6)      Sony PSE: VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 – the new projector generation

Sony presents its new generation of projectors with the novel VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 LCD projectors. Compared to the previous models the new models boost a higher brightness and seven instead of just six image modes. In result, the projectors can be used even more flexibly both in business and home applications. The vertical trapezoid correction allows for the projectors to be positioned even sideways to the screen. Thanks to XGA- and SVGA resolution these E-series models are catered to novices and customers who are aiming at using the projector in versatile applications. Improved brightness results in excellent images even in bright rooms. Even when used in power saving mode, the projectors offer an excellent presentation without the need to darken the room. Thanks to their compact size and easy installation – also ceiling mounting if necessary – both projectors are suitable for small companies as well as applications in the education sector. The projectors can work with a broad variety of incoming signals including computer signals of up to SXGA+ and HD video signals.

8)      Da-Lite: Pursuit of ISO 14001 Certification

Da-Lite Screen Company has started a “Green AV” initiative by announcing that the company is actively pursuing ISO 14001 certification.

According to Da-Lite’s CEO, Richard Lundin, “ISO 14001 will help Da-Lite to protect the environment, prevent pollution and improve our green performance.” “Da-Lite has already put into place a number of green actions such as recycling all of our waste, implementing solar panels on our roof and energy conservation with state of the art interior lighting.” Tim Henson, Executive Vice President of Manufacturing, is leading the company’s efforts in this area. Mr. Henson stated that “Many companies claim to be green, but it is our opinion that only when a company receives certification from an outside environmental expert such as ISO are they truly green.”

10)  Toshiba: Enhanced Picture Quality with New LCD TVs

Toshiba LCD TV models in the high definition REGZA line are captivating due to “Picture Frame”, a novel design concept which, thanks to halved frame size, is characterized by a significantly reduced housing size. Hence, the 40“ Picture Frame device, 40XF350D, needs less space than a common 37“ LCD-TV, and the 46” Picture Frame model, 46XF350D, can compete with a 42” flat screen TV. Apart from an extraordinary sleek design, both full HD XF series’ models come with state-of-the-art, innovative technology: Both models consist of a panel featuring full HD resolution of 1,920 x1,080 pixels. The REGZA line utilizes PIXEL PROcessing V which next to „Active Backlight Control“ facilitates the delivering of stunning lifelike images. Another new feature - „Dynamic Gamma Curve Correction“ – improves image details without changing the pure black and white. PIXEL PROcessing V hence delivers sharp, natural and brilliant images. The entire image processing and representation is being deployed by a FULL 10 Bit Processing resulting in a palette of more than one billion colours.

11)  COMM-TEC: Mediasite exclusive sales for Germany and Austria

Knowledge transfer independent of location is possible via the network and Internet infrastructure which can be realised on a time-independent basis using a comprehensive online archive. Then the only thing missing is a tool to reproduce the training or presentation audio-visually with the chance to interact. Mediasite records presentations in their entirety and reproduces them. The PC presentation is recorded (e.g. PowerPoint) along with the speaker in sound and picture and in addition any further sources used by the speaker, e.g. a document camera or a separate video source (DVD player). The user can either follow the presentation live on a website or alternatively call it up on a website at any suitable later point and watch it then.  The Mediasite recorder is the core component for recording and editing presentations. It has analogue and digital audio and video inputs to record the sources used in the presentation and integrated software for editing the presentation during which the various picture and sound signals are joined together and played back as finished presentation data.  The Mediasite server software allows the recorded and edited presentations to be published on the company network or in the Internet. The software allows as many presentations as desired to be catalogued in the network. The finished catalogue can then be made available on a website. The cataloguing also provides a search function in the finished catalogue which means the user can search the whole catalogue according to event names, presentation subjects, names of speakers and key words in the presentation. There is more detailed information at the link below.
