Präsentations-Profis: BenQ MU686 und MU706 - lichtstark und flüsterleise im Meeting-Raum

Der Marktführer bei DLP® Projektoren, präsentiert mit den Modellen BenQ MU686 und MU706 gleich zwei neue, leistungsstarke Projektoren für den Business- und Education-Bereich. Der BenQ MU686 verfügt über eine Lichtstärke von 3500 ANSI Lumen und der MU706 über 4000 ANSI Lumen. Beide Geräte bringen eine WUXGA-Auflösung von 1.920 x 1.200 Pixeln sowie ein enorm hohes Kontrastverhältnis von 20.000:1 mit und eignen sich sehr gut für Präsentationen in kleinen bis mittelgroßen Meetingräumen selbst bei Tageslichteinfall. Ab sofort sind die Projektoren MU686 zum Preis von 1.099 Euro inkl. MwSt. sowie MU706 zum Preis von 1.199 Euro inkl. MwSt. im Handel erhältlich. Beide Modelle arbeiten trotz ihrer enormen Lichtstärke von 3500 ANSI Lumen bzw. 4000 ANSI Lumen sehr leise und sind mit geringen 28dB im Eco Modus beinahe nicht zu hören. Umfangreiche Anschlussmöglichkeiten, wie ein USB- und zwei HDMI®-Ports, über die auch 3D-Inhalte in brillanter Full HD-Qualität dargestellt werden können, sowie ein MHL-Anschluss, sorgen für ein großes Maß an Flexibilität. Mit dem optional erhältlichen BenQ QCast-Dongle lassen sich Daten sogar drahtlos zuspielen. Die BenQ MU686 und MU706 Projektoren sind mit der neuen Hidden Dongle Solution ausgestattet. Dabei wird der BenQ QCast Dongle innerhalb des Gehäuses mittels einer abnehmbaren Abdeckung in den HDMI®-Port des Projektors gesteckt. Dieses Hidden Dongle System bietet zwei Vorteile: Optisch, da der Dongle nicht mehr hinten vom Gerät absteht, außerdem ist er vor leichtem Fremdzugriff geschützt. Die neuen Business-Projektoren lassen sich sowohl an der Wand als auch an der Decke montieren oder können einfach auf dem Tisch platziert werden. Dank 1,3-fachem Zoom und der automatischen Keystone-Korrektur sind die Projektoren im Handumdrehen einsatzbereit und projizieren selbst aus einem kurzen Abstand zur Projektionsfläche ein großes Bild. Die integrierten 2-Watt-Lautsprecher unterstützen die Präsentation mit Sound.

Energiesparend, umweltfreundlich, kosteneffizient
Sowohl der MU686 als auch der MU706 arbeiten mit einer Reihe von energiesparenden Features, die den Stromverbrauch senken und die Lebensdauer der Lampe maßgeblich verlängern. So wird beispielsweise die Leuchtkraft im SmartEco™-Modus automatisch an die Bildinhalte angepasst und erzeugt nur so viel Licht, wie wirklich nötig ist. Zudem sorgt die Eco Blank Funktion dafür, dass die Leuchtkraft der Lampe auf bis zu 30 Prozent gedrosselt wird, sofern keine angeschlossene Bildquelle erkannt wird. Im Stand-by-Modus verbrauchen die Business-Profis weniger als 0,5 Watt Strom und erfüllen damit die neusten EU-Normen.

Zur Auszeichnung von BenQ kommentiert die EISA Kommission: \Der BenQ W2000 beweist, dass Bilder wie im Kino zu einem erschwinglichen Preis erreicht werden können. Der Full HD DLP-Projektor bietet gestochen scharfe Bilder, die förmlich vor Detailreichtum strotzen. Der Beamer kann ein Bild mit einer 100 Zoll Diagonale bei einer Entfernung von nur 2,5 Metern zur Leinwand projizieren. Dank der hohen Leuchtdichte und der flächenfüllenden Kontrastleistung ist der W2000 sowohl für den Einsatz in einem abgedunkelten Raum als auch in Umgebungen mit leichtem Tageslichteinfall geeignet. Die Rec.709 Voreinstellung und die Unterstützung professioneller Kalibrierung garantieren naturgetreue, lebendige Farben und natürliche Hauttöne. Diese Eigenschaften sind in der Regel Projektoren vorbehalten, die doppelt so viel kosten. Damit ist der W2000 für alle Arten von 2D (und 3D) Entertainment gerüstet. Wünscht der Nutzer noch mehr Flexibilität bei der Installation, dann gibt es für den W2000 ein optionales Wireless Full HD-Kit für eine kabellose Verbindung. Eine großartige, großformatige Lösung.\

Optoma, a world leading manufacturer of video and audio products, at InfoComm today unveiled two new innovative single-chip DLP laser phosphor projectors for the ProAV and home markets.

