For fixed installation environments as well as
rental and staging gigs, the
System 7SC
switcher complements both of these
projectors. The System 7SC is a seven input,
dual output switcher with scaling
capabilities and advanced film mode
processing with 3:2 pulldown detection for
NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL. Six of
the seven inputs of the System 7SC accept
composite video, S-video, component
(including HDTV), or RGBHV, and the
seventh input accepts composite video,
S-video, or RGBHV. The scaled output of the
System 7SC can be configured to match the
LP900 series’ XGA resolution. The System
7SC also offers projector and room control.

Sanyo announced the addition of the
PLC-XP30 to its family of multimedia LCD
projectors. This projector offers 3,000 ANSI
lumens, 1024 x 768 resolution, 700:1 contrast
ratio, and the DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
input. Other signal inputs include composite
video, S-video, component, and RGB. In
addition, using the power lens shift feature,
the units can be twin stacked. List price is
$12,995 (USD).
Recommended Extron products:
When using the DVI input of the PLC-XP30,
the
DDTX/DDRX DVI driver will lengthen the
distance run, and the
D/2 DA4 DVI
distribution amplifier will multiply the output
of the PC’s DVI graphics card. Since the DVI
signal is recommended for runs up to 15 feet
(4.6 m), the DDTX/DDRX DVI driver allows the
signal of the DVI card to be driven up to 330
feet (100.5 m) using Extron’s SHR cable. If
multiple projectors are needed, the D/2 DA4
DVI distribution amplifier splits the signal of
the DVI graphics card to four outputs.

ViewSonic unveiled its LiteBird series of
projectors. Included in this series is the light and
portable
LiteBird PJ1075 weighing only five
pounds and offering 1200 lumens. This DLP
projector has XGA resolution with compressed
SXGA. Picture-in-Picture capability allows
video and computer data to be viewed
simultaneously. The inputs of the PJ1075
include composite, S-video, and RGB. The USD
list price is $4,995.
Recommended Extron products:
For portable applications using the LiteBird
series, the
P/2 DA1, also known as “The
Peaker,” is the ideal product to ensure a high
quality presentation. The P/2 DA1 peaks or
drives the video output of the laptop or PC. It
also restores the low level sync found on many
laptops and compensates for long cable runs
and poor quality cable. The P/2 DA1 is available
in 110VAC, 110-240VAC, or USB version. The
USB version obtains its power from the USB
port on the laptop or PC. “The Peaker” or P/2
DA1 gives added confidence to the presenter
on the go.
