Projectiondesign is very happy about their latest developments in the past few months. The company’s InfoComm appearance in Orlando on a 120sqm-sized booth not only shows that the booth size has become larger, but also stands for increased sales figures. This May, in fact, was the firm’s strongest month ever with regards to sales, since the company’s founding five years ago. The innovative Norwegian projector manufacturer introduced its latest 1-chip DLP model on InfoComm, the F2 SX+. The F2SX+ is a compact device for professional applications. It has SXGA+ resolution (1,400x1,050 pixels), 3,000 ANSI lumens, 2,500:1 contrast, lens shift, 24/7 running mode, 24-bit colour saturation, and a magnesium housing. It is suitable for portrait-format projections. It comes with 3 different colour wheel choices and various lenses, including a 1:1 wide angle lens. Featuring 24db, the projector is extremely silent. It is very compact (23.4 x 27.8 x 0.94 cm) and very lightweight (2.9 kg).

3)      Casio: Super Slim XJ-S35 and XJ-S30 Projectors

CASIO has revolutionized the projector market by developing the new super slim XJ-S30 and XJ-S35 models (with USB ports). The data projectors are extremely small, ultra flexible and unbelievably chic. The projectors will be available as of the third quarter in 2006. By minimizing various components as the projector’s lens and the light source, the new super slim projectors impress with a considerably slimmer thickness of a mere 43 mm. The high-end XJ-S35 model has its own USB port. This means that users are always ready for action, because they don't need a computer to present PowerPoint presentations or other presentations. Moreover, the 2x motorized wide-angle zoom provides a unique degree of flexibility: A projection distance starting at 1.7 m (max. 3.40 m) is adequate to project data clearly and legibly with an image diagonal of 1.52 m. An amazing light intensity of 2,000 ANSI lumens means that it offers an extraordinary degree of brilliance and sharpness, even in daylight conditions.

4)      NEC: LT35 projector triumphs in the 'Ease of Use' category

A triumph for NEC's LT35 projector at the Plus X Awards ceremony in Düsseldorf. Despite the tough competition, the projector came out top in the 'Ease of Use' award category. The Plus X Awards were presented for the third time this year in recognition of outstanding technological products to companies in the sectors of entertainment electronics, telecommunications, IT and household appliances. This is the second time that an NEC projector has received an award. This year, it went to NEC's LT35 in the awards category of 'Ease of Use' for the projector's fast auto focus function. Thanks to auto focus, the LT35 projector is operational in a matter of seconds because there is no need to manually adjust the focus. Another of this projector's outstanding features is automatic keystone correction to prevent trapezoidal distortion so that square images are projected. The fan only runs for 15 seconds after the LT35 is switched off, rounding off the range of convenient automatic functions incorporated in this projector.

5)      Kindermann Meets Canon

Kindermann enhanced its product portfolio by Canon’s XEED series projectors. Canon’s XEED projectors featuring LCOS technology stand for outstanding quality in compact design. Kindermann offers beamers that, due to their state-of-the-art technology, provide pin-sharp images. The useable pixel area is much bigger with LCOS technology than with other technologies. Hence, image quality can be improved considerably. Canon projectors are not only suitable for presenting high-resolution photos. They are also ideal for the presentation of natural screen changes and moving images without any distortions, thanks to the panel’s extraordinary quick reaction time. Kindermann naturally provides competent advice and excellent service.

6)      Philips has developed the Ujoy

Royal Philips Electronics has announced the development of Philips Ujoy, an innovative lighting system for the Digital Projection market. The ultra small Ujoy lamp, coupled with the compact nature of DLP picture technology from Texas Instruments, powers ultra-compact projectors with stylish designs, which will accelerate an emerging segment within the Digital Projection market – Personal Projection. Expectations are that the introduction of Ujoy lighting system will enable development on the Personal Projection market, specifically in application areas of video gaming, photo projection, home entertainment (DVD/TV/sports watching) and laptop use for travelers. For example, gamers will enjoy an intensified gaming experience on a big screen, with the freedom to use the projector wherever they want. Market research among consumers confirms that there is clearly a need for a better affordable, smaller screen size projector for inhome use. Ujoy is a very compact, low-power light source based on the well-known Philips innovative UHP technology.
