5) Canon: 5 percent for educational facilities
The deficits of the education system are very well known. Very often
these deficits are not only a question of learning and teaching but also a
question of the available teaching appliances. Therefore Canon offers a 5
percent-discount for all projectors. Thereby, the company wants to pay a
contribution to the field of education but also offers excellent presentation
possibilities to different teaching methods. Modern teaching and learning
methods require the use of appropriate technologies. Regardless whether
schools, advanced training facilities, universities, teaching- or training
associations – the projector-discount will be valid for every educational
facility. The premise is a certificate of an official facility. Private
institutes have to present a copy of their association membership or a copy
of their IHK-entry.

13) GMK: VAN DER ROLLE – the presentation wallpaper
The company
GMK presented at the photokina in Cologne VAN DER ROLLE - an innovative way
to easily create rooms into communicative places. You only have to put it on
like wallpaper and very soon a wall turns into a projection screen, a
whiteboard or a magnetic board. Only materials of the highest qualities are
used during the manufacture of VAN DER ROLLE. Because of the very accurate coating
technique, a 100% smooth and even coating of the vinyl base is achieved. The result is a
surface without any spots, stains or microscopic holes in which ink rests,
dirt and paint thinner could be sedimented. This would lead to durable
discolouration. The key to this coating technique is the use of teflon, the high
performance-theromplastic coating by DuPont. It shapes a surface that is
extraordinarily resistant against stains and impenetrable for paint thinners.
Moreover, it lasts longer than usual coatings. Dirt and stains can easily be
wiped away with a piece of cloth, a sponge a soft cleaning agent, or a soft
soap.

19) eyevis: MIC – the wide-ranging conference room
 Analysis have shown that most the
business people spend at least 25% of their working day in meetings, while
directors even spend 4/5 of their working hours in conferences. eyevis
presents with the MIC (Management Information Centre) a wide-ranging
conference room solution, which has been designed with the aim to clearly
edit the flood of information, to structure obviously and to present
interactively. The technical argument for the decision to use a video wall is
very simple. Back projection units can maintain their good contrast level
even under high ambient light. As long as the natural or artificial light
does not shine directly on the projection area the images will possess
extremely good contrast and extraordinary colour saturation, apart from the
good brightness.

model of the “Ceiling Visualizers VZ-C10”, which already could be marvelled
as prototype at the InfoComm in Las Vegas. It is the first device of this
kind. There is not only a camera in the ceiling – it is a complete
visualizer. The basic idea of the “Ceiling Visualizer” is to keep the table
or rostrum free so that there is no obstruction between the speaker and the
audience. No cables from table to device, objects can be much larger and much
higher and with an optional light box it is possible to record the biggest
radiograms (42 x 35 cm)! The Ceiling Visualizer can be installed on the
ceiling like a projector. In its design the Ceiling Visualizer adapts itself
at best to modern data projectors. The most popular feature of WolfVision`s
professional Visualizer series has been adapted for the Ceiling Visualizer
VZ-C10. The synchronized light field marks the absorption field of the
camera. Thereby it is easy for the speaker to place the copies in the right
position. The first devices of this production series will be on the market
in November 2002. The suggested retail price will be Euro 9,860.-.

JVC presented
two impressive novelities from the field of professional DV at this year`s
photokina: one was the GY-DV5000, a professional DV- camcorder, which uses
mini DV- cassettes as well as large cassettes with a playing time of up to
270 minutes! This new 3CCD- camcorder excels through its broadcasting
abilities, for example a 12- bit signal processor, ½"-Bayonet, LOLUX
etc. As a consequence JVC has developed an appropriate DV studio recorder,
the BR-DV3000. The main feature of this compact recorder is also the new 270 minute disc drive. In
addition, the spectacular D-ILA super projector DLAQX could be viewed at the
photokina with its extremely high QXGA resolution (2.048 x 1.536 pixels =
4-times XGA)

36) WACOM: new interactive
18”-Pen-Display
WACOM Europe GmbH demonstrated
among others things the new interactive Pen Display Cintiq 18SX at the
photokina. With the Cintiq range WACOM combines its patented electromagnetic
resonance technology with the idea to draw, create, navigate and animate with
a wireless pen no batteries needed directly onto the screen. The new Cintiq
18SX has a stepless individually adjustable bottom so it is possible to
adjust the Interactive Pen Display in an angle of inclination from 13 to 70
degrees. A particular highlight: The display can be rotated on its bottom
stepless about +/- 180 degrees. Thus it is possible to adapt the Cintiq 18SX
like a paper on a drawing board to the individual working method. The Pen
Display is supplied with a 18,1” LC-Monitor with SXGA-Resolution and 24bit
colour depth. The Cintiq 18SX will be delivered with a calibrated precise ICC
colour outline. Together with the pressure sensitive, wireless Cintiq Grip
Pen the Cintiq 18SX represents a perfect input medium for presentation –
while facing the audience and not the screen.

