SANYO: PLV-Z5 home cinema projector
Right in
time for the IFA, SANYO presented its new PLV-Z5 home cinema projector.
Compared to the preceding model, the PLV-Z4, the developers especially
optimized contrast and brightness. „We had the home cinema fans in mind when
developing this new model,“ says Erik Jäger, home cinema specialist at SANYO. The projector
features a second HDMI input allowing a more flexible use. A simultaneous
input of both HDTV-receiver and DVD-recorder is no longer a problem. The
optic that was used in the PLV-Z4 also found its way into the new model. The
wide angle lens featuring a projection ratio of 1.36 – 2.77
: 1 as well as comfortable lens shift allow for projecting pin-sharp,
undistorted images from almost every angle. More: http://www.sanyo.de |

3) Mitsubishi’s home cinema news
Apart
from the extra silent HC5000 LCD-projector featuring HD resolution,
Mitsubishi will bring additional three DLP-projectors to market. The new HC5000,
however, features a projection system with three 0.74“ LCD
panels. For the first time ever, Epson’s novel Dream 6 LCD panel is being
used here. Featuring a full HD-resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 10.000:1
contrast ratio, an operating noise level of just 19 dB and a lamp life-span
of 5000 hours, the HC5000 is setting the benchmark in the home cinema
projector class. Moreover, Mitsubishi uses high-quality HQV-technology
(Hollywood Quality Video) from Silicon Optix for the
first time. More: http://www.Mitsubishi-evs.de 4)
Sharp: XG-MB67X DLP-projector –
robust and long-lasting
The
XG-MB67X is a robust, long-lasting and bright DLP-projector offering 3000
ANSI lumens. A contrast ration of 2000:1 allows for clear and impressive
images even in large formats. The resolution is 1024x768 pixels. Operating
the projector is comparably easy since it can be comfortably done via web
browser. The noise level is
30 dB in ECO mode. More: http://www.sharp.de/projektoren |

Sony: ultra-portable business
projectors
Professional
Solutions of Sony is going to introduce the VPL-CX21 and VPL-CS21 lightweight
projectors, designed for mobile users in business or school environments. The
footprint of these models is smaller than an A4-sized sheet of paper. At a
height of just 52mm and weighing only 1.9kg, these projectors are easy to carry
and perfect for people on the move. Off & Go enables the user to unplug
the projector immediately after use as the fan will continue to cool the unit
after the power supply has been removed. Despite their small size, both
projectors deliver outstanding image quality. The VPL-CX21 has XGA native
resolution (1024 x 768 x 3 pixels) and the VPL-CS21 has SVGA native
resolution (800 x 600 x 3 pixels). Both have a brightness level of 2100 ANSI
lumens and are based on 3LCD technology, which uses three LCD panels
(separate panels for red, green and blue) to deliver bright, natural images
and superb colours. More: http://www.sonybiz.net 6)

LV-7575 featuring 5500 lumens
Canon has

InFocus: Work Big IN32 and IN34
InFocus
Corporation offers two innovative projectors designed for professional
presentations: The Work Big models IN32 and IN34 not only project brilliant
images but also show presentations pin-sharp on screen. Modern technologies
like the latest TI DLP-chip as well as a lamp life span of 2000 hours provide
a powerful presentation in any situation.
The models IN32 featuring 2000 ANSI-lumens and IN34 featuring 2500
ANSI-lumens brighten up conference and meeting rooms. Thanks to their compact
design both models only weigh 2.37 kg and both also integrate ProjectAbility. This InFocus
concept allows for easy operation of the Work Big models. The Work Big series
offers multiple inputs including a serial interface connection, multiple
computer inputs, S-Video and more allow seamless integration into any
existing IT infrastructure. Hence, the InFocus IN32
and the InFocus IN34 are not only suitable for
business environments but can also be used in schools and other education
environments. More: http://www.infocus.com 8)

Geha projects large images with the
compact 238 W
The new Geha beamer compact 238 W is extraordinarily equipped and
offers great flexibility. The projector is ideal for presentations in small
rooms. Due to a new wired angle lens the device projects large images at a
short projection distance. A wall in the size of 200 x 153 cm can be fully
projected at a distance of approx. 3 meters.
Thanks to a brightness of 2200 ANSI lumens, a resolution of 1024 x 768
pixels and a contrast ratio of 500:1, the compact 238 W will make any
presentation perfect. The lamp life span can last up to 3000 hours when being
used in Eco-mode. An integrated light sensor not only adjusts brightness
automatically but also adjusts the image contrast to the specific lightning
conditions in the room. In result, preparing a presentation is done in “no
time”. A fan noise of 33 dB makes any presentation a pleasant experience. More: http://www.geha.de 10) Optoma launched its first true WXGA
Projector
Optoma
has introduced the EP1690 projector. This native WXGA projector delivers
performance and picture quality for today’s widescreen laptops, the latest
DVD releases, and high definition content. The EP1690 features Optoma’s exclusive Widescreen Maximizer
software, which allows perfect picture matching between the data source and
the projector. This software user can download free from the company’s web
site. The EP1690 has a brightness of 2500 lumens and a contrast ratio of
2500:1, with a noise level of 30 dB. At the IFA Show Optoma
has launched the ThemeScene HD70 – a native High
Definition 720p DLP Home Cinema projector. The HD70 features Texas
Instruments’ latest 720p High Definition DLP chipset, 7-segment color wheel,
10-bit per channel color processing, and great connectivity. It has
super-bright 1300 lumens, and an unmatched 4000:1 contrast ratio. The new
purpose designed, ThemeScene 7-segment color wheel
together with BrilliantColor and TrueVivid color enhancement technologies simultaneously
enables higher brightness, and astonishing deep saturated color. photokina: hall 9, booth B018/C019 More: http://www.optomaeurope.com 11) Projectiondesign to showcase Cineo

W-LAN adapter K-WMS 100
The new Kindermann W-LAN Adapter K-WMS 100 can make mobile
presentations even easier. Image data are transmitted in highest quality from
the computer to the screen at a speed of up to 15 images per second, all in
compliance with Wi-Fi standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g
and Ethernet. The connection to the projector is realized by a receiver that
is connected to the standard VGA-input. 64/128 Bit WEP encoding allows for
secure data transmission. Together with other Kindermann
products, such as the Cordless Lectern, an entirely wireless presentation
including large image projection is now for the first time possible. The
Cordless Lectern is a height-adjustable lectern that is equipped with an LCD
touch screen and – the only one of its kind – also comes with a mobile energy
source. photokina: hall 9, booth A11/A19 More: http://www.kindermann.de 14) Extron introduces the MPX 866A matrix
switcher
Extron
Electronics introduces the MPX 866 A Media Presentation Matrix Switcher. The
MPX 866 A combines three matrix switchers in a single, compact enclosure: an
8x6 VGA switcher; a 6x6 composite video and S-video switcher; and a 14x6
audio switcher. It provides outputs to match the VGA, S-video, and composite
video inputs found on many projectors. It is ideal for environments where a
variety of room configurations must be supported, such as in colleges,
universities, hotels, and conference centers. To
simplify video signal routing, the MPX 866 A is equipped with a built-in
video transcoder capable of decoding composite
video into S-video, and encoding S-video into
composite video. In addition to dual, independent serial ports, MPX 866 A
control options include front panel control, a front panel serial
configuration port, and Extron IP Link® Ethernet
monitoring and control for device management over a LAN, WAN, or the
Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols. More: http://www.extron.com | |||||||||
