Dec 10th, 12 / 0 Comments

Hitachi CP-AW252WNHitachi America has announced that it is now offering its CP-AW252WN ultra short-throw 3LCD projector, which combines a plethora of versatile features, including a new Projector Quick Connection iOS App and a Projector Cloning function in a compact, cost-effective design.

This device, which is networkable and ultraportable, is capable of projecting a 100″ image from 15.4 inches away from the screen, making it perfect for use in educational and commercial applications where space is limited but bright, clear image quality is a necessity.

The new Projector Quick Connection iOS App enables users to monitor and control multiple Hitachi projectors from a single Apple iOS device and also provides access to the projector’s Projector, Contents, Control and Settings menu. In addition to that, this device includes a new Projector Cloning function.

The Projector Cloning Feature is a convenience feature that allows users to copy the settings data from one projector and transfer it to other projectors via USB memory. This function can also copy and transfer almost any projector settings, including gamma and keystone.

The lens design of this projector enables it to be mounted close to a projection screen or whiteboard, preventing obstructed images and shadows and avoiding light shining in the presenter’s eyes. Moreover, the projector can also be  used with an optional tabletop stand that enables images to be projected directly onto a tabletop, perfect for small group presentations or situations where space is limited.

Wired and wireless network connectivity is also included via the projector’s RJ-45 Ethernet jack or optional USB wireless adapter. Once connected, content can be sent directly from a computer to the projector through the network while control monitoring and maintenance can be facilitated via LAN.

This projector also offers a WXGA 1,280 x 800 resolution with 2,500 ANSI lumens white/color output and a 4,000:1 contrast ratio. It includes a wide selection of inputs and outputs, including HDMI, S-Video and Composite video inputs, USB and RGB computer connections, RCA, stereo mini-jack and microphone audio inputs, and audio and video monitor outputs.

For business meetings or classrooms that are short on space, a short-throw projector is a necessity. Hitachi recognizes that and has put a lot of beneficial features into the CP-AW252WN that are perfectly suited for business and educational uses.

Ultra Short-Throw Projectors Perfect for Small Meeting Rooms

May 10th, 11 / 0 Comments

projector meetingsNot every company has a big, luxurious meeting room with lots of space for lots of people. A lot of companies only have medium-sized or even small meeting rooms that require that a projector be placed only a few feet away from the screen. Casting a large image in a big meeting room is no difficult task. Presenters are able to put the projector as far away from the screen as needed in order to get the best looking picture possible.

However, for companies that are not this fortunate, there is a new generation of short-throw projectors that have adopted the title of ultra short throw, or extremely short throw. These are, obviously, more extreme versions of your standard short throw projectors and can display images as large as 80 inches from a distance of only two feet. This makes them ideal for small meeting rooms.

Another benefit to these projectors is that, due to their closeness to the screen, the presenter can move about a little more without the threat of stepping in front of the projector and casting a shadow on the screen. This eliminates unnecessary distractions and allows people to focus on what you really want them to.

According to Elizabeth Dourley, a researcher and writer for Projector Central, “This past year it’s been all about who puts the ‘short’ in short-throw projectors. Short throws are extremely popular for applications where space is tight, but they also prevent light from hitting a presenter in the face or shadows from obstructing the image.”

Your average extreme short-throw projector requires about one foot of space to produce an adequate image. Compare that to the nearly 8-feet traditional projectors require, and there is quite a difference. Extreme short-throw projectors are making waves in small to medium-sized meeting rooms across the country and are definitely worth it.
