SANYO
Announces Two New LCD Projectors Brightest
In Their Class
LAS
VEGAS, COMDEX - BOOTH #L5826 - Nov. 15, 1999
- Sanyo, a leader in LCD projector
manufacturing, today announced the
PLC-EF10NA and PLC-XF10N. These two new LCD
projectors are the brightest in their class,
and come laden with many sophisticated
technological innovations aimed at producing
the best image quality possible.
 Brightest
in Their Class
The PLC-EF10NA produces a startling 3300
ANSI lumens with SXGA image resolution, and
the PLC-XF10N imparts an equally impressive
3000 ANSI lumens with XGA resolution, making
these two additions to the Sanyo projector
family the brightest in their respective
classes. Both units feature a power lens
shift to facilitate twin stacking of the
units. When twin stacked, the PLC-EF10NA
produces nearly 6600 ANSI lumens, and the
PLC-XF10N is capable of nearly 6000 ANSI
lumens, extremely impressive numbers by any
standards.
Proprietary Technology
Both units produce highly detailed images,
thanks to some proprietary new Sanyo
technology. Sanyo's new ASIC Progressive
Scan circuit incorporates an original Sanyo
algorithm to double the vertical resolution
of the picture resulting in near high
definition image quality from a standard
signal.
HDTV Capability
Because they are equipped with RGBHV inputs
both units are also capable of displaying
1080i high definition signals when fed this
new standard signal. Sanyo's newly developed
proprietary signal processing circuit
manages to achieve a dot clock of 202 mhz—one
of the first in the world to do so. The sum
total of these new and exclusive
technologies is picture quality with
previously unattainable levels of detail and
clarity.
Achieving Crucial Uniformity
A major challenge of high brightness
projection designed for large screen
applications has always been maintaining
high uniformity. Sanyo has designed a
proprietary Automatic Uniformity Correction
Controller Circuit to address and solve this
problem. This circuit significantly
increases color and brightness uniformity to
better than 85%, resulting in a picture with
no hotspots or uneven brightness.
Digital PC Interface
These new models are among the first LCD
projectors in the world to feature a digital
PC interface. Based on PanelLink[TM]
technology, the digital PC interface
features a graphics accelerator (PCI) board
that easily installs into a computer and
results in true plug and play compatibility.
Advantages of the PC interface include the
elimination of noise, ghosting, and
complicated setup adjustments. In addition,
longer cable runs are possible with no loss
of data from transmission of the signal. An
optional graphics accelerator card (PCMCIA
type II) allows these benefits to be
realized even while using a notebook or
laptop computer.
Digital Signal Processing
Signal processing is a crucial step in
ensuring high quality images from LCD
projectors. Sanyo's new units feature pure
digital processing circuits to get the most
out of the signals fed to them. Sanyo's
digital signal processing circuits, which
include digital gamma correction, digital
progressive scanning, and automatic color
correction work together to reproduce
vibrant images with accurate color and
precise details.
Multiple Lens Options for
Flexibility
While they are ideal for large venue
applications, the PLC-EF10NA and the
PLC-XF10N can be adapted easily for many
other environments. Both models come in a
version that ships with no lens, and allows
the user to mate the units with seven
optional lenses for tailor-made installation
solutions. Among the optional lenses
available are a wide zoom, wide fixed, long
range fixed, long range zoom, mid range
fixed and a mid range zoom. All lenses are
constructed of the highest quality optical
glass and feature high F values so that
pictures remain bright and clear.
Host of Standard Features
The PLC-EF10NA and PLC-XF10 feature a host
of other impressive features, including
laser pointer remote controls, reversable
pictures for rear projection, Sanyo's own
DRIT technology, easy to use on screen menus
and a variety of inputs.
