SANYO Introduces New Ultra-Portable LCD Projector

SANYO, one of the world's largest manufacturers
of projectors, introduces the PLC-XW57, an ultra-portable
3LCD projector for the education and business presentations
market.

Offering a highly flexible presentation solution, the PLC-XW57
is completely portable, weighing a mere 6.4 lbs., and takes
up a minimal amount of space with a small footprint of 13"
W x 3.15" H x 9.3" D.
Rated at 2000 lumens, the PLC-XW57 is outfitted with a 200-watt
UHP lamp for outstanding brightness and well-balanced color
reproduction. A 3D Automatic Uniformity Correction Control
(AUCC) circuit ensures uniformity, balancing uneven color
and brightness gradations for a more natural image.
Installation and operation is quick and fast due to the 1/4x
to 16x digital zoom, which makes it possible to project an
image as large as 100" (diagonally) from a range of 11
to 14 feet. To compensate for keystone (trapezoidal) picture
distortion, the PLC-XW57 provides a vertical keystone correction
with a range of +/- 20-degrees. The blackboard (green color)
mode allows the use of a classroom blackboard to be used as
a projection screen. In this mode, the projector automatically
adjusts the colors to make images look strikingly similar
to those projected on a traditional white screen.
SANYO's Countdown or Immediate projection modes can be set
at start-up. The Countdown Mode waits for the lamp to reach
sufficient brightness before it begins projecting an image.
The Immediate Mode starts projecting as soon as the power
is turned on, even when the optimal level of brightness has
not been reached yet. Plus, when your presentation is complete,
there is no need to wait for the projection lamp to cool down
like conventional projectors. Just disconnect the power cord
after your presentation, and go.
Additionally, the PIN code lock function on the PLC-XW57 prevents
anyone other than the authorized owner or projection operator
from using the projector. The key lock function is set in
the operation menu and locks operation from the controls on
top of the projector and the supplied remote control.
This projector offers a full suite of inputs and is compatible
with UXGA / WXGA / SXGA+ / XGA / SVGA / VGA / MAC analog computer
inputs. Two D-Sub terminals for computer input are provided
and one of them can be changed to a monitor output terminal.
Digital Realized Interpolation Technology (DRIT) is used to
support input signals with resolutions from UXGA to VGA by
compressing/decompressing signals. The projector is compatible
with all incoming SD and HDTV (except 1080p) signals including
480i, 480p, 575i, 575p, 720p, 1035i, and 1080i.
Fan noise has been minimized in the PLC-XW57 with SANYO's
Intelligent Fan Operation Linear Control System that reduces
fan noise according to changes of the unit's internal temperature.
"The compact and highly portable PLC-XW57 is a terrific
tool for teachers and business executives," says Mark
Holt, the Vice President and General Manager for SANYO's Presentation
Technologies Division. "This projector is flexible and
simple to operate, projecting crisp and detailed images in
the boardroom or the classroom."
