Liesegang dv•470 – the practical projector
 Liesegang presents its dv•470 XGA
projector as an economical, yet robust option for presentations in small and
medium sized conference and education rooms. The dv•470 will be available as from end of November. With an
impressive luminous intensity of 2000 ANSI lumens, its contrast ratio of
500:1 is equally formidable. Numerous interface options – two computers,
three video inputs and a monitor output – ensure the projector’s suitability
for professional presentation in small and medium sized conference rooms. The
second RGB input can be also defined individually as RGB output. The Liesegang dv•470
offers a XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 and due to its 2.8 kg weight, is also
very suitable for portable usage. To ensure ease of servicing and to
facilitate lamp changes with ceiling installation, the appropriate opening is
located on the top side of the projector. Video representations are optimally
projected thanks to progressive scan (De-Interlacing). Automatic signal
source recognition and manually adjustable film mode recognition make this
projector very easy to handle.

Epson: EMP-750 and Epson EMP-755
Whether
for on-location presentations on customer’s site, at trade shows, at the POS
or in a conference room – Epson’s ultra-portable EMP-750 and EMP-755
projection professionals offer a solution for these kinds of applications.
With a mere 1.7kg and 1.8kg weight, these new XGA projectors offer more than
one would expect: 2000 ANSI lumens, Epson’s eye sensitive 3LCD technology and

SANYO: the new PLC-XU86 and
PLC-XU83 projectors
In
September, SANYO expanded its business and education product line with three
new entry-level models. With its new PLC-XU83 and PLC-XU86 projectors, SANYO
is rounding off its line-up in the strongest sales segment: XGA, 2000 – 2500
ANSI lumens. In terms of specifications, both units are more generously
equipped and are targeted primarily at corporate/business users. One of the
major highlights is the integrated
LAN (RJ-45) and WLAN connector. Not only do they permit wireless
transfer of presentation data, they allow the projectors to be controlled and
managed over wireless and cable networks as well. A brightness of 2500
(PLC-XU86) or 2000 (PLC-XU83) ANSI lumens and a contrast ratio of 400:1
guarantee that data is displayed in vivid detail even in difficult lighting
conditions. The XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) contributes to the
outstanding image quality as well. The lenses have been completely revised
and optimized. With projection ratios of 1.44-2.25:1 (PLC-XU83) and
1.23-1.93:1 (PLC-XU86), there should be a place for these new projectors in
virtually every conference room. With its 2.6 kg, the projector is a true
lightweight.

Toshiba: flexible presentations
with the C001 projection camera
 Toshiba Projection & Display
Technology (PDT) now offers the option of a projection camera for Toshiba
projectors. The optional c001camera is mounted on a flexible arm 55 cm in
length and can be swivelled through a full 360 degrees. A CMOS sensor with
three million pixels guarantees crystal-clear images. This add-on
”Visualizer” system is designed to appeal primarily to customers in the
fields of business and education. It enables, say, hand-written notes to be
incorporated easily into a lecture, or objects to be projected onto a wall or
screen for closer examination. The projection camera also enables today’s
projectors to double up as classic overhead projectors. For customers who
already own a Toshiba projector, the camera is a simple method of upgrading
their device to the same range of functions as a new model with integrated
camera. The optional c001 projection camera is easily connected to all common
Toshiba projectors via the RGB port. The camera comes into its own at
unversity lectures or product presentations in conference rooms, projecting
razor-sharp images of any objects, sketches or diagrams required onto the
screen. Even in larger presentation rooms, the zoom of up to 400% enlarges
details to give a clear view right to the back row. Further useful features
of the camera are the gain setting to optimize contrasts, and the scroll
function enabling the projected section to be changed without moving the
object or slide.

sax3d.com: HOPS.®-Touch
– the interactive device
sax3d.com
presents HOPS.®-Touch. The interactive device, consisting of capacitive foil
and connector, is set up onto the rear of HOPS.®,
the Holographic-Optical Projection Screen. The device is then connected via
cable to a PC, which then again is connected to a projector. Special Windows®
compatible software helps aligning the device; various glass thicknesses can
be considered here. HOPS.® products are mainly
characterized by transparency, brilliant images and sharpness as well as
homogeneity of image surfaces. All these characteristics are carried forward
in the HOPS.® -Touch. A very long-lasting life span
and easy handling are the results. The fact that the device is located on the
rear of the projection screen, thus avoiding direct contact between user and
the interactive device, helps achieving those positive results. A special
highlight, however, is the fact that users will only need their own hand to
operate HOPS.® -Touch; further tools such as pens
are not needed at all.

G+B provova:
HoloPro in the San Francisco De Young Museum
In
October 2005, after a construction period of five years, the new building of
the San Francisco De Young Museum reopened up to the public. Planned by the
architects Herzog & de Meuron, the De Young
Museum, the city’s largest museum, unites collections that encompass both
famous cultural objects from Western art and the whole world. The building
does not only impress because of its exiting architecture; the presentation
of exhibits itself is remarkable because the museum in the Golden Gate Park breaks new ground. The most
important collection pieces can be scrolled through in a unique high tech
installation on room-high screens. This project, developed by San Francisco’s Propp
+ Guerin, is one of the largest HoloPro™
installations worldwide. HoloPro™ consists of
holographic optical elements which are presented on a highly transparent film
via laser. Thanks to the light directing effect of the HoloPro™,
it is possible to project from the ceiling onto a glass surface via rear
projection. This results in a sharp, contrast rich image even in daylight.
The displays are installed in the museum’s access free Kimball Education
Gallery. They serve for a room-high interactive presentation surface for the
De Young’s main exhibitions. If the room needs to be used for receptions or
workshops, the projection is shut off and the glass elements become part of
the room’s decoration without disturbing the users in any way. "We
wanted something beautiful," says Sheila Pressley, director of the De
Young Museum’s Education Program.

