Hitachi Home Electronics (America), Inc.'s Visual Technologies Group announced today immediate availability of its advanced CP-L850 LCD projector. Hitachi's next generation high-end presentation tool, the CP-L850 LCD projector is available at an estimated street price of $8,995.95. Distributors include Boxlite, Data Projections, Southern Business Communications, Stampede, and Computer Support Group.
Hitachi's new LCD projector offers significant advantages over earlier technologies, particularly in varying display environments. To make more efficient use of available light, the CP-L850 employs a newly-developed polarization converter that outputs brightness of 650 lumens, producing a brighter and clearer picture for easy viewing in well-lit rooms and conference halls. The projector also has a complex reflector light source designed to maximize the amount of light reaching the LCD panel.
Key features include a high-resolution true S-VGA (800 x 600) full color display which expands selected VGA (640 x 480) images to full screen size with no loss of brightness or clarity. The CP-L850's Multi-Scan System also makes possible direct input connection to two PCs, permitting easy transitions from different sources. It is equipped with two S- Video and two composite video inputs for NTSC, PAL or SECAM and performs automatic frequency adjustment in response to the signal received. Hitachi's CP-L850 also offers front air discharge system, one-touch adjustable screen height, lens shutter and a remote control with mouse function enabling a presenter flexibility in delivery.
