 The F1+ from Toshiba Projection
& Display Technology (PDT) is the latest high-end projector for business.
The F1+ has been designed by the Norwegian Toshiba cooperation partner
Projection Design and is intended especially for round-the-clock use. The
projector is based on DLP technology from Texas Instruments and has a very
high 2500:1 contrast ratio. Its 2500 ANSI lumen brightness make perfect
picture reproduction possible even in poor lighting conditions. Another point
of note is the high resolution SXGA+ which, compared with XGA resolutions,
almost doubles the number of pixels. In other words the F1+ is a high
performance projector which really comes into its own in high quality
presentations such as are necessary in the field of medicine or for CAD/CAM
design. Thanks to its Sealed Optical Architecture the projector can also be
used in dusty environments without any problems and its low weight of only
3.4 kilos means it is easy to transport. Of course the F1+ also has a number
of inputs and outputs, for example DVI-D, RGB, USB, RS232 and a network port.

The
Hitachi Digital Media Group has presented the LCD projector CP-X445 – the
first business projector with four integrated loudspeakers. In presentations
picture and sound come over powerfully – you no longer need an external sound
system. Its 3,200 ANSI lumens, various inputs and simple operation mean the
CP-X445 is particularly suited to universities and schools but also for use
in medium-sized conference rooms. The CP-X445 can be controlled over a
network interface. A high 1.3 zoom factor along with vertical and horizontal
trapezium correction give the device the flexibility to be used in all kinds
of lecture room. And at 4 kilos it is not exactly heavy. With 39 dB the XGA
Business Projector is also pleasantly quiet. It has two RGB inputs along with
an additional DVI and composite input. The CP-X445 can be controlled by mouse
over the USB or RS232 interface – if ceiling mounted.

The new
EIKI projector EIP-3500 is an innovative DLP projector with 3500 ANSI lumens.
It is ideal for use in the office, for mobile presentations and permanent
installation. Its natural colour function avoids colour distortion,
especially red and yellow tones. The EIP-3500 has a hi-contrast mode of
2000:1 and a hi-brightness mode of 1000:1. That makes the projector flexible
in various environments and adjustable to user requirements. The auto focus
function in combination with the motor-zoom provides automatic optimal focus
for the picture. As soon as the projector warms up it projects a test picture
and automatically focuses with it. The EIP-3500 also automatically carries
out a vertical digital keystone correction. Nothing has to be manually
adjusted. Alongside an RS232 interface the projector also has its own
internal web browser – this makes control and remote maintenance possible
from any PC with a regular web browser. The colour wheel motor has been
constructed using air flow rather than bearings and this reduces the noise
levels to just 32 dB in the ECO mode.

Powerful
performance, a host of functions and despite that great mobility, that is
Sony’s new VPL-CX75. It is the number one in the ultra-portable business
projector series. It weighs just 2.9 kilos but with its 2500 ANSI lumen
brightness and functions like Sony’s Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup, Off
& Go and Side Shot, it is fully equipped. The VPL-CX75 is the first
ultra-portable projector fitted with Sony’s air shot technology. The
projector provides razor-sharp pictures in both light and darkened rooms. It
provides optimal presentations even when it is not possible to set up the

even when a cable connection is not possible. The innovative feature, Sony
air shot technology, simply integrates the projector into the conventional
wireless LAN environment using the air shot module which can be inserted into
the device. And the VPL-CX75 can do more than just receive picture data –
wireless control and configuration is also possible. Guarantee and service:
three year Sony PrimeSupport.

Who has not at
some point dreamt of sitting quite alone in the cinema watching your
favourite film in full size and with the full sound – without having to
listen to, “don’t we know each other?” or “shall I tell you who did it?”.
Well, Sharp will now be letting the dream come true with their XV-Z2000 HD2+
DLP video-data projector. The Videostar, specially developed for the home
cinema, with its 1200 ANSI lumens ensures a picture incredibly rich in
contrast (2500:1) and WXGA resolution (1.280 x 720 pixels) for powerful
private visual performances.

