Orlando, Florida, June 17, 2015 –
Hitachi America Ltd., Digital Media Division, Business Solutions Group today
announced the introduction of its CP-AX2505, CP-AX3505, CP-AW2505 and CP-AW3005
LCD projectors, an ultra-short-throw design that features an improved 10,000:1
contrast ratio for more vivid and realistic image quality, improved lamp life
and an ultra-short-throw design that delivers large high-quality images in
small spaces and many additional performance and convenience features.
These flexible, cost-effective 3LCD
projectors meet the needs of a wide variety of educational, business and
commercial applications. The ultra-short-throw lens enables projection of
images up to 100 inches diagonal and the space-friendly design lets it fit
easily onto a tabletop. It can also be wall-mounted using a variety of
available mounting hardware.
The CP-AX2505 and CP-AX3505 offer
XGA1024 x 768 resolution and 2,700 and 3,600 ANSI lumens brightness
respectively. CP-AW2505 and CP-AW3005 offer WXGA 1280 x 800 resolution along
with 2,700 and 3,300 ANSI lumens brightness respectively for vivid images in
the widest variety of viewing environments. All have an improved lamp life with
up to 10,000 hours (Eco-2 mode) for the 2,700 lumens models and up to 6,000
hours (Eco-2 mode) for the over 3,300 lumens models. Additionally, all have an
improved 10,000:1 contrast ratio, twice the contrast of the previously
available model. These new models include a host of exclusive Hitachi image
technologies for exceptional picture quality. Its High Dynamic Contrast Range
(HDCR) setting yields clear images even in bright rooms, and the projector’s
Accentualizer feature makes images look more realistic by enhancing sharpness,
shadow detail and other picture qualities. Perfect Fit 2 enables the user to
adjust the individual corners and sides of the images independent of one
another and provides vertical and horizontal digital correction of both barrel
and pin cushion distortions.
These models can display content from
either a wired or wireless connection (using an optional available wireless
adapter) using a computer, USB stick or A/V source. The PC-Less Presentation
feature enables content to be displayed directly from a USB stick or other
storage device without the need to connect a computer. In addition, Hitachi’s
Projector Quick Connection app offers full projector control to display photos,
document files and websites from iPad®, iPhone® and
Android™ mobile devices.
The projectors provide numerous audio
and video connections including two HDMI inputs, a computer video in and
computer video in/monitor out port, USB Type A and USB Type B ports, a
composite video input and audio inputs and outputs. The projectors can be
connected to a local area network (LAN) via its RJ-45 port, which enables it to
be remotely controlled via LAN, and also includes a microphone input and an
RS-232C control port.
These Ultra Short Throw projectors
also offer a host of additional useful features such as a Template function
that makes writing on a whiteboard much easier, built-in speakers with a
16-watt audio output, an Input Source Naming function for easy identification
of sources that are connected to the projector and more. Its optional available
tabletop stand allows the projector to project images directly onto a tabletop,
making it ideal for small-group presentations or in rooms with limited space.
Designed to maximize energy and
cost-savings, the ImageCare technology and Intelligent Eco and Saver modes
automatically control the brightness and energy usage of the lamp according to
the brightness level of the screen and other factors, and provide approximately
10,000 hours lamp life for the 2,700 lumen models in Eco-2 mode and 6,000 hours
of lamp life for the other two models in Eco mode.
The new models are compatible with the
Crestron® Integrated Partner program and the AMX® Device
Discovery protocol, to facilitate use in A/V systems using Crestron or AMX control.
