SANYO Launches New 4LCD Technology - Improving Brightness
And Color Technology

SANYO, one of the world's largest manufacturers
of LCD and DLP projectors introduces their latest optical
engine, called 4LCD, which adds a Color Control Device to
conventional 3LCD (red/green/blue) systems. The first projector
to launch this innovative new 4LCD engine is the PLC-XP200L.
The additional Color Control Device in the 4LCD optical engine
allows the PLC-XP200L to automatically control the amount
of yellow light in the image, producing higher luminosity
with improved color accuracy and clarity.
The demand for even brighter projectors continues to come
from the field as systems integrators are asked to install
video displays in extremely large venues such as convention
halls, conference rooms, auditoriums and houses of worship.
However, as brightness levels increase on 3LCD projectors,
there is a reverse effect in color reproduction. Colors become
noticeably washed out, lacking vibrancy and realism.
SANYO's innovative solution overcomes the limitations of 3LCD
technology, opening the way for new projectors capable of
extremely high luminosity without the trade off in color accuracy.
The PLC-XP200L, the first projector to benefit from this new
technology, is rated at an amazing 7000 lumens. Coupled with
the impressive high contrast ratio of 2200:1, the PLC-XP200L
is capable of generating clearer, richer and more beautiful
images than was ever possible with high brightness 3LCD projectors.
SANYO developed a new high-speed image compensating LSI for
the 4LCD engine. The combination of the 4LCD engine and the
new LSI allows for up to 20% more color space than our conventional
projectors. With the controlled yellow light, SANYO's Advanced
Color Correction technology separates each color histogram
for unparalleled color processing and correction, resulting
in beautiful and naturally rich colors.
Additionally, the PLC-XP200L is equipped with a high-output,
single lamp that is designed for exceptional light efficiency.
Aside from generating sharper and brighter displays in large
halls and meeting rooms, the 4LCD design is well suited for
digital signage and advertising in brightly lit environments.
"This is just the first of many projectors we will release
featuring our new 4LCD Engine. The increased luminosity and
contrast ratio coupled with the dramatically improved color
accuracy of this new design is going to revolutionize the
capabilities of LCD projector solutions," says Mark Holt,
Vice President and General Manager for SANYO's Presentation
Technologies Division.
Minimal maintenance and repair was essential for the XP200L,
so it was outfitted with SANYO's exclusive Active Maintenance
Filter (AMF). AMF is a single filter cartridge that contains
ten lengths of filtering material plus an airflow sensor to
detect when airflow is obstructed by dust. The AMF system
automatically advances a clean section of filter when needed.
When the last section of filter material becomes obstructed
an on-screen graphic appears telling the user to change the
cartridge. Each filter lasts approximately 10,000 hours with
a cartridge lifecycle of about 2 years (calculation based
on 14 hrs/day projector use). The filters are easy to replace
due to the side loading access on the projector. To further
increase reliability and performance, the PLC-XP200L uses
SANYO's unique Durable Inorganic Optical System (DIOS).
The SANYO PJ-NET ORGANIZER is available, allowing the PLC-XP200L
to be connected to a wired network via Ethernet. Using the
PJ-NET MASTER software all projector functions such as power
status, lamp status, input mode, signal condition, lamp-use
time, etc. can be monitored and controlled from a remote location.
For quick and easy installation the XP200L is outfitted with
a motor driven vertical and horizontal lens shift. Up/Down/Left/Right
lens shift ensures image projection at any angle of up to
360-degrees, allowing ceiling or floor image projection.
A special mechanical shutter is also placed behind the lens
and activated by the remote control, allowing the presenter
to close the lens and temporarily darken the screen.
There is an abundance of digital/analog video input terminals
including a DVI-D (digital and analog video), component video
and D-Sub15. The input signal compatibility includes UXGA,
SXGA+, SXGA, WXGA, XGA, SVGA, VGA, and MAC. It is also compatible
with HD resolutions including 1080i 50/60, 1035i, 720p as
well as standard definition (480p, 480i, 575p, 575i).
