2) projectiondesign: Virtual Efficiency Congress
Norway’s projectiondesign sponsored the first Virtual Efficiency
Congress held at SpOrt Stuttgart in Germany 5-6
November, 2009. The event saw the first ever demonstration of the company’s
flagship three-chip F80 1080 DLP projectors in a stereo visualization
configuration, using embedded INFITEC wavelength multiplex imaging filter
technology. The result was outstanding passive stereoscopic 3D images and
highly consistent, accurate and comfortable viewing from any angle. This type
of configuration is perfect for bright, large-screen viewing in a range of
environments such as VR analysis, museums, CAVEs
and large room presentations. More: http://www.projectiondesign.com |

5) eyevis: DLP Rear Projection Cube with LED Light Source
With the
new EC-LED cube series, eyevis presents a
revolution in the fields of modular video walls. The displays are available
in different sizes and resolutions. Besides native HD-resolution (1,920 x
1,080 px) and SXGA+ (1,400 x 1,050 px), this new technology will also be available in WUXGA
resolution (1,920 x 1,200 px) in 16:10 image
format. With this rear-projection cube with LED light source, eyevis has set a milestone. The cube is designed for
sophisticated 24/7 applications. The technology is based on the DLP (Digital
Light Processing)-technology by Texas Instruments. This display technology
allows the display of high-resolution images in best image quality. The cubes
were developed according to the requirements in areas with difficult lighting
conditions and other security relevant conditions. The MTBF of the LED’s
averages 55,000 hours according to the manufacturer. All other components of
the cube are of highest quality “made in Germany” and designed for continuous
operation. More: http://www.eyevis.de 6)
Barco: New OL series available for sale
Visualization specialist Barco announced that its new LED-lit rear-projection
video walls are now available for sales. The OL series of video walls
presents significant quality improvements over the current state of the art in
LED projection. Barco's OL rear projectors come
with Sense6, a sensor technology which co-ordinates across multiple
rear-projection modules to provide brightness and color
stability over time and across the entire video wall screen. An integrated
spectrometer continuously measures brightness and color
characteristics of the full visual spectrum. Sense6's algorithms monitor the
outputs of these spectrometers in real time and then dynamically and
automatically adjust all the projectors of the video wall to generate an
image that is most suited for viewing by the human eye. Unlike factory
calibrated systems, the OL continuously measures and adjusts color and brightness in real time and therefore requires
no maintenance or manual adjustments. Barco's OL
series makes a more compact control room design possible. The new OL series
has also been specifically designed for ultra-fast set-up and configuration,
which allows for savings on installation time and expenses. The projection
module is delivered as a pre-installed and pre-aligned unit. Colors and brightness auto-calibrate. The micro-engine
needs no alignment stage, since the imager itself is motorized. More: http://www.barco.com 7) Mitsubishi Electric: L46XM – slimline LCD
display
Designed
specifically for the control room market, the L46XM can be used to create an
extremely compact, standalone display wall system. Mitsubishi's Color Space Control accurately adjusts the color and brightness of each display automatically to
deliver a consistent display wall image. Built-in Digital Gradation Circuits
elevate the brightness level at the edges of each display to create uniform
brightness across the entire wall. Each display shares data from its built-in
brightness sensor with its neighbours, enabling the Dynamic Brightness
Balancing feature to maintain a uniform display wall brightness level over
extended periods of time. With a total mullion width of 7.3mm, the slimline LCD display is particularly useful for
multi-screen applications where floor space is limited, for example, in small
CCTV security or surveillance rooms, broadcast suites or incident rooms. The
L46XM is also very suitable for industrial process and power generation
monitoring facilities. L46XM offers a high-quality 46" diagonal WXGA
(1366 x 768 pixel) display, delivering 700 cd/qm brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. The 178º
viewing angle ensures good visibility across a wide arc, and with its
professional-grade build quality and design, users can expect a long operational
life. The whole range, which will include a soon-to-be-announced LED-powered
cube engine, will be on show at ISE 2010, RAI Amsterdam, 2-4
February. More: http://vis.mitsubishielectric.co.uk 8) Conrac: New Narrow Bezel Display Series
A
pioneering new feature has been added to CONRAC’s
Narrow Bezel Displays. Essential especially for displays installed in large
networks is “Display Performance Monitoring” (cDPM).
