projectiondesign® F35 AS3D – world’s highest resolution 3D single chip DLP® projector now available


WATCH THE VIDEO ABOUT THE F35 AS3D HERE.

Fully uncompressed 3D at up to 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and 120 Hz for superior imaging and performance.

Further consolidating the Norwegian manufacturer’s reputation for innovation in display technology, projectiondesign® announces that its F35 AS3D – the world’s highest resolution Active Stereo 3D DLP® projector – is now available for immediate shipping.

With up to 1,920 x 1,200 pixel resolution at full 120 Hz refresh rates, the F35 AS3D displays fully uncompressed 3D with more detail than any projector in its size, price and performance category, creating the best and most life like 3D experience available anywhere.

“One of the real user benefits lies in the deployment of our newly developed dual bandwidth imaging”, says Anders Løkke, Marketing Director at projectiondesign. “With double the image processing speed of competing products, we are able to display pictures that do not rely on compression technologies, thus outputting full image detail and accuracy without artefacts.”

Particularly useful for scientific visualization, virtual reality, visitor attraction and training and simulation applications, these higher detail levels allow users to make quicker and better-informed decisions, saving them both time and money.

The F35 AS3D is based on the already popular F35 wqxga model – the highest resolution DLP projector available for commercial use. Roger Carver, manager of DLP’s front projection business at Texas Instruments, developers of the DLP imaging platform, comments: “The F35 wqxga was a stunning technological achievement – now the F35 AS3D version takes this innovation to a new level of image detail. We are proud to be associated with such ground-breaking engineering by a manufacturer that is consistently pushing the boundaries of industry imaging standards and excellence.”

The F35 AS3D features a wide range of specifically designed high resolution projection lenses and incorporates projectiondesign’s unique RealColor™ colour management suite for perfect on-site calibration and unmatched colour accuracy. Natural and precise colours add to the high-resolution performance of the F35 AS3D, and image quality can be guaranteed over any number of projection channels.

The projector offers brightness levels up to 7,500 ANSI lumens, a range of configuration options, and seamless switching between 3D and 2D. Additional benefits include user adjustable Smear Reduction Processing that reduces motion artefacts in high-speed imaging – yet another key feature for simulation applications.

As with all projectiondesign professional projectors, the F35 AS3D benefits from up to five years of full 24/7 warranty availability and is incorporated into the company’s ProNet asset management software suite.

Hitachi Now Offers Its CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN Networkable Portable Projectors With Upgraded Features and Versatile Connectivity

CHULA VISTA, California, October 27, 2011 — Hitachi America, Ltd., Digital Media Division, Business Solutions Group today announced the availability of its CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN networkable mobile projectors, two new models that offer versatile networking and connectivity options for business and educational applications. The 3LCD projectors provide a host of upgraded performance and convenience features, and combine outstanding image quality with ease of use and Intelligent Eco environmentally friendly operation.

Both projectors incorporate Hitachi’s new Intelligent Eco feature, which automatically changes the brightness of the lamp according to the level of the input signal. The lamp becomes brighter when the input signal is high and dimmer when the input signal is low, reducing energy consumption and conserving lamp life. The CP-X3021WN delivers 3,200 ANSI lumens brightness while the CP-X2521WN provides 2,700 ANSI lumens.

The CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN offer extensive networking capabilities. Both projectors can be remotely controlled via a local area network (LAN) connection. In addition, both models have encrypted wireless computer connection capability via an optional available USB wireless adapter (model USB-WL-11N). The CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN can project the same computer image to a maximum of 12 projectors simultaneously via a network, a useful feature for seminars, shareholders’ meetings, campus meeting and other activities. In addition, the images from up to four computers can be projected onto the four quarters of a screen. A Moderator Control Mode (MC Mode) lets a moderator control the output of up to 50 computers through the network into the projector.