With a large commitment to the ProAV channel Optoma Technology president Robert Sterzing took the helm last year, Optoma is focused on providing innovative solutions with maximum flexibility for the ProAV market.

The world's first DLP 4K laser phosphor 0.18:1 ultra short throw (UST) projector displays a 100-inch image on a wall or screen from just two inches away. With 3,300 lumens, this ultra innovative Optoma projector combines many of today's industry advancements into one dynamic package. 4K resolution displays more than 8 million pixels on screen, delivering the ultimate in image quality.

"As a brand, we're relatively new to the ProAV channel, but it became a top priority in 2015 and today we're a top five seller in the channel. By focusing on quality and reliability – along with innovation and flexibility – we're listening to the market and manufacturing projectors that meet the needs of ProAV customers."

Acer Announces F7 Series Large Venue Projectors with Interchangeable Lenses

Editors' Summary • •Five lens options of throw ratios give professional installers the flexibility needed for projector deployment in various environments •High brightness of up to 6,000 lumens for larger venues with long projection distances and high ambient light •Can be rotated 360-degrees to give installers flexible and creative options for image projection •Horizontal and vertical lens shift allows shifting of the image in its original format and size without distortion •Available in three display resolutions: WUXGA (F7600), 1080p (F7500), and XGA (F7200) NEW YORK - Acer, the world's third largest projector brand1, today announced its F7 series large venue projectors, the F7200, F7500, and F7600, designed for professional installations. With five interchangeable lenses for a variety of throw ratios, high brightness rated up to 6,000 lumens, and 360-degree installation flexibility, the new professional F7 series further expands Acer's comprehensive line of high-quality projectors for business, education and consumer applications.

"Acer is stepping up its game in the large venue professional projector market with the new F7 Series," said Victor Chien, president, Digital Display Business, Acer Inc. "With interchangeable lenses of different throw ratios, high brightness, and 360-degree installation versatility, professional A/V installers will find the new projectors a highly practical addition to their display equipment arsenal."

The Right Tool for the Job
The F7 series features five lens options of throw ratios, giving professional installers the flexibility needed for projector deployment in various environments:
1. Short throw: 0.8-5.0 meters (2.7-16.4 feet)
2. Semi-short throw: 1.0-9.0 meters (3.3-29.6 feet)
3. Standard throw: 1.5-7.0 meters (4.9-22.9 feet)
4. Long throw: 2.0-20.0 meters (6.6-65.5 feet)
5. Super-long throw: 3.0-20.0 meters (9.9-65.6 feet)

This gives professional installers the flexibility to choose a lens that is best-suited for their application with the same projector. The super-long throw lens stands out as an especially attractive option for larger venues which require long projection distances such as convention halls, auditoriums, gymnasiums, conference rooms, houses of worship and more.

Superior Brightness
Professional installers face deployment challenges in larger venues with long projection distances and high ambient light. Acer's F7 series was developed to overcome these hurdles and features high brightness of up to 6,000 lumens. This translates into vibrant colors, crisp detail and realistic skin tones, even in venues with large amounts of natural light.

360-degree Installation Flexibility
The Acer F7 series projectors can be rotated 360-degrees to give installers flexible and creative options for image projection. This is useful in unique deployments with a fixed mounting point such as an interactive floor or side-wall art installations. The lens of the F7 series is positioned at the center of the chassis for intuitive positioning, while horizontal and vertical lens shift allows shifting of the image in its original format and size without distortion.

Flexible Resolution and Connectivity Options
The F7 series projectors are available in three display resolutions to fit required applications: WUXGA (F7600), 1080p (F7500), and XGA (F7200). They support industry-standard input options such as RGBHV (5-BNC), DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D.

Pricing and Availability
The F7 series projectors will be available in EMEA in June with prices starting at €2,999; and in China in June with prices starting at ¥79,999.

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. To find out about availability, product specifications and prices in specific markets, please contact your nearest Acer office or retailer via www.acer.com.

