Panasonic PT-CW230 ultra short-throw, 3D
Ready projector for classrooms
Panasonic’s innovative ultra short-throw projector gives you
an 80-inch diagonal image from a short distance of 32cm.
The distance between the projector and the screen (or
whiteboard) surface can be as short as 2.4cm.
The projector can be placed next to the screen, which allows
you to stand in front of the image without your shadow being
cast on the image.
There are flexible projection settings for versatile applications,
including tabletop installation for wall projection, floor
projection, ceiling projection and wall-mounted installation for
wall projection.
The PT-CW230, with 2,500 ANSI lumens brightness has
widescreen resolution (1280x800 pixels, WXGA, 16:10 aspect
ratio), and a 10 watt speaker built-in. The filter and lamp are
easily replaced from the top of the projector even when it is
installed on the ceiling.
Panasonic UB-T580 / UB-T580W
Panasonic’s Elite Panaboard interactive whiteboard helps
you grab your students’ attention. It makes it easy to create
effective, eye-catching teaching materials and promotes
active, visual-based teaching and learning that make the
classroom fun for both teacher and students.
By connecting a PC with Internet access and a projector, you
can incorporate live web content into your lesson, and even
manipulate and save PC files on the board.
Panasonic’s IR (infrared) whiteboard lets you interact on the
board with stylus or your finger. Easiteach education software
is included and this allows you to create an interactive lesson
for your students. The whiteboard is USB powered so the
only connection you need is a USB cable into your laptop or
PC, no other power is required. This makes it very
eco-friendly as a product. The UB-T580 is 4:3 format,
77-inch across and the UB-T580W is widescreen 16:9,
86-inches across. You can use any projection with the board
but the ultra short-throw projector sits nice and close to the
board and this means that there is no light shining in your
eyes, neither is there any shadow.
A key feature of Easiteach software is that when you write
on the board using the stylus it automatically changes it into
typed text and you can then move it around the board and
do anything you want with it, such as changing size or colour.
The software includes a gallery of about 5,000 images and
it supports all gesturing (zoom, pinch, etc) in a Windows® 7
environment.
The stylus pen is included although there is an optional
multi-functional electronic pen which integrates a choice of
four different colours, an eraser, and a remote control for
operating PowerPoint® slides, all in one tool.
The PT-CW230 has long replacement cycle of up to 3,000
hours for the lamp and up to 4,000 hours for the air filter.
This model has some useful features including Direct Power
Off, which allows the room’s main power to be turned off
immediately after use. Presentation support/control tools
include Presentation Timer, Freeze Function and digital zoom.
