Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America’s Presentation Products Division has announced its 500 family of projectors that boast Texas Instruments’ new DDP 2230 DMD chip with DLP technology and the latest version of BrilliantColor.
Mitsubishi’s 500 series includes XGA (1024×768 pixels) projectors with its XD500U at 2200 lumens; XD510U at 2600 lumens; XD520U at 3000 lumens; and an SVGA (800×600) model, SD510U at 2200 lumens. Each projector in the family has a six-segment color wheel (R, G, B, W, Y, C) and Color Enhancer2 with dynamic lamp power design.
These filter-free projectors have a center lens design and top-loading lamp. Color wall support allows users to select a particular surface color including beige, blue, green, pink, blackboard or the new whiteboard setting that helps eliminate hotspots. Once the color is chosen, the projector automatically adjusts its output to create the best image possible for that background or base color surface, making set up in classrooms and conference rooms a breeze.
Each projector in the 500 family provides separate audio inputs for computer and video, dual computer inputs and a monitor loop through to maximize set up and installation options, as well as RS232 for remote projector management. Other features include a splash screen, password protection and reinforced anti-theft security bar help create peace of mind for security-conscious users.
Mitsubishi’s XD500U, XD510U, and SD510U will ship before the end of the month with suggested retail pricing starting at $995. The XD520U is targeted to be released soon afterwards.
