Sharp Announces XG-P560W DLP WXGA Professional Projector
Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA) today announced the XG-P560W Wide-XGA .65-inch 3-chip DLP Professional Projector. This projector has around 5,200 Lumens and WXGA (1280 x 800) native resolution. This projector also includes a built-in video-processing chip that is called the Sharp “CV-IC II System.” It is a powerful projector and considered groundbreaking because it is Sharp’s first 3-chip DLP technology that offers 1280 x 800 resolution. Not only is it unique with regard to these qualities, but the projector has a 1,800:1 contrast ratio, WXGA native resolution for detailed images, seven interchangeable lenses, and a dual-lamp lighting system for environments such as shaded rooms where users can utilize single lamp or use in “eco” low brightness mode. The XG-P560W will join the available XG-P610X projector series which is a 6,000 Lumen, .7-inch XGA 3-chip DLP Professional Projector.
The XG-P560W has a feature for RJ-45 LAN networking, and has Display Manager Software that can connect one or more LAN-enabled projectors for configuration. Having several lens options is also an important feature of this model, which provides various placement choices such as motorized “H & V” optical lens shift which can minimize keystone distortion. The standard lens is a 1.25x powered zoom/focus for a maximum screen size of 280 inches. According to Dan Wynne, senior director of marketing, Professional Display Division, SIICA, “This model allows us to provide customers with excellent image quality and reliability at an affordable price point.”
The XG-P560W will be available in June with a price of around $16,995, and the XG-P560WN (the model which does not include the lens) will be available in June at around $15,995. So for this modest price, it might be worth having in your conference room or home theater.