Despite the almost frameless design a special sensor has been integrated in
the front bezel. This sensor continuously monitors the TFT panel’s function
(backlight, inverter, power supply and interface). Any malfunction is
immediately detected and reported giving total control over all screens
connected. The latest generation of flat screens for digital signage is
mainly characterised by the thin bezel design. A bezel width of less than
15mm, the high resolution and excellent image quality makes the Narrow Bezel
series the ideal displays for cluster solutions. An application long waited
for can now be realised: large display-walls using large flatscreens
with near to no disturbing frame in between. More: http://www.conrac.de 9) 3M: Multi-touch Capabilities for Windows 7
3M Touch
Systems announced that its Projected Capacitive and Surface Capacitive touch
screen products have achieved the “Compatible with Windows 7” logo. 3M
Projected Capacitive touch technology has received Windows Touch Additional
Qualification (AQ) status for multi-touch interactivity by meeting 100% of
the testing criteria. This 3M touch technology offers Windows 7 developers
“true” multi-touch functionality with 10-finger simultaneous touch capability
for real-world multi-finger and multi-user applications. This technology is
currently available as a 19-inch multi-touch developer’s kit. The MicroTouch System SCT3250EX (HID) from 3M, based on the
company’s Surface Capacitive touch technology, has received the “Compatible
with Window 7” logo for single touch and digitised gesture capabilities. With
this certification, customers are assured that their 3M touch screen displays
or 3M touch-enabled devices with 3M USB-HID connectivity will plug and play
with the Windows 7 operating system without loading touch drivers. This helps
assure ease of integration and helps VARs and systems integrators take
advantage of the touch functionality built into Windows 7 as they rollout new
programs or upgrade existing ones. The SCT3250EX HID product is available in
display sizes ranging from 6.4 inches to 32 inches. More: http://www.3M.co.uk/touch 10) Gefen: HDMI v1.3 over CAT-5 ELR (Extra Long Range) extender
Connectivity
solutions provider Gefen announced the release of
its HDMI v1.3 over CAT-5 ELR (Extra Long Range) extender. This
sender/receiver system sends high definition video with audio, Ethernet and
IR back channel up to 330 feet (100m) over just one CAT-5 cable. This is
nearly double the distance previous systems could reach using two CAT-5
cables. The ability to extend Ethernet allows IP-based applications to be
easily integrated into the system, and an IR blaster allows the remote source
to be controlled by an IR remote pointed at the display. Hi-def resolutions
up to 1080p/60 full HD supporting deep color, lip
sync and 8.1 digital audio with Dolby TrueHD and
DTS Master Audio are delivered instantly from the local source to the
extended display. The system's sender unit connects to the source; the
receiver unit connects to the display. One CAT-5 cable connects the sender to
the receiver, and may be placed in conduit or run along the floor. A true
plug and play installation, ease of use and a reliable, steadfast performance
make the HDMI v1.3 CAT-5 ELR a valuable product for anyone installing hi-def
audio/video systems today. More: http://www.gefen.com 11) Crestron: HDMI Distribution Amplifier
The
HD-DA-2-QUAD is a single rack-space unit containing four independent 1-to-2
HDMI distribution amplifiers. It is designed to split up to four HDMI, DVI,
or DisplayPort Multimode signals to feed separate
displays or processors, and is ideal for adding "loop-thru"
capability to the inputs of a Crestron DVPHD
Digital Video Processor. The HD-DA-2-QUAD supports HDMI 1.3a w/Deep Colour
and HDCP, handling 1080p60 HDTV and WUXGA computer resolutions, and
multi-channel HD lossless audio. The HD-DA-2-QUAD is also perfect for
presentation and home theatre systems that include more than one or two
displays. The HD-DA-2-QUAD expands the capabilities of the HD-MD8x2 QuickSwitch HDMI switcher. The HD-MD8x2 accepts eight
HDMI sources (or a combination of composite, component, S-video, VGA, DVI, DisplayPort and Ethernet, using a DMCI - DigitalMedia Card Interface) and transmits up to two of
those sources to two displays. Adding the HD-DA-2-QUAD enhances the system to
accommodate more HD displays. More: http://www.crestron.co.uk 12) HELVAR: Lighting Control at Independence of the Seas

BrightSign digital sign controllers have been installed in the VIP Room Theater, one of the most famous Paris nightclubs. The
installation features coffee tables with 32-inch screens set horizontally
into the table top. Video clips and playlists are
updated remotely over the Internet using the BrightSign
Network Manager and users can send messages in real time to each table using
standard SMS text messaging. One of France's leading digital agencies - L'île des Médias - was
commissioned by a major champagne company to design the six video tables,
adapted to the nightclub environment. The goal was to reinforce the
champagne's exclusive image by showing advertising clips, videos from its
elite nightclub events and presentations of its VIP suites in Cannes, St
Tropez and Paris. To add a further personal touch, the client wanted to show
welcome messages alongside the main video zone. Each of the six interactive
video tables is managed remotely via an Internet connection to update
content. Video content is updated around once a month over the Internet and
delivered in high-definition 1080i format. Text messages are delivered to the
table screens via an Internet gateway and displayed in an RSS feed zone
defined by the BrightSign's configuration. BrightSign Network Manager simplifies the task of
automated updates and L'île des Médias
created a special application to make the SMS text messages display on the BrightSign units. More: http://www.brightsign.biz 14) TANDBERG/BroadSoft: Extended their joint
