Barco’s merger with projectiondesign is celebrated with their first collaborative product line in the form of the F50 Series of projectors. And, it was all captured on video as rAVe founder Gary Kayye, toasts the launch with Jorn Eriksen, General Manager of the projectiondesign division and Patrick Lee, VP of Marketing, Corporate and Entertainment.

I was honored to be invited to be the MC for the first birthday celebration of the merger between Barco and projectiondesign this morning; but, problem was, I was nervous. After 20-some years of interviewing all sorts of industry experts, pundits, executives and spokespeople, I can’t remember having more butterflies than I had this morning […]

The new F35 Panorama projector from projectiondesign has an exceptionally wide image aspect ratio of 21:9 or 2.37:1. In an office environment with an average ceiling height, this enables images as wide as 4 meters (13 feet) to be created without the need for edge-blending the output of two separate projectors or simultaneous side-by-side projection […]

projectiondesign is now shipping X-Port, a small module-based extension input that enables connectivity to and from current and future video formats for all projectiondesign projectors. X-Port plugs into the back of the projector and is currently available as two modules, a DCC120 Dual Channel Combiner and a 3G-SDI interface. The DCC120 works as an image […]

projectiondesign’s new F85 is a 3-chip DLP (3D capable) projector that claims a brightness of 11,000 lumens (not ANSI), and a contrast ratio of 14,000:1. Available in WUXGA or 1080p resolutions, the F85 can optically switch between REC.709, which refers to HDTV systems having roughly two million luma samples per frame, and DCI P7 color […]

This will be worth going to see as rAVe has long said that HDBaseT will be the future way meeting rooms, classrooms and signal routing will be done in systems in the ProAV market. Norway’s projectiondesign will show a concept projector integrated with an HDBaseT interface (video, data and power over the network) at InfoComm. […]

According to projectiondesign, as a direct result of feedback from its dealers and customers (sounds like marketing hype to us), Norway’s projectiondesign upgraded its F32 series of DLP projectors at InfoComm 2010, including a new spec claim of more than 8,000 lumens. Available with a choice of WUXGA, 1080p or SXGA+ resolutions to ensure optimum […]

Although this projector doesn’t have many HomeAV applications, we thought you might want to see it – it’s unique.  projectiondesign has launched a projector that actually remotely locates the lamp source away from the projector itself.  Designed for environments where you need a totally encapsulated projection design (vent-less projector for harsh environments – think bars […]

One common theme in projectorland at InfoComm was LED-lit LCD and DLP projectors. As most rAVe readers know by now, LEDs are inexpensive to operate (energy-efficiency wise), last forever (in the range of 20,000, up to even 100,000 hours) and have white light darn close to the true white-point of 6500K. With that in mind, […]
