Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America Adds Portable WXGA and Full HD Models to Its Projector Line-Up
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/09/10 --
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's
Presentation Products Division, known for award-winning, high-quality,
high-definition presentation and display products, expands its
high-brightness projector line-up with two new portable HD projectors that
weigh approximately eight pounds each and blast 4,000 lumens. Joining the
family is the WD620U, a new wide-format WXGA / 720p resolution projector
and the FD630U 1080p full high-definition resolution projector.
These two HD projectors offer amazing image quality, easy mobility and a
low cost of ownership, including a filter-free design and a remarkably
long-life lamp estimated to last up to 5000 hours*.
"Those who have seen our XD600U all-glass lens projector seem to love it
and are very impressed with its performance," said Wayne Kozuki, product
manager, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. "Now we're offering even
more choices for higher resolution in this family of premium portable
projectors."
The WD620U and FD630U are designed for both education users as well as
business professionals, complementing higher resolution laptop or desktop
computers. Each projector offers a 10-watt speaker and audio mix
capability, closed captioning decoder, a visual public addressing (PA)
feature, user-friendly menus, and an all-glass lens for sharper, crisper
displays. This combination of audio-visual features can help make
presenting and teaching more effective thanks to technology that is easy to
set up and use.
These new projectors include a built-in RJ-45 port for remote operation and
management over a LAN, WAN or the Internet. The status of multiple
projectors, remote operation of the on/off power switch, image input switch
and other functions can be monitored with Mitsubishi's ProjectorView
Global+ technology.
Thanks to the projectors' simultaneous real-time message display and the
new visual PA feature, an administrator can remotely create and distribute
messages in real time to projectors connected to the LAN. This is ideal for
broadcasting important information to multiple rooms across campus and can
be useful as part of an emergency management system.
A top-loading lamp design allows users to replace lamps simply and easily,
whether the projector is mounted in the ceiling or sitting on a desktop.
The new projectors include dual 15-pin computer inputs as well as S-video
and RCA video inputs. They also come with a HDMI? input for digital
sources so users can switch between a computer presentation and video with
just the press of a button.
Mitsubishi's new HD projectors are designed with two separate 3.5mm audio
inputs and two RCA audio inputs as well as a 3.5mm variable audio output
used to control volume levels. They also have a special built-in audio
mixer so the projectors can simultaneously project audio from two sources,
such as a DVD and a wireless microphone. With this "Audio Mix" feature,
users can adjust the volume levels of each input for its built-in speaker.
With the projectors in this configuration, an instructor or presenter can
orally interject key points during a presentation and be heard over the
video.
When the speaker is not in use, the projectors have an ultra-hushed noise
level of only 29 dBA in low mode; students hear an instructor and not the
annoying hum of a fan. They also offer closed captioning from a supported
source. With the touch of a button, the built-in decoder transforms words
into subtitles projected on the screen, an important function for
hearing-impaired students.
To lessen the impact on the environment, Mitsubishi has engineered
energy-efficient, earth-friendly features into all of its new projector
models. Its projectors are built with lead-free solder, consume less than
one watt of power when in low standby mode, are paint-free and packed in
cartons made from recycled materials.
The WD620U and FD630U HD projectors, which use Texas Instruments' DLP®
technology, boast a native 2000:1 contrast ratio for darker blacks and
continue Mitsubishi's commitment to filter-free technology with its
semi-sealed design that helps decrease dust accumulation. The projectors
also feature a five-segment color wheel with BrilliantColor® technology
to create clear, vivid images from a computer or video signal.
Mitsubishi's new projectors have important security features with password
menu and display locks, plus an anti-theft hook design to lock the
projector in place and help deter theft. They have an RS232 connection for
compatibility with third-party control devices and support for a computer
loop-out for external monitor display.
These new models include keystone support for easy, automated picture
adjustments, and their instant shut off feature allows users to power down
the projectors quickly without damage. This enables a quick exit after
class or a meeting for more efficient scheduling of classrooms and
conference rooms.
"Mitsubishi continues to broaden the choice for our end users and systems
integrators," said James Chan, senior director, product marketing,
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division.
"We're confident that with the addition of these HD projectors to our 600
family series, Mitsubishi will continue to give users state-of-the-art
products for more advanced applications."
