Sanyo has officially announced its PLC-WXU700 portable LCD projector, which is the first in the world to include 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking to support full resolution (1,280 by 800 pixel) WXGA video streaming. The WXU700 runs Windows Embedded CE under the hood, and can be used as a network projector from any computer running the Windows Vista Network Projector function; the computer will automatically find the project via the network and set up a connection in one easy step.
Next week at the IFA 2008 show in Berlin, Sanyo will be demonstrating its new “entry-level” PLV-Z700 1080p projector. Although Sanyo is more known for its business projectors, the Z700 represents a foray into residential installations, letting users throw high-definition content across the room…and with lens-shifting technology and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, that content might look pretty good.
“Our entry-level Full HD projector addresses the increased interest in projection systems for home-based entertainment systems due to the rapid growth of high resolution material, from Blu-ray discs, HD game consoles, and digital camcorders,” says Sanyo presentation technologies VP and general manager Mark Holt, in a statement. “Sanyo recognizes this trend toward affordable higher quality video and the PLV-Z700 is capable of projecting large, beautiful images anywhere and now for more Americans.”
Sanyo has introduced two new T-series high-end projectors aimed at the education and business markets, the PLC-XT21/L and the lens-free PLC-ET30L. Both projectors feature Sanyo’s PJ Network Interface for wires networking, enabling users to monitor and manage projector functions from any location using a Web browser…and users can even hook up an optional camera and PJ MAster Software to control and administer a range of projectors over a network.
“These projectors are capable of delivering extremely bright images in environments that require a certain degree of ambient light, such as conference rooms and educational facilities,” said the vice president and general manager of Sanyo’s presentation technologies division, Mark Holt, in a statement.
