Electrohome Projection Systems Introduces First Projector in New VistaGRAPHX Series.KITCHENER, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 1998-- Rental/Staging Market to Benefit from Reduced Set-Up Time, Easy Operability Operability is the ability to keep a system in a functioning and operating condition. In a computing systems environment with multiple systems this includes the ability of products, systems and business processes to work together to accomplish a common task such as finding and and True XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. Resolution Electrohome Projection Systems, a leading manufacturer of high-resolution video/data/graphics projection systems, today introduced the VistaGRAPHX(TM) high brightness projector -- based on the three-chip Digital Light Processing(TM) (DLP (Digital Light Processing) A data projection technology from TI that produces clear, readable images on screens in lit rooms. DLP is used in all types of projection devices, from data projectors that weigh only a few pounds to large rear-projection TVs to electronic (TM)) engine by Texas Instruments See TI.

The variables are listed in columns designated along the horizontal border and the same or different variables in lines along the vertical and compelling video and data images, the projector kicks off Electrohome's new VistaGRAPHX series of all-digital DLP based projectors with XGA resolution. The VistaGRAPHX series will particularly benefit companies in the rental/staging market that use projectors in large venue events and road shows including conventions, concerts, religious tours, business presentations, entertainment and sports features as well as TV productions. The VistaGRAPHX provides high-brightness capabilities for applications demanding large screen and/or high ambient light conditions. The VistaGRAPHX is differentiated by its ease and speed of set-up, small size, and high brightness and resolution while maintaining superior quality video and data images. Requiring only 110 volts, and utilizing a 500-watt CERMAX Xenon xenon (zē`nŏn) [Gr.,=strange], gaseous chemical element; symbol Xe; at. no. 54; at. wt. 131.29; m.p. −111.9°C;; b.p. −107.1°C;; density 5.86 grams per liter at STP; valence usually 0. lamp, the projector plugs into any standard outlet and requires only five minutes of set-up time. Weighing in at 79 lbs and measured at only 28.6"x22.7"x11.8", the VistaGRAPHX is easy to transport and lowers the standard 3-4 hour set-up darktime to 30 minutes. Unlike LCD metal Halide lamps, the Xenon lamp architecture allows the Vista image color temperature The measurement of color expressed in Kelvin (K). The reason this measurement is called a "temperature" is because it was derived from a theoretical object called a "black body radiator." When the radiator is heated, it changes from black to red to yellow to white to blue. to remain flat across the life of the lamp.

"We recognize that time is an important factor to the rental market," said Gerry Remers, vice-president and general manager of Electrohome Projection Systems. "Electrohome addresses this concern with a projector that is quick to set up, long-running, and requires little maintenance." The all-digital architecture of the VistaGRAPHX is supported by its intuitive, menu-driven control software and its compatibility with a variety of signal sources. Equipped with a graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to that combines a hand-held remote, the VistaGRAPHX is also easy to operate. The VistaGRAPHX will carry a suggested U.S. list price of $69,995 and is available immediately.
