projectiondesign Commences Shipping of Native 1920 x 1200 WUXGA Resolution Projectors
Just two months since they made their worldwide debut at the Integrated Systems Europe show in Amsterdam, the world's first WUXGA resolution DLP projectors are now being shipped by Norwegian manufacturer projectiondesign.
The F10 wuxga and F30 wuxga projectors are capable of producing images at a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 56% increase over SXGA+, which has been projectiondesign's most popular resolution until now. WUXGA is a popular resolution for desktop monitors and notebook computers and is widely accepted as the resolution of choice in many industries. It is also backwards-compatible with UXGA at 1,600 x 1,200, making it ideal for upgrading legacy 4:3 aspect ratio systems to widescreen.
"We are delighted to be shipping the F10 wuxga and F30 wuxga so soon after unveiling them at ISE," says Anders Løkke, international marketing and communications manager at projectiondesign. "It underlines our commitment in providing our customers with the utmost in performance and flexibility, as well as our desire to stay at the forefront of available display technologies."
The main difference between the two models is brightness and configurability. While the F10 wuxga offers up to 3,100 ANSI lumens, the F30 wuxga offers 4,300, with more, and higher brightness models coming soon. While both models offer a selection of lenses - the F10 wuxga is available with both a wide angle and a zoom lens - the F30 offers a wide range of lenses covering 0.79 to 6.5:1 throw ratios. Additionally, the F30 wuxga features the projectiondesign patented DuArch illumination system for failsafe operation.
Both models feature projectiondesign's proprietary RealColor technology, compatibility with the company's ProNet remote asset management solution, full 10-bit resolution per colour and HDMI 1.3a connectivity.
Anders Løkke concludes: "While 1080p is widely used for video-centric applications, we believe WUXGA is a much better fit for the reproduction of computer resolutions. By providing more pixels on screen, it fits the native resolution of many graphics cards including high-end laptops. It also gives us the kind of clarity and fidelity we look for when working with integrators in the fields of 3D visualisation and simulation, which we believe will continue to be substantial growth areas for us in the years to come."
