Mitsubishi’s Presentation Products Division
delivers the
X80 LCD projector for
conference rooms and portable
environments. It offers 1,500 ANSI lumens,
300:1 contrast ratio, and native XGA
resolution. It weighs 7 lbs (3.2 kg). The X80
also introduces sRGB Color Mode, which is a
system of color spaces that determines tone,
saturation, and brightness; and sRGB claims
to display the same natural color tones of
CRT displays. It accepts these composite and
S-video formats: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and
SECAM, as well as PC and workstation
computers. List price is $7,495 (USD).
Recommended Extron product:
For conference room installations and
portable applications, the
System 5cr Plus
adds additional inputs to the X80 projector
and provides room control. The System 5cr
Plus is a five input, one output, A/V
integration switcher with an internal audio
amplifier. It provides a total of five inputs—
two for composite or S-video, two for
RGBHV, and one that is configurable for
composite, S-video, or RGBHV. The System
5cr Plus can control power on/off, mute, and
input selection for the X80. This is an
inexpensive solution for projector and room
control of smaller-scale A/V installations.
