Sanyo Releases Two Anniversary Projectors

Printer-friendly version

Sanyo has introduced two new projectors with over 5000 lumens incorporating their proprietary Active Maintenance Filter (AMF) system and a new optical engine to ensure high reliability to mark their 20th anniversary of developing projectors.
 
The PLC-XM150/150L is rated at 6000 lumens and the PLC-XM100/100L projector at 5000 lumens.  An inorganic liquid crystal panel was incorporated into the newly developed optical engine and combined with a superior cooling technology, which has enabled both projectors to achieve such high brightness levels. In fact, the light efficiency is approximately 20% higher compared to Sanyo’s conventional models, thus enabling big screen projection in large venues and well-lit areas and for digital signage.
 
In an attempt to provide high reliability and easy maintenance, both models are equipped with Sanyo’s exclusive Active Maintenance Filter (AMF) system. A single cartridge contains 10 filter rolls and lasts approximately 10,000 hours. When the system detects air blocks or clogs, the filter reel scrolls to the next clean filter.
 
With five lens options available for the two projectors, the most suitable lens can be selected for the installation site so that the projectors can be used in a wide variety of venue settings. Projector adjustments can also be made without changing their position using the power vertical/ horizontal lens shifting and power zoom/ focus functions adjusted by remote control.
 
The vertical 360o tilt angle feature means that projectors can be beamed onto the ceiling, floor or any other surface. The auto-input signal search function automatically detects the signal input.
 
Both models are compatible with Sanyo’s optional PJ-NET Organizer that enables centralised control of the projector over a network, using the projector's wired LAN terminal (RJ-45). Other functions for professional use include corner keystone correction, which straightens the image when projecting from an angle, and mechanical shutter which temporarily blocks the lamp output. The direct power-off function allows the projector to shut down without the need to cool down.
 
Mark Holt, Vice President and General Manager for Sanyo’s Presentation Technologies Division, comments, "These two new projectors represent the type of out-of-the-box functions and high-brightness/high-image-quality technologies that have made Sanyo a world leader in the industry."