Both projectors feature Hitachi’s Campus Notification System (CNS), now with an audio alert function, for sending campus-wide announcements and important messages throughout a local area network. Both models’ PC-Less Presentation feature enables users to project images directly from a USB drive or other USB storage device, eliminating the need to connect a laptop or desktop computer.

The lightweight, compact CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN are designed for total ease of use, thanks to a new, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that can be displayed in 31 languages. Both projectors provide a 2000:1 contrast ratio and XGA resolution. Both include a USB computer connection and an RJ-45 jack for network connectivity, along with HDMI, component, S-video and composite video inputs, with RGB inputs and outputs, audio connections, and an RS-232C port. The CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN also have a built-in amplifier and speaker and a microphone input. Both models have an audio pass-through function that enables the audio to play through the projector’s audio output even in standby mode when only sound is required.

The projectors offer numerous additional convenience and performance features. An upgraded Template function displays white or black lines to make writing on a whiteboard or blackboard easier, and can display a moveable world map. The CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN provide improved Zoom functions to zero in on a desired portion of an image. An Input Source Naming function lets the user customize the names of input sources. Both projectors come with a remote that provides MyMemory, MyText, MySource and MyScreen buttons for fast access to frequently used functions and sources. Both include automatic vertical Keystone correction, a Kensington slot, closed captioning capability and additional features. Both models have a newly redesigned chassis that directs the air exhaust from the front rather than the back, to not disturb audience members who are sitting close to the back of the projector.

The CP-X3021WN and CP-X2521WN are compatible with Crestron® RoomView™ software that enables them to integrate seamlessly with a Crestron control system.

Christie Stages Impressive Concert Experience At LDI 2011

YK50

YK50

Christie is lighting up the LDI 2011 trade show from Oct. 28 – 30 with a variety of projection solutions, including the worldwide releases of the Christie YK50 dual-arm moving yoke and projector system, and Christie AutoStack 2.0, a camera-based, software-driven solution used to automatically align and blend images in multi-projector arrays. Designed to stimulate the senses and simulate a concert stage, the Christie booth also features the rest of the Christie Nitro Solutions family (Christie YK100 and Christie YK200), the North American debut of Christie J Series – the next generation of Christie’s world-renowned Xenon 3-chip DLP projector platform, and the multiple award-winning Christie MicroTiles. Two Christie Spyder X20 video processors are driving all content displayed in the booth.

The Christie YK50 is a small, dual-arm projector yoke. Designed for use with the Christie LX700 or Christie LHD700 projector, the Christie YK50 is suitable for moving projection applications in houses of worship, museums, trade shows, nightclubs and other venues where space is limited.

Christie is demonstrating its innovative AutoStack 2.0 and AutoStack Curve twice daily during the show. The Christie AutoStack 2.0 software update provides a new user interface for the current camera-based system and the separate AutoStack Curve module enables AutoStack 2.0 to be used on curved surfaces.

Introduced in September 2011, the Christie J Series makes its North American debut this week with the Christie Roadster HD20K-J on display. This new platform targets a variety of applications within the rental, staging and fixed installation markets that require high brightness, superior performance and crisp, clear images every time – all in a compact, rugged and reliable package. The Christie J Series includes 2D and 3D-capable models, a range of brightness levels from 6200 ANSI (6850 center) lumens to 20,000 ANSI (22,000 center) lumens and three resolutions: SXGA+ (1400 x 1050), HD (1920 x 1080) and WUXGA (1920 x 1200).

Arranged in tower formats, a Christie MicroTiles array flanks either side of the concert stage along with a ribbon-style MicroTiles array running along the bottom. Displaying stunning visual performances, Christie MicroTiles offer substantially brighter images, a much broader color palette, and a virtually seamless canvas compared to conventional flat panel LCD and plasma displays.

On the concert stage backdrop, Christie is using the Screen Goo High Contrast coating system to demonstrate its eye-catching projection solutions. Screen Goo allows rental stagers to transform any smooth paintable surface into a high performance projection screen, perfectly complementing the physical structure where the video projection displays.
