World's brightest sub-6lb. microportable digital projector debuted by Plus Corporation
Underscoring
its commitment to meet the user requirements of mobile communications
professionals everywhere, be they on the road or running from room
to room, PLUS Corporation today announced the immediate expansion
of its popular PLUS U2 Series of digital projectors with the introduction
of two new enhanced XGA models that deliver best in class performance
and value.
At the INFOCOMM 2000 Show opening today in Anaheim, California,
PLUS is debuting the new PLUS U2-1130 XGA and PLUS 1110 XGA Digital
Projectors, delivering, respectively, 1300 and 1100 ANSI lumens
of brightness. The development of the new U2-1130 XGA digital projector
marks another milestone in PLUS Corporation's history of presentation
product innovation. The U2-1130 is believed to be the world's brightest
microportable digital projector in the sub-6lb. category.
According to PLUS, the ability to achieve higher outputs of brightness
and finer image quality resolution in a microportable projector
has been achieved by combining the capabilities of Digital Light
Processing_ technology by Texas Instruments with the unique technical
expertise of PLUS and its patented PLUS Optical Engine.
"Just as PLUS has redefined the definition of what is state-of-the-art
for truly mobile communications professionals with the debut of
the world's first sub-3lb. series of digital projectors at INFOCOMM
2000, we are equally committed to meeting the enhanced user requirements
of professionals who work in other room-to-room and mobile environments,"
PLUS Corporation President Tom Oishi said today. "The enhanced
and expanded U2 Series delivers a wider range of configurations
for professionals to choose from. The higher outputs of brightness
from the U2-1130 and U2-1110 projectors, together with already-established
superior image quality PLUS digital projectors are known for, means
that we can deliver new level of quality performance and value for
professionals who work in room-to-room and mobile environments."
According to Sherel Horsley, Senior Vice President and Product Manager
at the Texas Instruments Digital Imaging Division, "This announcement
of enhancements to the PLUS U2 Series, together with their simultaneous
announcement of the breakthrough PLUS U3 Series of projectors,
gives PLUS an extraordinarily attractive product line-up in this
rapidly growing segment of the market. Once again, PLUS Corporation's
expertise and the unparalleled ability of DLP_ technology to enable
optimum combinations of light weight and high brightness looks as
if it will prove a winner."
The new PLUS U2-1130 and U2-1110 XGA Digital Projectors both feature
Digital Light Processing_ technology by Texas Instruments, weigh
5.7 and 5.6 pounds, measure 2.3" thin, and feature a 800:1 full
on/off contrast ratio. Both also include the patented PLUS Optical
Engine, advanced compression technology, full function remote control
with laser pointer, digital keystone correction, automatic adjustment
set-up, x1.2 manual and x4 digital zoom, freeze frame and pic mute,
built-in direct mouse control, quick release adjustable feet, and
a rugged magnesium alloy case that's designed to stand up to the
punishment that often occurs to projectors when they are on the
road.
Every PLUS U2 Series Digital Projector comes packaged as a complete
system solution. All of the cables, adapters, batteries, as well
as remote control and soft carrying case, are included to ensure
that communications professionals can start making complete presentations
as soon as they open up the box.
