Sanyo Presents the launch of a new and revolutionary projection technology that allows projection in a number of positions and on a number of untraditional surfaces, the PLC-XL51 ultra-short focus projector!
Imagine a room where the presenter paces in front of students while an 80 inch, sharp, clear image shimmers projected on the wall behind her from a projector mounted on the same wall.
She walks from one side of the image to the other without being blinded by the light from the projector and without casting long shadows on the image. If you can imagine this, you can imagine the Sanyo PLC-XL51 LCD Projector, the world's shortest throw distance LCD projector that you can use to view an image on the same wall that you mount the projector.
Sanyo's PLC-XL51 can be mounted on the wall and create an 80-inch projection from only 3 inches because of Sanyo's new large diameter aspheric lens and high precision mirror technology, just one of many technological breakthroughs for this projector.
World's Shortest Throw Distance
In order for SANYO to shorten the projection distance of the PLCXL51,
a new large diameter aspheric (non-spherical) lens and
high-precision aspheric mirror technology was developed. A new
optical engine was also developed, which enables an 80-inch
projection from the ultra-short distance of only 3-inches (8 cm).
This creates an opportunity to project extremely large images in
any room or space that is available.
New Optical Engine For Vertical And Horizontal Projection
The proprietary optical and cooling mechanism technologies used
in the PLC-XL51 allow both vertical and horizontal projection. The
new optical engine was created with a high-precision aspheric
mirror combined with a distortion correction mechanism lens,
enabling large magnification without distortion, even from ultrashort
distances. To allow projection either vertically or horizontally,
a special cooling mechanism was also essential. The resulting
solution is a one-way flow system consisting of an air intake and
exhaust mechanism on the main body of the projector -- thus
allowing optimal positioning of the main components..
World's First Projector Allowing Imaginative Versatile Applications
By shortening the distance for projection, the options for installation
are greatly improved, including floor, tabletop and wall mount
projection. The variety of applications is almost limitless, providing
effective, quick and easy presentations or displays. Projecting a
large screen image on the floor in a pre-school creates a new style
of teaching and classroom interaction. The PLC-XL51 presents a
new avenue for education/instruction, "edutainment," specialized
business viewing and informational attention-getting signage.
Easily Adapts To Different Projection Surfaces
Projection surface-oriented features include top and bottom
keystone correction for proper alignment of the projector and a
Color Board Mode, which allows adjustment of the hue when
projecting an image on a color (non-white) surface so that it
appears to be projected on a white surface. The additional Black
Board Mode enables educational institutions to use the projector
with all standardized educational boards.
Easy Set-up And Removal Plus Anti-Theft Alarm
The PLC-XL51 turns on automatically when the power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet. With the Easy-Off function, it's
possible to unplug the power cord without waiting for the machine
to cool down, making it convenient for quickly clearing away the
area after a presentation. The unit has been outfitted with a built-in,
vibration sensor alert. An alarm sounds when the unit is picked up,
proving to be an effective theft deterrent.
