Last week Kramer introduced the TP-121/123/125EDID twisted pair transmitters. They are HDTV compatible and support resolutions up to WUXGA or 1080p, and Kramer says has a range of up to 300 feet.

All three models are computer graphics video and audio line transmitters, but the TP-123EDID also transmits unidirectional RS-232 commands over twisted pair, and the TP-125EDID transmits and processes bidirectional RS-232 control command signals between the source and display.

I continue to question the legal and binding nature of working from a customer-issued purchase order. Just this month, another member called about a cancelled purchasing order (P.O.) for a very large system. Since the company first placed the order, new technology caught their eye. So, they canceled the order and refused to pay the restocking fees.

This has probably happened to all of us at one time or another. What are our rights in this case? Can we fight this in court? Will the relationship with the owner ever recover if we do? There is no clear or good answer, but I do have some advice.

Sold only through distribution, Epson launched two new (what they are calling affordable) projectors for the meeting room market in the form of the PowerLite 1220 ($649) for XGA resolution applications and the PowerLite 1260 ($749) for widescreen WXGA resolution (16:10 aspect ratio) applications.

Both projectors are 3LCD, feature Epson’s E-TORL lamp technology, 2600 lumens (not ANSI), HDMI, VGA and video ports as well as 1.2:1 zoom lens.

OmniMount’s LED Series is a family of three mounts that’s being marketed as designed for thin LED HDTVs. It’s offered as an “in-wall” mount (it’s about 90 percent in the wall) that can be mounted on the wall with a thin face-plate, inside the wall (and then protrude out from the wall to swivel), or suspended via a cable on the wall. The three mounts will be shown at this month’s CEDIA show, but you can see details here: http://www.pitchengine.com/pitch/83404/

Dominated by DLP technology, the future of the projector market is 3D, according to Pacific Media Associates (PMA), the premiere info-gathering firm for worldwide front projector market information.

According to PMA, the worldwide front projector market for 3D-enabled models will grow from about 1.0 million during 2010 to nearly 5.4 million in 2010. 

“PMA forecasts that the lion’s share of annual shipments will be those models incorporating TI’s DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology because it takes very little additional effort or cost to make those models 3D-ready,” said Dr. William Coggshall, President of Pacific Media Associates.