MediaScreen GmbH: innovative presentation- and multimedia
technology
 The
CP2200 projector housing including integrated dual-circuit cooling
circulation system in compact design was designed for continuous operation of
LCD- and DLP projectors in advertising, POI and POS applications. Due to the
high cooling performance of 2.2KW it is now possible to also save
high-performance projectors of up to 10,000 Ansi
lumens from contamination and hence to lengthen the projector’s life span.
Also new: The presentation system that was introduced as early as 2004 under
the name WTO65 was recently equipped with a frame-less, transparent Holo panel (Mediascreen WTH65)
and now serves as a special POI-POS display. With a mere depth of 55 cm and a
weight of just 60 kg, this system can also be used for ceiling installations.
Naturally, this innovative and delicately designed 65“
projection system can also be used at trade shows, events and in
conference rooms. MediaScreen enhanced the rental
park by the ScreenTower 125 (photo), a mobile
high-end 3D rear projection system designed for playback of 3D data and video
contents. Thanks to an integrated 3-chip DLP projection element featuring a
total of 14,000 Ansi lumens, all common 3D
procedures can be used for representing 3D content. Designed for presentation
in front of a large audience, this system allows for using inexpensive and
event-suitable 3D glasses – depending on the kind of installation e.g.
passive Stereo. The projector’s high SXGA+ resolution allows for playing back
nearly all common SD-video, HD-video and graphic formats. Transmission can be
realized through temporally synchronized dual sources or through sequential
mono sources using signal conversion. The ScreenTower
72 – 3D Work 3D projection system technically corresponds to its „bigger
brother“ ScreenTower 125, but, due to the low image
bottom line, it was specifically designed to be used as high resolution VR
working station, apart from the use on events and at trade shows. The
high-end 3D display enables non-fatigue, plastic real-time 3D construction,
modelling and analyzing directly at the work station. And, the display can be
enhanced by various interactive control and input media such as VR-tracking,
3D mouse etc.

offer the 134" basic rear screen edition (3.4 m diagonal) including the
Media Vision magic double vision package for rent during the world cup 2006
in Germany. The technology is based on the Media Vision
world cup double vision sandwich projector set in the 10,000 ANSI lumens
class. Two of these systems are used in a 4 x 3 m screen installation.
Noteworthy: Even in case of projector or lamp failure, the second beamer
serves as a backup and ensures smooth flow. Media Vision is looking for
active sales partners for selective sales with customer protection.

advanced signal processing, such as cropping, zooming, re-sizing, data
extraction and Picture in Picture capabilities. Image Master also offers the
additional advantage of Synelec's powerful Indisys processing system architecture, designed for videowall application and graphic display distribution. Christophe Nivet, marketing and
communications manager at Synelec, comments:
"Today's control room environment often dictates that some information
on the video wall requires closer inspection in order that critical data can
be examined in more detail and used to its full advantage. The most efficient
and effective way to achieve this is to 'extract' the relevant pieces of data
and show it on a different screen in an alternative location, sometimes
altogether external to the control room. However, it is essential that,
during this time the rest of the operation continues to run as normal."
Image Master has been developed to address increasingly diversified control
room configurations. It allows for displaying sources on all types of
displays equipped with DVI input: TFT, plasma, front projector, DLP or LED
cubes. It has a processing capability of up to 4 DVI signals,
therefore enabling expansion of Synelec's Indisys digital network.Image
Master is also compatible with Synelec's range of
display panels, including the newly launched L40 and L46.

TANDBERG: teams with Cisco on
advanced collaborative care solution
TANDBERG
has teamed with Cisco Systems, Inc. on its new Clinical Connection Suite to
speed the time to diagnosis and treatment. Based on the Cisco Medical-Grade
Network, the Cisco Clinical Connection Suite provides real-time
communications, monitoring, collaboration, and resource tracking, delivered
as a four-part, integrated clinical solution. Integrating TANDBERG’s video technology with Cisco’s Medical-Grade Network,
healthcare providers improve patient care by bringing the patient and
critical information together with the right caregiver or specialist from any
location. One of the first clients is the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
Spread across a network of eight regional hospitals and 32 remote sites,
healthcare providers faced the challenge of effectively diagnosing and
treating cancer patients with a limited number of radiologists, pathologists
and oncologists. The NHS deployed TANDBERG video solutions over a Cisco
network so that cancer specialists throughout the system could collaborate
face-to-face on patient diagnosis and treatment plans. Collaborative care
provides facilities, such as NHS, with an invaluable tool for meeting the
diverse needs of the growing communities they serve.

35) AVE Verhengsten:
media performance for
Volkswagen
Volkswagen
boosted its appearance on IAA 2005 by a powerful media performance that
entertained visitors on the booth in hall 3 on the Frankfurt exhibition grounds. The show’s
content was developed by an assigned agency, while AVE Verhengsten
took over the realization of projection and large display technology. AVE Verhengsten had been assigned with this project directly
by VW. The trade show service provider used 11 mobile LED walls, 14 HD
projectors, various cameras as well as corresponding servers and direction
equipment among other equipment. Dancers performed behind gauze in
combination with mobile LED walls and high-performance projectors. The LED
walls consisting of 15 Barco ILite
6 modules each were positioned behind the gauze over a length of more than 70
meters, and in consistence with the dancing choreography they were moved motorized
by time code control. In addition, seven HD 35 projectors were used, each of
which projected onto the gauze from the front. The presentation was further
enhanced for the press events, when an additional live video projection was
shown. AVE then used an extra 12 projectors featuring soft edge and 5 channel
synchronized servers.
