19) Kindermann: motor-driven ceiling lift for projectors
 Kindermann, a specialist for
conference technology solutions, broadens the programme for the company’s
ceiling mountings and presents a motor-driven ceiling lift. The advantage of
this solution is that the projector is “parked” in a kind of intermediate
ceiling and is protected for theft and damage. The beamer can be “driven” to
every desired height via an electric drive. Via switches or media control the
lift transports the projector out of the ceiling into a preset position. At
the same time it is switched on. After the presentation, the device is carried
back into the chamber and switches off the power. The projector ceiling lift
by Kindermann provides serially an arm-out-lift of 120 centimetres. If
wanted, a lift extension of 40 up to
240 centimetres is possible. The weight limit is 25 kg so it is possible to
assemble even projectors for big conference rooms. A metal spiral with
cable-guidance in the lift protects the control cables for damage and cable
break.

“zoom”, “full”, “14:9” and “2,35:1” modi. The new plasmas possess in addition
special features for the application at POS/POI and multimedia. It is
possible to establish video walls of each with 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 screens of the
displays. Thus a gigantic display diagonal of 183 inches, that means over
4.60 metre with 61XM2, can be realised. Therefore the plasma displays in 16:9
size are attractive and highly visible especially as advertisement- and
information-displays for example in the retail, at events, in airports or

21) WS-Spalluto: Multiformatscreen for 4:3, 16:9, 1,85:1 + 2,35:1
In the home
cinema market 4 picture sizes became widely accepted during the last years.
During the projecting process the image is projected on the screen with
different image heights. On a 4:3 standard screen, white areas are still
visible over and under the actual image . The solution for this problem is a
screen that can be adjusted to the image material. While using the WS-Multi
format screen, the user is able to switch to the different video formats.
With the remote control the formats 4:3, 16:9, 1,85:1 and 2,35:1 are
recallable. The main screen and the making screen move together. The optical
centre stays always the same and it is not necessary to make any changes at
the projection axis. Both single screens and the radio remote control are
housed in a quite small double box (160x120, 200x150, 240x180).

issue such screen materials had: "SilverFabric" is rollable,

of the new Silver Screen is breath taking: with a peak polarization ratio of
80:1, a half gain angle of 17 degrees and a peak gain of just 2.4. So the 3-D
channel separation is comparable to the most expensive hardboard screens.
SilverFabric passed extreme test positions of e.g. Fraunhofer Gesellschaft

material is a fantastic solution for professional customers, obviously,
Porrmann&Awater's price strategy (€ 119.50 per sqm) targets the midrange-