The Acer F7 series projectors were unveiled today at the next@acer press event at 4 World Trade Center in New York, where the company announced a range of new devices and solutions for families, students and professionals. For more information, visit acer.com/nextatacer

BenQ W2000W – Heimkino-Filmgenuss ohne störende Kabel

BenQ, der Marktführer von DLP® Projektoren, stellt mit dem W2000W eine neue Variante seines leistungsstarken Full-HD-Projektors W2000 vor, die den Premium-Heimkino-Filmgenuss jetzt auch kabellos ermöglicht. Der W2000W enthält das neue WFHD-Kit WDP02 zur drahtlosen Übertragung von hochauflösenden Video- und Audiosignalen. Das Wireless-Kit WDP02 besteht aus einem Transmitter mit erweiterten Anschlüssen und einem Empfänger, der seinen Platz jetzt im inneren des Projektors findet. So benötigt der W2000W außer der Stromversorgung keine weitere Kabelverbindung. Der BenQ W2000W für Film- und Spielegenuss mit bis zu 300 Zoll/762 cm Projektionsfläche ist ab Ende Mai im Handel zum Preis von 1.799 Euro inkl. MwSt. erhältlich. Das WFHD-Kit WDP02 ist auch einzeln als Erweiterung zu anderen Projektoren ebenfalls ab Ende Mai verfügbar und kostet 539 Euro (UVP inkl. MwSt.).



Kabellos von Raum zu Raum

Der BenQ W2000W wird mit dem Wireless Full HD-Kit WDP02 ausgeliefert und bietet so eine innovative Datenübertragungsmöglichkeit ohne störende Verbindungskabel. Dieses Kit besteht aus einem Transmitter mit vier HDMI®-Eingängen und einem HDMI®-Ausgang sowie einem Receiver, der per USB mit dem Projektor verbunden wird und so gleichzeitig die Stromversorgung des Receivers sicherstellt. Der Clou ist, dass der Receiver jetzt in den Projektor integriert werden kann und somit nicht mehr außen an das Gerät befestigt werden muss. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt für eine optimale Wohnraumintegration. Mit einer Reichweite von bis zu 30 Metern – selbst von Raum zu Raum – und einer Latenzzeit von weniger als 1 ms bietet WFHD sowohl für Filmeliebhaber als auch für Online-Gaming-Fans hervorragende Voraussetzungen. Ein zusätzliches Feature ist die DFS-Funktion (Dynamic Frequence Selection), mit der ein WLANautomatische Kanalwechsel durchführen kann, falls der genutzte Kanal bereits verwendet wird oder gestört ist. Die Sendeeinheit bietet vier HDMI-Eingänge für Blu-ray-Player, Spielekonsolen oder PCs und kann auch 3D-Signale bis zum Format 1080p/60 Hz im 5-GHz-Frequenzband an den Empfänger übertragen.



Hohe vom W2000 bekannte Performance

Der BenQ W2000W liefert lebendige Farben, hohe Kontraste, feine Details und optimale Helligkeit, so dass auch dunkle Filmszenen optimal dargestellt werden. Er ermöglicht naturgetreue Darstellungsqualität mit einem Kontrastverhältnis von 15000:1 und 2000 ANSI Lumen. Schon aus nur 2,50 Meter Abstand kann der BenQ W2000W eine bis zu 98 Zoll große Bilddiagonale darstellen. Mit dem Big-Zoom-Feature lässt sich die Bildgröße komfortabel an jede Raumgröße anpassen. Der vertikale Lens-Shift verschiebt die Bildposition, ohne den Projektor selbst zu bewegen.



Farbdarstellung made in Hollywood

Hollywood-Feeling entsteht vor allem durch die BenQ-eigene CinemaMaster-Technologie. Darunter fallen verschiedene innovative Features für ein Maximum an Bild- und Tonqualität.Im hochauflösenden Format Full HD/1080p realisiert der W2000W eine dauerhaft farbverbindliche Wiedergabe dank der Unterstützung des HDTV-Farbstandards Rec.709., der seit den neunziger Jahren von der Produktion bis zur Wiedergabe im Kino eine durchgängig konsistente Farbtreue und –qualität ermöglicht. BenQ Projektoren nutzen ein weiterentwickeltes 6-Segment-Farbrad (RGBRGB) mit präzise winkelabgestimmten Farbsegmenten und einer neuartigen Beschichtung, damit Filme auch zu Hause exakt so auf die Leinwand kommen, wie die Regisseure sich das bei der Produktion vorgestellt haben.

ony stattet seinen Heimkinoprojektor VPL-VW320ES mit 4K-HDR-Funktionalität aus

Das neue Upgrade ermöglicht Nutzern bequem vom Wohnzimmer aus Bilder in echter Kinoqualität zu erlebenBerlin, 26. April 2016 - Im Zuge der Einführung seiner ersten 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray-Filme erweitert Sony jetzt auch den Heimkinoprojektor VPL-VW320ES um die 4K-HDR-Funktionalität. Das Unternehmen stellt seinen Kunden damit ein Firmware-Update zur Verfügung, mit dem Projektoren die bestmögliche Bildqualität liefern können. Mit dem Upgrade hat Sony seine Ziele klar gesteckt: HDR-Unterstützung und ultimative Bildqualität für das Heimkino-Portfolio. So ist der neue VPL-VW320ES - nach dem VPL-VW5000ES und dem VPL-VW520ES - der dritte Sony Heimkinoprojektor im Sortiment, der das 4K-HDR-Format unterstützt.

