MITSUBISHI INTRODUCES 3D READY, ULTRA BRIGHT PROJECTOR - THE XD600U

Mitsubishi Electric's Visual Information Systems division, a leading manufacturer of innovative, high quality display solutions, will be introducing a new range of fully featured projectors. The first in this new series the XD600U was previewed earlier this year at InfoComm and features 4,500 ANSI lumens, XGA resolution and weighs just 3.6kg. Designed for both business and education users the XD600U features a lamp life of up to 5000 hours and for really effective presentations it also benefits from a number of audio-visual functions including; a 10-watt speaker and audio mix capability, closed captioning decoder, a visual public addressing (PA) feature and user-friendly menus. The XD600U is also the first projector in Mitsubishi's range designed with the latest DDP2230 and DLP Link« chipset, making it 3D-ready for three-dimensional display content. The projector supports a 3D experience when users input and display their 3D content and watch the display with optional DLP Link-compatible 3D glasses. The XD600U has also been built 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. It also has a special built-in audio mixer so the projector can simultaneously transmit audio from two sources, such as a DVD and a third-party wireless microphone. This audio mix feature allows users to adjust the volume levels of each input. With the projector in this configuration the presenter can orally interject key points during a presentation and be heard over the video. When the speaker is not in use, the projector operates in an ultra low noise level of 29 dBA. The projectors also offers 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. This new projector includes 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 software. In addition simultaneous real-time message display via the new visual PA feature allows an administrator to 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. This projector also features dual 15- pin computer inputs as well as S-video and RCA video inputs and comes with HDMI(tm) inputs for digital sources so users can switch between a computer presentation and video with just the press of a button. The XD600U benefits from an intelligent digital auto-keystone support for easy, automated picture adjustments, and the instant shut off feature allows users to power down the projectors quickly without causing damage to the unit. It also utilises Texas Instruments' DLP« technology and provides a 2000:1 contrast ratio for darker blacks and continues Mitsubishi's commitment to filter-free technology with its semi-sealed design that helps decrease dust accumulation. A 5 segment colour wheel with BrilliantColor« technology ensures crystal clear vivid images are produced. Fraser McDonald, UK Sales Manager for Display Products said, "Mitsubishi are continually looking at ways to broaden the choice for end users and systems integrators. The XD600U is one of the most versatile projectors we have introduced to date." Mitsubishi has also engineered energy-efficient 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, and are paint-free.
