Adds Two LCD Projectors to Portable Line Up
Advanced Digital Technology Puts New PLC-XP18N & PLC-XP21N In a
League of Their Own
LAS VEGAS, November 13, 2000, COMDEX,
Booth #L5946 - Sanyo Fisher Company's Presentation Technologies
Division, whose parent company is one of the world's largest manufacturer
of LCD projectors, has expanded its line of high-quality portable
projectors with the PLC-XP18N and PLC-XP21N. These multimedia units
uniquely combine advanced digital features with extraordinary brightness,
making them ideal for a variety of presentation environments.
Weighing in at just 14.5 pounds, the PLC-XP18N and PLC-XP21N incorporate
Sanyo's proprietary light engine and a 200-watt UHP lamp to produce
an impressive 2000 and 2500 ANSI lumens, respectively. The units
also boast an XGA native resolution of 1024 x 768 and a solid contrast
ratio of 700:1, producing detailed images from 31 to 400 inches
diagonally. The PLC-XP18N retails for $9,995 (MSRP) while the PLC-XP21N
is priced at $11,995 (MSRP).
"Sanyo's portable projectors offer a complete presentation solution
for a variety of applications from sales and business to government
and education," said Robert Pearlman, marketing manager, Sanyo Computer
Peripheral Products. "Each unit offers a rich feature set while
a slight variance in brightness distinguishes one from the other,
providing our customers with the option to choose the projector
which best fills their needs and budget requirements."
Sanyo's newest portable projectors are equipped with a variety of
advanced digital features, including:
| • |
|
Digital Keystone Correction:
With a touch of a button, users can take advantage of Sanyo's
digital keystone correction feature, which automatically compensates
for angled projector placement, correcting trapezoidal images
directly on the screen. |
| • |
|
Digital Signal Processing:
Featuring pure digital processing circuits, including digital
progressive scanning, and automatic color correction, the PLC-XP18N
and PCL-XP21N reproduce vibrant images with accurate color and
precise details. |
| • |
|
Digital Progressive
Scanning: Sanyo's ASIC Progressive Scan circuit incorporates
a proprietary algorithm to double the vertical resolution of
the picture, resulting in near high definition image quality
from a standard signal. |
| • |
|
Digital Realized Interpolation
Technology (DRIT): Sanyo's revolutionary and proprietary technology,
which digitally reconstructs an image by either compressing
or expanding it to make it compatible with the native resolution
of the projector. |
In
addition, each projector is HDTV compatible. Because both units
feature component and composite video inputs, they easily connect
to a variety of video sources such as VCRs, camcorders, DVD players,
Digital cameras and many other such devices. Also, the units are
equipped with a high-performance lens, which can be used in a variety
of settings, from small meeting rooms to large conference halls.
However, optional wide-zoom or long-zoom lenses are available for
added placement flexibility.
Furthermore, the PLC-XP18N and PLC-XP21N incorporate a fan control
system, which constantly monitors the room temperature around the
projector. The fan speed is adjusted accordingly, eliminating noisy
bursts of fan activity and reducing noise level to a minimum.
Each projector is backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty
as well as a 90-day warranty on the lamp and is available through
Sanyo's national network of professional audiovisual dealers.
All products and trademarks are the property of their respective
owners. Because its products are subject to continual improvement,
Sanyo reserves the right to modify product design and specifications
without notice and without incurring any obligations.
