Dear newsletter readers!

 

This issue of www.AVP-Newsletter.com presents you with latest news from the data- and video projection / presentation.

 

 

1)      IS Roadshow: Innovation, information and inspiration

The Integrated Systems Roadshow, powered by ISE, will again be pushing back the boundaries when it embarks on a ten-day tour of duty in Copenhagen on Wednesday, 17 October. Capitalizing on the success of last year’s inaugural Roadshow, which attracted over 400 visitors to four different locations, this year’s event will visit five cities, three of them for the first time. After the Danish capital, the Roadshow returns to Warsaw on 19 October and to Prague three days later. On 24 October it visits Vienna for the first time, before finishing its journey in the Croatian capital, Zagreb, on Friday 26 October. This year’s event coincides with AV Week, a series of worldwide events devised by InfoComm International to celebrate the best in the audiovisual industry. Designed to bring a flavour of audiovisual technology and electronic systems integration to some of Europe’s emerging markets, the Integrated Systems Roadshow will retain its successful formula of a hotel-based event, featuring manufacturer training sessions and a tabletop tradeshow. After analysing feedback from both exhibitors and visitors, the Roadshow’s organisers have made subtle but significant changes to the format for 2007. Training sessions are now slightly longer and fewer in number. Admission is free, but is restricted to trade-only visitors. Further details, including a full exhibitor listing and hotel information, can be found at the IS Roadshow Website.

Generating a stunning 15,000 ANSI lumens from the advanced optical engine and four 330W lamp array, the Christie LX1500 projects a fantastic image. The projector incorporates inorganic LCD panels that are longer lasting and deliver an incredible 2000:1 contrast ratio. Coupled with improved 10-bit image processing for smoother artifact-free images, the Christie LX1500 reproduces crisp and smooth on-screen images. The Christie LX1500 features a suite of eleven optional high performance lenses to support a variety of settings. The lens suite is compatible with the previous Christie LX120 and Christie LX100 models to maximize assets for rental staging partners.

3)      Canon: LV-7365 – High Brightness Projection for the Office

The new Canon LV-7365 is a native XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) model with a high brightness of 3000 lumens and a wide-angle 1.6x zoom projection lens for flexible placement in office spaces. With intuitive controls and features like Auto Vertical Keystone Correction, excellent images can be achieved with minimum fuss. The LV-7365 incorporates an HDCP compliant DVI port, for optimized image quality even from encrypted digital sources. The LV-7365 incorporates a new high-efficiency lamp which produces 3000 lumens output. The additional brightness ensures that large, clear images can be projected even in spaces with high levels of ambient light. A native XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) image delivers high levels of detail in stills, text and moving images. Advanced compression techniques allow for projection at up to UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels) resolution. The 500:1 contrast ratio renders deep blacks and rich tones. The compact 1.6x zoom Canon projection lens offers superior image quality. In restricted presentation areas, the wide angle of the lens ensures that a large image can be produced from a short throw distance: to project a 100” (diagonal) image, the LV-7365 can be placed as close as 2.8m to the screen.

4)      Toshiba PDT: Ultra-Portable p9 DLP Projector – a Versatile Companion

Toshiba has enhanced its business projector portfolio by adding an ultra-portable DLP model to its line-up: the p9. Featuring a light weight of merely 1.3kg and compact measurements this XGA projector is primarily designed for flexible applications. In result, it is highly suitable for both the use in conference rooms and business meetings off location. An additional advantage is the USB connection that allows representation of data directly from the memory stick. Thanks to the novel Brilliant Color Technology by Texas Instruments, this projector boosts natural color representation. For optimized color representation the p9 consists of six instead of formerly common four color segments. Apart from its brilliant color quality, the compact travel companion also offers a variety of connections. The p9 consists of RGB, S-Video, Composite Video, audio via mini-stereo, and USB. The new Toshiba model can be used at a short projection distance starting at 1.6 meters.

With the new NEC VT491 and NEC VT700 projectors, NEC Display Solutions are launching two new models in its successful VT range. The LCD projectors are tailored particularly to the requirements of educational establishments and of small and medium-sized businesses. Quick Start and Quick Power Off and the vertical trapezoidal correction are just some of the comprehensive features provided in the new projectors from NEC Display Solutions. As the best-selling series of projectors from NEC Display Solutions, the VT range enjoys great popularity, particularly in educational establishments, as all VT models are distinguished by their robust design and user-friendliness. Both projectors have flexible connectivity. The NEC VT700 features a DVI interface, which can also be used for digital PC or playing back digital HD video signals. The NEC VT 491 offers two Component compatible analogue inputs. Both projector models feature with a 15-pin mini D-SUB input and output.

6)      Philips releases VIDI technology for front projection applications

Royal Philips Electronics has recently released its innovative VIDI technology, an enabling UHP lamp technology for Digital Front Projection. The Philips VIDI technology will significantly improve the picture quality for the end-users and will give them the flexibility to tune the projector set for multiple applications, for example data vs. video projection. In particular in combination with the state of the art TI BrilliantColor technology, the improvement is astonishing. First front projectors equipped with the newest generation VIDI technology will become available to the market shortly. “In every front projection application, a perfect image is required, both in data as well as video projection. In close cooperation with Texas Instruments we have developed this innovation to enable a perfect image for all settings” said Theodoor Scheerder, Marketing manager at Philips Digital Projection Lighting. “In fact by tuning the lamp system, our VIDI technology allows cross over projectors to deliver natural colors and optimal brightness for both data- and video mode united in one projector” he added. The Philips VIDI technology is now available for the entire UHP product range.

7)      Projecta: Stylish design with ease of installation

Projecta introduces the Integrator Electrol and the Descender (RF) Electrol electrical projection screens, new options which complete the range of built-in projection solutions. The two new screens resemble the Advantage Deluxe Electrol in that they are invisible when not in use and therefore integrate perfectly into a presentation room. When it comes to installation, the installer can rely upon a high level of ease. Users are assured of an option which allows for the effortless integration of projection screen operation into an AV room control system. In addition to outstanding image reproduction quality, these three screens make inconspicuous installation in ceilings possible, meaning that every presentation room retains its own unique appearance. At the same time, a top-quality facility is added to the existing audio-visual system, with a projection screen which moves promptly and quietly into place and ready for use. The screens also include high-quality options for system integration. The Integrator Electrol is particularly well equipped for this purpose, offering an IR module with potential-free contacts. The Easy Service system for the three types of screen ensures that both the motor and screen fabric remain accessible after installation. When it comes to mounting the projection screens, Projecta has once again done its homework on the role of the screen installer. For all three screens, the Advantage Deluxe Electrol, the Integrator Electrol and the Descender (RF) Electrol, the system has been well thought-out: the casing is installed first, followed by the metal roller with the screen fabric. This ensures that no damage can occur to the projection screen fabric while the case is being installed.