Dank der HDR-Inhalte mit hohem Kontrastverhältnis können Kinofans jetzt vom Wohnzimmer aus ganz in die Filmwelt eintauchen und Bilder in echter Kinoqualität erleben. HDR-Bilder kommen der vom Auge wahrgenommenen Realität am nächsten, bieten mehr Details, größere Farbtiefe sowie strahlendere Weiß- und dunklere Schwarztöne. 4K HDR bietet eine vier Mal höhere Detailtreue im Vergleich zu Standard-HD und erzeugt Bilder von solch hoher Qualität und Stabilität, dass der Nutzer den Eindruck hat, als würde sich die Szene real vor dem bloßen Auge abspielen - eine Technik, die auf den ersten Blick überzeugt.

„Wir möchten unseren Kunden die bestmögliche Bildqualität bei unseren digitalen Heimkinolösungen bieten, aus diesem Grund bieten wir jetzt das neue Firmware-Update an. Im Bereich Broadcast und Film hat sich 4K mittlerweile rasant zum neuen Standard entwickelt. Wir möchten diese detaillierten, kristallklaren Bilder auch in die Wohnzimmer unserer Kunden bringen", sagt Thomas Issa, Product Manager bei Sony Professional Solutions Europe. „Entsprechend unserer anderen 4K-HDR-Lösungen, wie etwa der BRAVIA Bildschirm oder der demnächst erscheinende 4K ULTRA HD Blu-ray-Film von Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, können wir diese zukunftssichere Technologie auch für den VPL-VW320ES anbieten."

Für die Projektorserie hat Sony zudem ein neues einheitliches Steuerprotokoll entwickelt. Damit gelingt die Integration unterschiedlicher Modelle in derselben Installation noch einfacher und intuitiver.

Premiere der neuen Canon 4K-Laserprojektor-Technologie auf der ITEC

Canon setzt auf der ITEC neue Standards bei der 4K-Projektion in Simulationsumgebungen. Auf der vom 17. bis 19. Mai in London stattfindenden Simulations-Messe präsentiert Canon (Stand E0120) einen neuen 4K-Projektor-Prototypen, der eine Laser-Phosphor-Lichtquelle verwendet und die High-End-Anforderungen der Simulationsbranche erfüllt.

Zusätzlich werden zwei Canon XEED 4K500ST Installationsprojektoren unter Verwendung der Edge-Blending-Technologie miteinander kombiniert. So wird der lebendige und realistische Simulationseindruck der Canon 4K-Projektoren demonstriert, der von einer Vielzahl verschiedener Schulungsanwendungen genutzt werden kann – so zum Beispiel für die ultra-realistische Flugsimulation.

Die Verwendung von Simulationen in Schulungsumgebungen erfordert eine originalgetreue Bildwiedergabe realer Situationen. Mit seiner herausragenden Auflösung und einzigartigen Bildqualität erfüllt der Canon XEED 4K500ST diese Anforderungen besonders effektiv. Der Projektor lässt sich außerdem einfach in verschiedene Simulationsanwendungen integrieren – handelt es sich doch um den kleinsten und leichtesten 4K-Installationsprojektor der Welt.

Auf der Messe wird die Simulation eines Rundflugs über San Francisco auf eine gekrümmte Leinwand projiziert. Dabei wird mithilfe der Canon Marginal Focus Technologie ein großformatiges Bild mit exzellenter Randschärfe produziert. Dank der LCOS Technologie bieten die Canon XEED 4K500ST Projektoren klare Farbabstufungen und einen hohen Kontrast. In Verbindung mit den geringen Verzögerungszeiten des Modells entsteht ein unglaublich lebendiges audiovisuelles Erlebnis.

„Mit unserer Tradition in der Objektivtechnologie sind wir in einer guten Position, um die besonderen Anforderungen der Simulationsbranche zu erfüllen", erklärt Dieter Röther, Produktspezialist für Projektoren bei Canon Deutschland. „Canon investiert fortlaufend in die Forschung und Entwicklung, um die Anforderungen seiner Kunden direkt zu adressieren. Wir freuen uns darauf, mit den Kunden darüber zu sprechen, wie sie von unserer Technologie profitieren können. Der 4K-Laserprojektor-Prototyp ergänzt High-End-Simulationsumgebungen um eine neue Dimension. In Verbindung mit unserem Flaggschiff-Modell, dem XEED 4K500ST, macht diese neue Entwicklung Canon zum besten Partner für Schulungsanbieter, die überragende Simulationsumgebungen benötigen."
