-- 3D Ready Projector series uses DLP Link™ Technology for captivating presentations -- Well-suited for classrooms, corporate meeting rooms, scientific and medical imaging, houses of worship, rental/staging, trade shows and other public events -- Easy to use with extensive connectivity and anti-theft design Sharp today announces its entry into the 3D presentation market with the introduction of six 3D Ready DLP BrilliantColor professional projectors that offer high-quality 3D projection from a single projector. Incorporating DLP Link technology, when used with compatible 3D field sequential content and active shutter 3D glasses (not included) that support the DLP Link System, this full suite of models captivates audiences with breathtaking 3D imagery.* These projectors offer 3D support with both 60 Hz and 120 Hz XGA (1024 x 768) and SVGA (800 x 600) sources. Ideal for classrooms and meeting rooms, the projectors utilize Texas Instruments' BrilliantColor multi-color processing to provide enhanced colors and enriched imaging that bring presentations to life. The suite of new DLP BrilliantColor 3D-ready projectors includes:
-- PG-D45X3D -- 4500 ANSI Lumens, XGA Native Resolution
-- PG-D40W3D -- 4000 ANSI Lumens, WXGA Native Resolution
-- PG-D3510X -- 3500 ANSI Lumens, XGA Native Resolution
-- PG-D3010X -- 3000 ANSI Lumens, XGA Native Resolution
-- PG-D2710X -- 2700 ANSI Lumens, XGA Native Resolution
-- PG-D2500X -- 2500 ANSI Lumens, XGA Native Resolution
"These additions to Sharp's extensive projector suite enable interactive
learning and enhanced 3D presentations for education, business and
entertainment purposes," said Dan Wynne, senior director of marketing,
Professional Display Division, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of
America. "Using 3D shutter glasses, these high brightness projectors
offer compatibility with 3D content to better captivate students and
audiences, and they can also be used for traditional 2D content in a
variety of settings."
The new projectors feature DLP BrilliantColor technology for superior color
accuracy, creating truer, more vibrant colors. These models also offer
several features for energy savings, including low standby power
consumption and expanded lamp life when operated in eco mode.
Convenience and Ease of Use
These 3D-ready DLP BrilliantColor projectors offer several features for
ease-of-use and convenience in any professional setting. An on-screen
setup guide and "help" function ensures easy setup and operation out of the
box. A wireless remote includes a built-in spotlight function and an
on-screen pointer to help guide attendees through presentations. These
units also offer a lower cost of ownership and lower maintenance thanks to
the sealed DLP chip with filter-free design. Furthermore, a unique slide
lens cover protects the lens from dust and provides an instant lens
shutter. As a safety feature, if the lens cover is closed for more than 30
minutes, the projector is automatically turned off. A shutter door on the
lamp housing helps keep the glass confined in the event of lamp breakage
and the user replaceable lamp assembly offers front access for easy
replacement.
Extensive Connectivity
These new projectors offer extensive connectivity. The PG-D45X3D includes
an HDCP compliant DVI-I terminal for use with both analog and digital RGB
sources, the PG-D40W3D offers HDMI™ connectivity, and all six models
provide analog RGB and component inputs, S-video, composite video, as well
as RGB loop-through, an RS-232C port and a USB input for mouse control.
The projectors also offer powerful sound, with 10 Watts stereo audio (5W +
5W) on the PG-D45X3D and PG-D40W3D and 7 Watts on the other models in the
line-up. The projectors additionally have a built-in network connection
with an RJ-45 LAN Connector** for remote control and access by a Web
browser for diagnostics and automatic e-mail of product status. An
enhanced anti-theft design includes a reinforced metal security bar and
metal security plate and an optional ultra-heavy-duty security cable kit
for use with ceiling bracket.
The projectors are backed by a three-year parts and labor limited warranty
including three years of Sharp industry-leading 24-hour turnaround "ER"
Express Repair support. The warranty on the user-replaceable projection
lamp is 90 days.
