Specialist video maker Runco QuantumColor Q-750i and Q-750d front projectors got a lot of attention at last year's CEDIA, as they’re the company’s first offerings that include a trio of high-output, light-emitting diodes that provide the light source, in lieu of the traditional high pressure lamp.
Whatever you do, don't touch the PD8150. This is not, as you're certainly expecting, because it will bite you. Once your installer mounts it and wipes it off, leave it alone. This is because the stylish, gloss black case attracts fingerprints like a Hummer attracts scornful glances. There's even a handy cloth in the case to clean it. But once it's up there (out of reach), the color that comes out of it is something to behold.
Neo-i Gives Plug ‘n' Play Audio Video Compatibility to Portable Media Players & Other Source Components
Optoma, the world's best-selling brand of DLP projectors and leader in Pico projection technology, has introduced the Neo-i, the first all-in-one iPod® sound dock with built-in Pico projector, giving digital media device users plug ‘n' play compatibility in one transportable, tabletop device. Complete with built-in a 16-watt stereo speaker system and additional inputs to accommodate just about any source component, the Neo-i provides users with a simple, unique audio/video solution.

Aimed at the high-end custom installation market for use in luxury lifestyle applications, the newest avielo series of high performance projectors are designed and hand-built in Fredrikstad, Norway by projectiondesign®. These avielo projectors feature the same advanced imaging technology that is used to make block-buster movies.
avielo optix SuperWide 235
According to the manufacturer, the SuperWide 235 is the world's first native 2.35:1 home-theater projector, providing video signal exactly as the director intended. The heart of the engine is Texas Instruments' newest high pixel-density DLP chip, which delivers true 2538 x 1080 resolution. No more black bars, no more need for anamorphic, secondary lenses softening image clarity. Movies can be viewed in native wide format, just as the director intended. Does 2538 x 1080 resolution without the addition of ancillary optics impress you? The projector uses increased native resolution to expand the width of the image without impacting the height.
Based on the award-winning avielo optix Full HD projector, the avielo optix 3D adds a proprietary image processing engine to create 3D from stereoscopic sources including the latest Blu-ray Disc players and sources with single HDMI 1.4 outputs.
Stewart Filmscreen Corporation® is announcing its participation in the RealTime UnReal installation commissioned by the Museum of the Moving Image. The exhibit, RealTime UnReal, designed by Thomas Soetens and Kora Van den Bulcke of Workspace Unlimited, utilizes Stewart Filmscreen's Silver 5D material to demonstrate the pinnacle of modern 3Di capabilities.
The installation addresses the fusion of physical and digital space, employing 2 stereoscopic projections on a double-sided projection screen and game engine software customized by the artists, capturing visitors in the physical space and displaying them in an imaginary world. The virtual world seems to occupy physical space like a sculpture in the museum, an alternate reality floating in midair. Walking around the virtual world alters its viewpoint, reveals impossible perspectives and simultaneous occurrences, and disrupts its architecture. Realtime Unreal challenges visitors to bridge the gap between what their eyes perceive and what their minds believe is unreal.
Media Décor, the manufacturer of elegant solutions to discreetly conceal flat screen TVs, has just debuted its new Allure Series with iColor frames.
As flat screen TVs grow larger and thinner, many consumers are choosing to mount them up and out of the way on a wall like a piece of fine art.

Enter Media Décor's new Allure Moving Art Series-a simple solution to attractively conceal that flat panel on the wall.
The Allure's clean, contemporary lines are complemented by a wide variety of high-gloss colors from Apple Green to Zebra Black (or White) and any color in-between. The right color can be selected with a free downloadable app from iTunes for the iPhone, Blackberry or Android Smartphones. Alternatively, clients have the option to send Media Décor a color chip, fabric swatch or color code number and they will match it.

dnp, the Danish supplier of optical front and rear projection screens for high-quality display solutions, has unveiled the latest in rear projection, the dnp Zenith Screen line, at the recently held Integrated Systems Europe Tradeshow (ISE) Amsterdam. dnp's new Zenith Screen has been designed to meet the challenges of today's brighter, more powerful projectors such as preventing hotspots while at the same time, improving contrast, brightness, uniformity and balancing viewing angles. Key to this is the screen's improved contrast and uniformity, achieved with a gain of 2.2, along with more tint and an anti-glare surface that minimizes reflected ambient light. In particular, the improved uniformity eliminates the distracting hotspots often observed with today's high-lumens projectors.
The dnp Zenith Screen line is designed for the 100"-plus market; especially for TV studios, conference rooms, home entertainment and multiple screen installations, i.e. simulation or control rooms, where high-quality images are essential even in unfavorable lighting conditions. dnp corporate headquarters is located in Karlslunde, Denmark. MCF Marketing represents dnp in the US, maintaining sales, showroom and service facilities in Irvine, California. dnp also operates a distribution center in San Diego, California.