37) COMM-TEC: IVISTAR - RoomResourcing
 Reserving room and optimizing
space is becomig more and more important for companies, institutions,
congress centers and hotels. With the web-based software “VistaRoom”
RoomResourcing enables cost und space optimized room organization. Thereby
the technical equipment of the rooms is as easily managed as the snack
supplies. Entitled persons can make
reservations via the Internet or Intranet at any time from any where. After a
so called "binding reservation " which is facilitated with the help
of menus, various e-mails are automatically sent out to different people:
which room, which technology and which catering is booked by whom.
Furthermore cost sections can be allocated to these processes. This has the
advantage that the person reserving the room can immediately see how much the
event will cost. The labeling of doors and the visitors tour is done by the
software VistaRoom. Automatically and on time VistaDoor - tags and if
necessary installed visitor guiding components (VistaPanel-Großdisplays) are
labeled. The software is a modular set up, costs depend on the number of
rooms and door tags.

39) InFocus/Schell-Marketing:
Meetings are better than their reputation
How content
are European managers and employees with business meetings? Which factors
contribute to a successful or unsuccessful business conference? The answer to
these questions was given by a multinational survey, which was conducted by
the Shell Marketing Consulting, in Munich on demand by the InFocus
Corporation. 58.1 percent of those asked in Europe responded that meetings
are productive. The most positive attitude was held by the British with 61.3
percent. Furthermore the Swedish followed with 60.2 percent and then the
French with 59.5 percent affirming the productivity of meetings. In Germany
only 51.7 held this opinion- clearly here a optimizing potential can be
found. The employees and the management are approximately 3.2 times per week
in a meeting. The results of the survey prove that meetings are generally
seen more positive than was expected- a process which is also pushed by the
usage of modern technologies. Nevertheless the survey clearly demonstrates
that there is room for improvement, after all according to the survey 41.9
percent of the European average still perceive meetings as being
unproductive.

41) IC Panel: Projectors in Europe 1 HJ / 2002
The last years
had produced very good sales for projector manufactures altogether the market
developed rather disappointingly in the first half of the year 2002
particularly because of the economic depression. In the EMEA-Market (Europe
& Middle East) 301,000 projectors had been sold in total, the best growth
rate with 85% in comparison to the last year was in the Home-Cinema segment.
Regionally considered, Germany remains with a total sale of 61,216 projectors
the largest market, but the sales market could only be increased by 1,7
percent in comparison to the second half of 2001. Also France, the third
largest market only achieved 4,4 percent. Great Britain and Ireland resisted
these trends (23,3% = 59.131 pieces). In all Western European states 267,322
projectors had been sold after 252,003 (+6,07%) in the second half year 2001.
In the different target groups the “Mobile Office” is by far the largest
area, but the draw of field in regards of growth is “Home Cinema”. While the
areas “Conference Room” will increase with 13,5% (302,646 pieces in 2001 to
343,261 in 2002) and “Mobile Office” will put on 17,5%, the comparatively
small “Home Cinema” segment will grow only to 85% (from 54,949 pieces in 2001
to 101,560 in 2002). The 350 pages long IC-MARKET MONITOR Panel “PROJECTORS
IN EUROPE” is immediately available by the InterConnection Consulting Group
for 3,900,- €.

42) Samsung- large display sets record
According to
its producer Samsung the new plasma display PS-42 P2ST sets new records. The
huge display (display diagonal 42”) with a depth of 89 millimetres is
uniquely flat. The extremely small cabinet gives the impression of a free
floating image if the display is fixed to the wall. Samsung calls this effect
“Flying Windows”. The screen format of 16:9 supports six different picture
formats: normal, wide, panorama, zoom 1 and 2 as well as stretch. Even if the
surrounding light is very bright the representation on the plasma display
stays excellent because of a light intensity of 600 Candelar per square
metre. The contrast of 700:1 produces an extraordinarily sharp picture. The
resolution of 852 x 480 pixel with 1,677 millions of different colours
creates a detailed image representation. One is still able to overlook the
whole screen even from a slanted perspective of up to 160°.

46) exklusive: Publitec presents Sanyo PLC XF-45 RoadVersion
The company
Publitec from Hagen has developed a “RV Road Version” of the new high
performance projector PLC XF 45 together with Sanyo that was presented at the
photokina. The XF 45 is very remarkable because of its excellent features
like its 10.000 ANSI lumens, contrast ratio 1100:1 and motor horizontal &
vertical lens-shift. Publitec integrates the XF 45 into a newly developed
frame concept for the robust application in the daily rental and event area.
Because of that this innovative projector is very suitable for the road and
is an alternative to the considerably more expensive DLP-projectors of this
performance class. In addition to the function of the device protection, the
frame provides all necessary aspects for the user-friendly handling for every
day life in the rental staging area: versatile ergonomic transport
possibilities, stops for all “flying” varieties (clamps, couplers, brackets
etc.) of the projector in a frame, vertical stacking of a number of
projectors, “angular” installment, e. g. for mirror redirection etc. In
addition to that, Publitec offers a professional transport flightcase for the
touring equipment for the Sanyo PLC XF 45 RV.
