Toshiba has announced the addition of a new projector, TLP-X4500U, to its line of
business models. Designed for use in such large venues as auditoriums,
the TLP-X4500U features 4,500 lumens brightness, XGA resolution at
1024 x 768, 750:1 contrast ratio, two one-watt stereo speakers and
DVI, S-Video component and composite ports. In addition, it offers
picture-in-picture mode and horizontal and vertical digital keystone
correction that helps keep distortion out of projected images. The new
projector is available now for US$6,499.
Pocket-Lint
reviews the pleasingly droid-like Toshiba ET1 projector, a relatively
low-quality (848 x 480 pixel) home projector that is most notable for
its swiveling base. The idea is to use the ET1 wherever convenient,
like a coffee table, say. This would be fine if the native resolution
weren't crap -- 800 x 600 is the bare minimum these days as far as I'm
concerned. Pocket-Lint likes it, though, and I suppose for regular
television or videogaming, it'd probably be fine. £1000 just
seems like a lot of money when there are projectors on the market like
the Infocus X2 for even less money. Read [Pocket-Lint]
Toshiba has announced
their new DLP Projector, called the TDP-SC25U. Featuring a detachable
document camera, the projector weighs just 8.6 pounds and maintains a
high level of portability for the roving college professor. It accepts
S-video, component and composite inputs and features a monitor output
connector that lets users see what's being projected onto an external
display. The benefit with this design, as DAPreview points out, is
that it affords the presenter the ability to face his audience while
presenting instead of needing to turn to review his slides. A
suggested price of $1,200 along with a projection distance of up to 33
ft and a diagonal screen size reaching 300 inches makes this projector
quite tempting. Toshiba says that it's shipping now, too.
Toshiba adds new projector to line-up03/06/2004 01:55 AM Toshiba announced recently that
the company will add a new projector, the TLP-S70U, to its line-up in
April. It's capable of projecting images at 2,000 ANSI lumens in an
SVGA (800 x 600) format, bright enough to make presentations in almost
any ambient light setting.

News: Toshiba projector has detachable document camera
News: Toshiba projector has detachable document camera04/12/2005 05:24 PM Toshiba's Digital Products Division on Tuesday introduced the
TDP-SC25U mobile projector, designed to work with Macs, PCs and other
input sources. It also includes a detachable document camera so users
can show off 3D objects or other physical demonstrations.
Toshiba today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show the result of
a successful project to breed huge humans. Industry insiders suspect
that with Moore's Law starting to crumble, and physical limits on
lithographic technology causing tremendous problems on the continued
minituarisation of a range of devices, that the solution was to breed
huge people, which in the words of a spokesman, "...obviously have
huge hands...".
Results of this programme are demonstrated in the above photographs
showing large humans (TM) to scale against a traditional 40GB SCSI
drive. As can be seen from the above images, the technoloy has also
been applied to children, in attempts to bring school bullying to a
historic end. Rumours that Toshiba have in fact just announced a tiny
hard drive are being dismissed as ludicrous.

Toshiba offers new LCD projectors for mobile users05/25/2004 01:12 PM Toshiba's Digital Products Division (DPD) has introduced the TDP-S20U
and TDP-SW20U, two new Digital Light Processor (DLP)-based projectors
aimed at mobile users, educators and small to medium businesses. Both
projectors sport 1,400 ANSI lumens, 2000:1 contrast ratio and native
SVGA 800x600 pixel resolution. Supported input sources include
composite, S-Video and component RGB. The TDP-SW20U can also
communicate of wireless networks using the IEEE 802.11b standard. Both
systems will be available in June; the TDP-S20U will cost US$999 and
the TDP-S20U will cost $1,199. Toshiba's Web site did not appear to
have pages for the new products as MacCentral posted this article.
Toshiba Offers New Partner Discounts On Demo Notebooks
Cometa's Venues Scrambling05/24/2004 05:21 PM Tully's and others figuring out next steps for Wi-Fi as Cometa slowly
turns off the lights: You can tell how confusing the situation is when
the Tully's VP quoted in the story confuses AT&T with AT&T
Wireless. AT&T had invested in Cometa; AT&T Wireless is
merging with Cingular. (After which point, AT&T will regain the
AT&T Wireless name, very likely, and resell Sprint PCS service
under that brand!) A Cometa spokesperson is quoted as saying
McDonald's award of its entire Wi-Fi installation to Wayport did not
have anything to do with the decision by investors to end funding of
Cometa. From what I have heard from various sources, this is correct.
In fact, given their investment picture, had they bagged McDonald's,
they might still have found themselves in the same place. The report
says that AT&T withdrew its backing from the venture, but that's
incorrect. One division of AT&T that was reselling Cometa service
stopped its reselling agreement, but the reporters imply this was
connected to the investment side, which wasn't the case. AT&T and
IBM made token investments in the venture despite being listed as
marquee partners. This may have hurt Cometa's ability to raise money
from other, small venture firms. The article also says that hereUare
was a Wi-Fi casualty. While I can't tell what they're up to, they
still have a live Web site, and Ikano appears to be using their system
alongside their WiFi Metro purchase. It may be that this is just for
appearances, but it's not clear that hereUare has perished....

Infocus 4805 projector08/01/2004 03:30 AM Some weeks ago we got an Infocus 4805 projector. I picked that one
because it got good reviews and at $1500 was one of the cheapest 16:9
DLP projectors I could find. Crutchfield have a 30 day return policy
with no restocking fee or any such sillyness, so I thought I'd be
worth to try out rather than ordering a more expensive one. If you go
higher you are mostly paying for higher resolution, which you can't
use anyway if...
We don't usually cover

have enough room to project a video in your car, then you need to
rethink your priorities.
New: Xerox DP 820 digital projector12/27/2004 03:15 AM Xerox introduced the DP 820 digital projector, a 4.5 pound device that
offers a contrast ratio of 2000:1, 1600 ANSI lumens, and 800x600
resolution.
Here's an idea I came up with while on a walk tonight. There's a
50-percent chance it's already been invented — if it has, tell
me where to find it.
The world needs a PC projector that will cache the displayed image.
Say I'm tooling through my presentation in front of Mr. Venture
Capitalist and I suddenly need to find something on a Web site.
Now, I don't want Mr. VC to see me fumbling around the Web (I'm
supposed to know what I'm doing, right?), so the only choice I have is
to shut off the projector or suspend the connection from the laptop so
that I can Google without being displayed to the room. Room goes
dark, there's an uncomfortable silence, and it's painfully obvious
that everyone is waiting on me.
But what if I could freeze the image displayed from the projector?
That way, VC and Co. could continue to look at the last slide I was
showing them (my partner would chime in here with something witty to
take the focus off me) and I could search away.
When I finally found what I needed and my screen looked like I
wanted it to, I could resume the projector. Extra points if I could
fade in from the last displayed image to my current screen.
Does this exist? If so, show me. If not, I just gave away a
million dollar idea. That should be engraved on my
tombstone.
If a DLP (digital light processing) projector is your
cup of tea, Mitsubishi's announcement of the "LVP-XD450" should be
your cup of coffee. According to Mitsubishi, this new projector has
the industry's highest brightness and contrast ratio (2,600 Lumens and
2,200:1 respectively; don't know about "highest," but that is pretty
good). And since the projectors are rated at screens up to 200-inch, I
would be fully willing to review one of these units for anyone who has
one on hand, provided you also supply the screen. I doubt my computer
could actually run Doom III at this projector's 1280 x 1024
resolution, but Pinkydemons would still be life-sized.
