest in its class. To complement the three-chip DLP NW-12 projector, Barco also releases the smaller single-chip DLP NW-5 projector. Although it possesses the same sealed optical engine and multi-channel capabilities, it offers a light output of 5,000 lumens. This makes it the projector of choice for small- to medium-sized meeting rooms and boardrooms.

10)  Philips and projectiondesign annouce their collaboration

Royal Philips Electronics and projectiondesign announce their collaboration in developing ultra-high brightness projectors which are equipped with the highest levels of UHP lamp powers. This cooperation between the two companies has resulted in a 3-chip DLP, dual 400W lamp projector prototype that produces an impressive 10.000 ScrLm brightness. With this milestone, Philips and projectiondesign demonstrate that UHP based projectors have the potential for applications requiring extreme high brightness such as high-end e-Cinema, events, visualization and simulation. Philips UHP lighting technology is commonly used for a wide variety of projection applications ranging up to 6000 Lm. Higher brightness applications (> 5000 Lm) are traditionally served by Xenon lighting technologies. “With the development of UHP-based 10 kLm projectors, Philips UHP technology will now enter Xenon dominated application areas”, said Ruud van der Zanden, Senior Product Manager for High Power Solutions within Philips DPL.
