Proxima
Proxima ProjectionLink network system for Projectors. We like the
features and flexibility this product offers for those customers
wanting a simple hang-and-bang system.
DVI
DVI on Projectors (Silicon Image invented it) Although Silicon Image
created the DVI (formerly PanelLink) standard, virtually every projector
manufacturer adopted the standard in less than 12 months. That's
a feat in itself. Everyone agrees that DVI is going to be big.
Sony
Sony for their VPL-VW10HT LCD video projector. Sony displayed the
foresight to develop a true 16x9 display device and raised the bar
on video quality from an LCD projector. If Sony upgrades this unit
to something above 2000 ANSI lumens and adds Pro A/V connectors,
they are going to do some serious damage in the Pro A/V market.
Sharp Electronics Sharp
Electronics for their new projector control software, SAPs Group
Control and Networking Software. With this software, Sharp is
the first manufacturer to fully realize that control is the name
of the game. With the ability to control up to 250 projectors
and have those projectors send e-mail messages directly to an
A/V tech's e-mail address if a failure occurs, Sharp has demonstrated
an understanding that it's not just a brightness game anymore.
Plus
Plus U3-1180 2.9 lb. DLP box. The first to introduce a sub-3 lb.
projector and appear to be on the way to dominating that market
because they are making the projector for a number of other companies.
