Dear
newsletter readers! This
issue of www.AVP-Newsletter.com presents you with latest news from the data-
and video projection / presentation. 1) New Best Results for SHOWTECH 2007
Exhibitors like the organisers Reed Exhibitions have
been able to show successful returns after three days of the SHOWTECH 2007.
With 7,340 trade visitors (up 6.9% over 2005) the specialist exhibition for
event technology, events and services continues the growth it has achieved in
recent years with no sign of stopping. This time there were important
influences from abroad. In this area the number of visitors increased to 30%
altogether (up 5%). In particular the new spirit of optimism in Eastern and More:

Digital
signage is coming more and more to the fore in public places: whether as
advertising in the form of electronic ticker tape, digital posters or at
stations or airports this form of displaying arrivals and departures has been
standard for some time. In subway stations advertising can be shown which
targets certain groups at certain times of the day. In hotels, mega stores
and shops digital signage is also increasingly being used. This is reason
enough for the viscom 2007 to allot digital signage
more space. The Digital Signage Day on the second day of the exhibition will
be providing information ranging from basic content design and planning to
its perception and will show practical examples of the applications possible.
The introduction to the subject begins with the question: Digital Signage –
just a momentary hype or a trend for the future? Finally, on this day, there
will be a podium discussion covering the subjects of the current signage
market, effects and opportunities for traditional suppliers. “With these measures we will meet the
requirements of this segment’s growing significance”, explains viscom director Petra Lassahn.
“Digital signage is set to become a new core segment at viscom." viscom
takes place from 20th to 22nd September in the two new
exhibition halls 8a and 8b in the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre. More: http://www.viscom-messe.com Enjoy reading ! Yours Kai

4) InFocus: InFocus Work Big IN10
Small,
light, powerful: that is the new InFocus Work Big
IN10. The successor to the successful mobile LP70+ projector puts ideas,
presentations and pictures up on the screen brilliantly. Externally the IN10
has taken over the clear design of the LP70+, however on the inside it is
packed with technical highlights. These include 1,800 ANSI lumens, native XGA
resolution and a contrast of 1,100:1. The WorkBig
IN10 weighs one kilo just like its predecessor the LP70+. In addition, both
projectors are fitted with Texas Instruments’ DLP technology. More: http://www.infocus.com 5) CASIO presents two new super-slim projectors
CASIO has
brought two new business projectors in the super-slim class onto the market:
the XJ-S46 and the XJ-S41, with 2,500 ANSI lumens. Thanks to the optical
two-fold motorised zoom, presentations can be adapted to fit the widest
variety of room sizes. The XJ-S46 is fitted with a USB socket so that
presentations are not dependent on the PC or notebook. With dimensions of 207
x 43 x 199mm (32 mm at the thinnest point) the projectors are smaller than a
sheet of DIN A4 paper and weigh just 1.8 kg. The integrated USB socket makes
the XJ-S46 model the ideal companion for mobile use: presentations (e.g.
PowerPoint, Word, Excel or PDF files) can be converted into a JPEG format
with the “EZ-Converter” software which is included and then shown directly
from the USB stick. Playback starts automatically and can be conveniently
operated by remote control. The optical two-fold motorised zoom allows a
large amount of flexibility for use in the most varied room situations:
whether it’s a small office, business lounge or large conference room – the
zoom helps to keep the picture perfectly scaled. For additional comfort when
projecting, there is an automatic keystone correction, quick start function
and direct power off function. More: http://www.casio-projectors.com |

6) Sony PSE: Projector six-pack for the mid-range segment
Six new
LCD projectors for the middle segment will expand Sony Professional Solutions
Europe’s C-series. The so-called “Big SIX” are the six new models between
2700 and 3500 ANSI lumens. The new C-series consists of the basic model
VPL-CX100 and the devices built onto it. Three of them can be put into a
network and controlled remotely. Currently the series starts with the
projectors VPL-CX120 and VPL-CX150. The last product in this range will be
for the first time a projector with WXGA resolution: the VPL-CW125. All six
models together have the improved dust filter and higher lamp efficiency. The
high contrast of 650:1 is also new along with the precise corner
illumination. The highlight of the “Big Six” is the VPL-CX125, Sony’s first
wide XGA projector. The format matches the native resolution of many
widescreen notebooks. The other five devices in the C-series also guarantee
top-quality presentations. More: http://www.sonybiz.net 7) Christie: Christie LX650: compact single-lamp 3LCD projector
The
Christie LX650, fitted with the new LCD technology and long lifetime
single-lamp optics, can manage an impressive 6,500 ANSI lumens with a
contrast ratio of 2000:1. The projector has been developed to meet the
requirements of medium-sized meeting rooms and education departments (up to
approx. 250 participants). The device is just as popular with project
consultants as with organisers as it offers a high level of flexibility with
regard to showing graphics, computer data and 10-bit video data on high
resolution players with widths of just 1.85 metres to 6 metres. This improved
efficiency is largely due to the innovative cooling and air filter system in
the Christie LX650 which makes itself noticed by the
pleasantly low maintenance needs. In addition to that the projector is armed
with horizontal and vertical lens shift, zoom, focus and keystone correction
and a multitude of standard inputs which means it has a broad installation
and operating flexibility. More: http://www.christiedigital.co.uk 8) Barco: Network-centric projection systems
Barco
has presented the latest additions to its line of network-centric projection
systems. The iCon NH-12 and Galaxy NH-12 combine
the best of three-chip DLP technology and stereoscopic, system-integrated
display techniques with a 12,000 lumens light output and the newest
durability-enhancing chassis. The iCon NH-12 and
Galaxy NH-12 display all local and networked sources in movable,
reconfigurable and resizable windows simultaneously. Their advanced
picture-in-picture capabilities also make them suitable for videoconferencing
in 1080p HD. They are operated with keyboard and mouse, and both sources and
layouts can be selected easily through the Start Menu, thanks to special Barco software. While the iCon
will be at home primarily in auditoriums and large boardrooms, the Galaxy is
the perfect tool for design and analysis environments. More: http://labs.barco.com/HDTV 9)

presents a world first with CABIvision
CABIvision has not been around for long: an
idea from CABINET cupboard systems. A projector screen integrated into the
front of the cabinet and a projector inside the cupboard provides the viewer
with brilliant pictures. The function of the cupboard is not at all
compromised by being used at the same time as a piece of entertainment
furniture. The projector inside the cabinet needs only a minimal amount of
space. If the projector is not being used, the screen functions as a “normal”
cupboard front. This special rear-projection screen (ProLite)
is being marketed by G+B pronova from Gladbach. The acrylic screen provides enormous
flexibility when operating: it can be cut according to requirements in almost
any size or format. CABIvision offers picture sizes
up to 75 inches. The material is exceptionally easy to care for and can be
cleaned with standard glass cleaner without problems. Along with ProLite, G+B pronova also
offers a comprehensive line-up of projection screens conceived for the widest
variety of applications. More: http://www.holopro.com | |||||||||