With the HT410
(W-VGA) and HT510 (W-PAL) NEC has newly developed two home-cinema models.
Both DLP data projectors provide real 16:9 home-cinema enjoyment at
beginners’ prices, are quiet as a whisper with 26 dB (eco), are impressive
with their 1,200:1 contrast and a bulb life of around 3,000 hours (eco). What
is sensational in this price class is the lens-shift function which makes the
positioning in the room or on the ceiling even more flexible without having
to activate quality reducing keystone correction. Of course the HT410 and
HT510 are fully compatible with HDTV and PAL sources, so there are no limitations
on the source devices (VCR, DVD, PC, TV). Nor has any expense been spared on
the equipment (5-segment colour wheel) or accessories (home cinema remote
control, smoke and dust protection housing, etc).

wheels, wide range of easy-to-change lenses from 0.8:1 to 4-7:1 plus a full
horizontal and vertical lens-shift function. The F3 is expressly suited for
constant 24/7 operation and offers a choice of settings which leave nothing
to be desired. The user can also choose between light performance settings,
all of which makes the F3 an extremely flexible projector. According to the
manufacturer the projector will be available from January 2005. It can be
seen from 26th to 28th January 2005 in the Integrated
Systems Europe, ISE, in Amsterdam at booth 4105.

With the
compact 693 plus Geha is launching a high-performance high-end data video
projector. The top model is excellently suited to front, back and ceiling
projection and ideal for use in conference or training course rooms. The 4000
ANSI lumen brightness and 500:1 contrast guarantee top-class picture quality
in XGA resolution. The Eco mode allows the LCD projector’s brightness to be
reduced to 3200 ANSI lumens, which also reduces the noise level to below 34
dB, at the same time extending bulb life to up to 2000 hours. The number of
connection sockets for professional applications leaves nothing to be
desired: DVI input, VGA input, S-Video, component video and composite video
inputs along with monitor and audio outputs. Its strengths also include
automatic picture adjustment when mounted on the ceiling, horizontal and
vertical Keystone correction, picture-in-picture and a freeze-function. The
remote control which comes with it which has a laser pointer and mouse
control makes operation a case of "easy-handling".

Behind
the result of this equation is the new company South Mountain Technologies
(SMT). It has been founded by the InFocus Corporation, specialists for
digital projection technology and services, and the TCL Corporation (thanks
to its joint venture with Thomson the largest TV manufacturer worldwide) with
the aim of making a strategic partnership. The new firm belongs equally to
both partners. It manufactures front and back projection engines and
projectors. The headquarters of this joint venture, which consists of the
parent company and three 100 percent subsidiaries, is in the Chinese special
economic zone Shenzhen. Two further research and development centres have
been set up in Norway and the USA. InFocus and TCL are both investing ten
million US dollars in the joint venture. However the whole transaction still
has to be approved by the Chinese government. Production will only start
after that. Teams from InFocus from Norwegian and the USA along with TCL from
China will develop the new SMT products. SMT can produce cost-efficient and
at the same time qualitatively high-level devices for worldwide OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) customers at each production location.

Here
the many advantages of Digital Light Processing (DLP) products are becoming
clear and convincing more and more manufacturers to use this technology: in
the days before Christmas Texas Instruments has delivered its 5 millionth DLP
sub-system. Last year the increasing demand for DLP products led to
accelerating growth. While it took five years – from 1996 to 2001 – for the
company to reach the first million DLP units delivered to the companies, the
second million were sold in just on two years. Then in March 2004 the third
million was reached. The two “missing” million DLP units to reach the five
million mark have left Texas Instruments in the last eight months. The
manufacturers have learned to appreciate the advantages of the DLP: no more
burning or fading, rich full colours and unbeatable contrast. Constant innovation
and differentiation amongst the manufacturers has made the market for DLP
based projectors and TVs more dynamic too. Today worldwide there are 50
different DLP TVs available from more than 6000 retailers and 100 percent of
the digital cinema screens use DLP cinema technology.

Websites,
computer programmes and communication in all their aspects are getting more
and more interactive. Presentations, congresses and training courses have to
keep up. That is where the IVS (Interactive Voting System) will be
indispensable. IVS is the communication means of the future. Interactive and
without cables it supports the exchanges between speaker and listener. It
will be integrated directly into the speaker’s presentation and with the IVS
can react anonymously to questions. The passive listener is transformed into
an active participant. One of the great advantages of the system is that the
data is available right after the polling has taken place. The anonymity can
also be disabled by using a chip card. The IVS is also finely suited to
knowledge tests at universities and schools or simply for (shareholder)
assemblies. The chip card can be further used to register the participants at

