5) Canon: New models for portable projection
Canon
announces a new era for portable projection with the introduction of two new
XEED multimedia projector models. While the XEED WUX10 forms an all-new
addition to the XEED range, the XEED SX80 succeeds the popular XEED SX60 with
a range of modifications and new features. Both models are ideal for use in
boardrooms and conference centres, as well as specialist applications such as
CAD, simulation and medical environments. Other possibilities include lecture
theatres, sports and media bars, and professional photo applications. The
XEED WUX10 and XEED SX80 employ LCOS panel technology. Designed in-house by
Canon for optimum performance with other projector components, these panels
overcome conventional projection setbacks – seamlessly reproducing fine
detail with no unwanted ‘lattice’ or ‘rainbow’ effects. LCOS performance is
optimised by Canon AISYS (Aspectual Illumination System). This optical array
maximises light path efficiency, delivering two key advantages: outstanding
brightness levels of 3200 lumens (XEED WUX10) and 3000 lumens (XEED SX80),
and contrast ratios of 1000:1 and 900:1 respectively. With respective
resolutions of WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) and SXGA+ (1400 x 1050 pixels), the
XEED WUX10 and XEED SX80 offer sufficient levels of detail for specialist
applications such as CAD, simulation and medical imaging. WUX10 also allows
projection from the latest high-resolution 16:10 aspect ratio PCs, without
compression or panning of the desktop image. More: http://www.canon-europe.com 6) Mitsubishi Electric: XD530E - WLAN projector for wireless
presentations
With fast, wireless signal
transmission from PC or notebook via WLAN, the XD530E is the projector of
choice for users who want to maintain the greatest possible independence and
flexibility while ensuring high image quality. The XD530E’s low weight of
just three kilograms also makes it ideal for use as a portable projector. At
the same time, its anti-theft protection and many security features also make
it ideally suited for use in fixed installations as well. With a brightness
of 3000 ANSI lumens, the XD530E delivers high image quality even in brightly
lit rooms. The projection is based on the 0.55-inch DLP chip. True XGA
resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and a contrast ratio of 2000:1 guarantee a
high-quality picture, while the system’s innovative DDP2230 signal processing
ensures natural colour reproduction. The Splash-Screen function makes it
possible to project a company logo while the device is starting up. The
remote controllable projector can also be switched off immediately after the
presentation (Instant Shut-down). The high service life of the lamp – up to
3000 hours in low mode – ensures reasonable service costs right from the
start. The convenient lamp access from the top is particularly advantageous
for maintenance. More: http://www.mitsubishi-evs.de/en/home.asp 7) Christie: Single-Chip DLP-Projector DS+655
Christie
introduces the latest addition to the popular Christie DS+ Series of dual
lamp, single-chip DLP projectors. Compact and quiet, the projector delivers
top-quality image reproduction for medium to large meeting rooms and
classrooms, government facilities and executive briefing rooms where smooth,
reliable operation is critical. Optimised for brighter whites and vivid
colour, the Christie DS+655 is perfect for business presentations in high
ambient light environments. It delivers a powerful 6,500 ANSI lumens and
combines SXGA+ resolution with a contrast ratio of up to 7500:1.
BrilliantColor, DNX, and the latest-generation 10-bit image processing
technology produce dramatic colour rendering and video reproduction, broader
colour bandwidth, and significantly reduced image noise. AV installers have
the choice of six motorised, high-performance lens options with a throw ratio
range from 0.8:1 through 7:1. Combined with horizontal and vertical lens
shift, the projector can be positioned almost anywhere in the room. The long
lamp life (2000 hours) and filter-free, sealed optical engine provide low
cost of ownership with minimal maintenance. For applications that seek fully
saturated colours, Christie offers a special, built-to-order configuration of
this model, the Christie DS+405. More: http://www.christiedigital.com 8) COMM-TEC: Weibel Projector and Plasma Lifts

More: http://www.da-lite.com 10) Chief: New Installer-Inspired FUSION Series of Fixed and Tilt Mounts
Chief’s
new FUSION low-profile, universal mounting system provides the most
progressive collection of features yet, focusing on usability and speed of
installation. The new design, available in fixed or tilt models, was
engineered to solve the most common installation problems for the
professional installer and free up valuable time. Features of the FUSION
Series include Centerless Lateral Shift offering up to 16” of
post-installation lateral shift (8” left or right of uprights). ControlZone
Leveling allows post-installation fine-tuning of height and leveling by
inserting an Allen key into the ports at the top of the wall plate uprights.
Centris Fingertip Tilt provides effortless tilting and Click-Connect provides
an audible click when the screen safely engages with the mount. Common
installation problems range from stud location or perfect placement, to
leveling the entire installation. The new FUSION design evolved as a fully
integrated solution to these common problems, with the benefit of speeding up
installations, as well as simplifying the mounting process. More: http://www.chiefmfg.com 11) Gefen: New HDMI IR Extender
Gefen
announces the pre-release of its HDMI IR Extender. This hi-def audio/video
extension system delivers 1080p full HD in the HDMI format with IR back
channel control over two industry-standard CAT-5 cables. The instant delivery
of IR signals allow users to control their hi-def audio/video sources from up
to 100 meters (at 1080i) or 50 meters (at 1080p) in distance. Rack mounted
sources can be accessed and controlled from any room or venue using this
IR-enabled extension system. The use of CAT-5 cables offers installers the
option of using in-wall cabling to transmit audio and video throughout the
home. The Gefen HDMI IR Extender uses small sender and receiver units to
connect local and remote devices; an IR Blaster is connected at the source.
An optional RMT IR Extender at the receiving end can be used to further
streamline the installation, allowing the receiver to be located out of
sight. Both sender and receiver are powered to drive long-distance
performance while supporting HDCP-compliant hi-def video. The system is
engineered to compensate for CAT-5 cable skews, ensuring audio and video are
delivered instantly with full HD quality at the remote destination. More: http://www.gefen.com 12) Crestron: TPMCI-4XG handheld touchpanel

redesigned touchpanel features a stunning silver package and new ergonomic
button layout. The new field replaceable battery also enables longer usage
between charges. Integrated 802.11b/g WiFi technology delivers secure,
high-speed 2-way wireless performance, communicating with Crestron control
systems, computers, and media servers via a wireless Ethernet access point.