Within the framework of the OPEN HOUSE MUNICH the public had the chance to view high resolution
pictures in fantastic quality. Under the motto "Digital Production
Technology in Film and TV" this annual conference with an accompanying
exhibition took place on 11th November for the second time. DVS
was there with its real-time editing and finishing system CLIPSTER. During
the presentation on the subject "Digital Intermediate 12 Bit
Unplugged" Gappa explained the advantages of a fully digital workflow
chain in the post production, the so-called Digital Intermediate (DI). By
using this modern method the post-production companies can achieve enormous
increases in the quality of uncompressed, high-resolution pictures. Gappa
showed live the difference between films made with in 10 bits and pictures
filmed in 12 bits and then edited. The pure digital editing is done
completely with RGB pictures, so that colour information is not lost. The
result: top class film quality. Rich colours make the high resolution
pictures realistic and alive. Cinema will become an experience once again.
Another feast for the eyes came in the subsequent presentation of clips from
the production of "Seven Seasons" by Gogol Lobmayr. Here too
CLIPSTER made it possible for the first time to present pictures in an
uncompressed format.

headquarters is located in England, the page is on a UK domain. For this
reason too the page is in English. However for next year Christie has also

contacts. Since 2004 Europe has become, after Japan, the most important
market for Sharp worldwide. From year to year this exhibition is getting more
and more international. The average perception in Germany is enormous and
increasing constantly. The increasing importance of consumer electronics at
the CeBIT gives Sharp the chance to display a complete picture of the company
at one exhibition. As its focus this year Sharp has chosen the document
solutions segment, i.e. everything to do with printing, scanning and copying.
Sharp also deals with the growing importance of consumer electronics with a
separate stand section for LCD TVs, and the dynamic branch of mobile
communications.

At the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2005, Panasonic and
the distributor Lang Audiovision will be presenting the latest highlights
from DLP projection technology. The PT-D7700 is Panasonic’s flagship in the
installation class for large room projection. At stand
402 four units will be connected together in a soft-edge blending
application. This will be a demonstration of how they can be used for large
screens in the rental and event field or for permanent installation, for
example in entrance areas or company headquarters. The 3-chip projector
PT-D7700 has a brightness of 7000 ANSI lumens and a 4000:1 contrast. This
contrast ratio is supported by a dynamic aperture control which Panasonic has
now developed. Lang Audiovision will also bring a further Panasonic newcomer
into the spotlight: the PT-D5500. It will be proving its function as a real
all-rounder at the ISE. The one-chip device is installed in the
back-projection box which disconnects the projection from the surrounding
light. The PT-D5500 will be shown in an application as it would be at a
point-of-sale. With 5000 ANSI lumens brightness and a 1600:1 contrast the
projector provides natural and razor sharp pictures.

Zandar Technologies will be demonstrating the dynamic Fusion Series of
MultiViewers on stand 4202, hall 8
at the Integrated
Systems Europe (ISE).
Modular in design, the FusionPro MultiViewers have the ability to display
upto 8 (1RU) or 26 (3RU) video (analogue, HD, SDI) and computer sources on a
single display device in a choice of high-resolution formats. The Fusion
Series creates a 'virtual monitor stack' on any kind of LCD, plasma, and
projection system. FusionPro MultiViewers are non-PC based systems and ideal
for 24/7 multi-input monitoring from cameras, DVD, VCR, PCs in security/CCTV
controlrooms and broadcast facilities. As both video and PC graphics
(background and inputs) are supported, they also provide an eye-catching and
flexible approach to the AV industry for corporate presentations and public
information display. Showing for the first time will be the ZRP remote
control panel device that's designed to control Zandar MultiViewers at the
push of a button from the operator's desk. Also on display is the DX Series,
a cost-effective solution for multiple video input monitoring in standard definition
format. Modular in nature, 4 to 16 inputs in a compact 1RU frame are
supported. The DX Series is particularly targeted at budget-conscious
applications where multiple video/audio sources need to be monitored &
displayed.

At
Integrated Systems Europe 2005, Cabletime will present a brand new addition to the MediaStar family
of TV and video distribution systems (stand 5302). Built to run over existing and future
networks, this IP based solution promises to revolutionise video signal
delivery by extending the reach of visual communications within an
organisation. MediaStar Evolution has been designed to take advantage of the
developments in technology that allow efficient digital video delivery over
IP based networks. As well as enabling the delivery to be separated from
sensitive data networks, this process also offers a robust and cost effective
means of distributing a large number of channels to an unlimited number of
screens and desktops. Amongst the many applications suitable for Evolution
are corporate communications, which often require a one-to-many multicast,
locally, nationally or internationally, and may involve the delivery of live
TV channels, specific training programmes and messaging. Increasingly
provision of digital signage is being carried out over IP networks and
applications range from small displays in retail outlets to giant outdoor
displays in stadiums and arenas. At ISE, Cabletime is also demonstrating
MediaStar Pro and MediaStar compact.
