NEC unveils three new CRT-based projectors; MultiSync XG Series provides unbeatable projected images.ITASCA I·tas·ca A lake of northwest Minnesota. It was identified in 1832 as the source of the Mississippi River. , Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 1996--NEC Technologies Inc. today pushed their long line of outstanding CRT-based projection systems to new levels of performance and quality with the introduction of the MultiSync(R) XG Series. The new XG Series projectors deliver superior image quality, tremendous reliability and ease-of-use, and offer outstanding compatibility with virtually every computer and video source in use today. Building on the success and heritage of previous MultiSync CRT-based projectors from NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. , the XG Series projectors have been completely redesigned to answer the needs of demanding end-users. "We've expanded our CRT projector A CRT projector is a video projector that uses a small, high-brightness CRT (or picture tube) as the image generating element. The image is then focused and enlarged onto a screen using a lens kept in front of the CRT face. line to three projectors, offering a solution for virtually every application," explains Dan Zubic, product specialist for NEC Technologies' Professional Graphics Group. "Our MultiSync projectors are the ultimate projection choice for fixed installations, offering the best color contrast ratio and best color reproduction available. In fact, no other projector or technology can provide the versatility, sharpness and true color (1) Specifically, refers to 16,777,216 colors (24-bit color). See high color. (2) Generically, refers to photo-realistic color (typically requires 24-bit color as a minimum). reproduction of the MultiSync XG Series projectors for any resolution, display source or application." The three projectors in the line are: - MultiSync XG75 -- Ideal for general computer or video display for corporate conference room applications, training facilities, medical training and sophisticated entertainment applications, the MultiSync XG75 offers horizontal scan frequencies between 15 and 75 kHz and a video bandwidth The transmission capacity required to display video, measured in MHz, and calculated by horizontal x vertical resolution x frames/sec. For example, an 800x600 resolution at 60 fps yields a 28.8 MHz video bandwidth. NTSC video uses a 4.2 MHz video bandwidth. See NTSC. of 100 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . The projector delivers a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 and a light output of 230 ANSI lumens. The MultiSync XG75 will begin shipping in November 1996 with a suggested retail price (SRP SRP - A data link layer protocol. ) of $14,500. - MultiSync XG110 -- Designed for more demanding image display needs such as network control rooms, CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. applications or flight and military simulation Military simulations, also known informally as war games, are simulations in which theories of warfare can be tested and refined without the need for actual hostilities. Many professional analysts object to the term wargames applications, the MultiSync XG110 offers horizontal scan frequencies from 15 to 110 kHz and a video bandwidth of 120 MHz. Offering a maximum resolution of 2000 x 2000, the projector delivers a light output of 230 ANSI lumens. The MultiSync XG110 will begin shipping in August 1996 with an SRP of $19,995. - MultiSync XG135 -- Best-suited for environments that display the most precise, high-resolution images, including CAD/CAM applications or computer and engineering research facilities, the MultiSync XG135 offers horizontal scan frequencies of 15 to 135 kHz and a video bandwidth of 120 MHz. Offering a maximum resolution of 2500 x 2000, the projector delivers light output of 230 ANSI lumens. The MultiSync XG135 will begin shipping in August 1996 with an SRP of $22,995. Two Modes of Convergence In mathematics, there are many senses in which a sequence or a series is said to be convergent. The aim of this article is to serve as an index for various modes (senses) of convergence, organized according to the settings in which they are defined. Control ________________________________ The MultiSync XG Series projectors offer a range of convergence correction tools to manipulate broad corrections to the most precise pinpoint control. The first of these, NEC's exclusive AccuPoint(TM) Convergence Technology, ensures clear, consistent, accurately converged images on large screens through the individual manipulation of 150 different convergence points. In addition, NEC's exclusive AccuZone Convergence Technology allows users to easily adjust 4, 9, 16 or 25 convergence points simultaneously. The remote control and on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1. As shown on a movie, television, or display screen. 2.

This feature will be available on the MultiSync XG Series projectors in November 1996. For added picture quality, the projectors also feature white uniformity correction to minimize image color impurities. And to extend the life of the high-quality images offered by the XG Series projectors, an Image Shift Phosphor-Saving Technology orbits the screen image preventing phosphor burn-in. The projectors also continually perform self-diagnosis tests and display the results of these tests on a rear-panel digital display for simplified maintenance. NEC's AccuBeam(TM) Dynamic Astigmatism astigmatism (əstĭg`mətĭz'əm), type of faulty vision caused by a nonuniform curvature in the refractive surfaces—usually the cornea, less frequently the lens—of the eye. Adjustment technology provides the most accurate electronic focus for absolutely clear, sharp projected images in the center and all corners of the screen. The projectors' contrast modulation feature allows for even illumination across the screen, resulting in a more uniform screen image. Remote Controls Simplify Operation __________________________________ A comprehensive input panel on the projectors provides standard inputs for one Video, one S-video and one RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). , with two additional video or RGB inputs available for a total of five video inputs. Setup and source switching for the three projectors is a breeze using one of two remote controls. For added convenience, the MultiSync XG Series projectors feature two remote controls for simplified operation and setup. A full-featured setup remote enables even the most novice user to quickly and easily make comprehensive image adjustments, select sources and program settings. The remote is back lit for ease-of-use in darkened dark·en v. dark·ened, dark·en·ing, dark·ens v.tr. 1. a. To make dark or darker. b. To give a darker hue to. 2.

A second user remote gives access to such adjustments as source selection, brightness and contrast, and features a compact, hand-held size for easier use during presentations. Both remote controls simplify setup, operation and troubleshooting by utilizing helpful on-screen menus. The MultiSync XG Series projectors also offer closed-caption technology for the hearing-impaired. The projectors decode signals sent by broadcast television networks to enable on-screen viewing of audio information in text format. As an added option, the MultiSync XG Series projectors feature PC Control with ACAT ACAT See: Automated Customer Account Transfer (Automatic Convergence Adjustment Technology). Used with a PC, this feature allows a user to control all projector controls from the PC's keyboard and mouse. For installations using multiple projectors, ACAT allows up to 64 projectors to be controlled from a single PC. Another key benefit is that the user can download and save convergence and picture memory parameters to a computer hard drive or floppy disk. This information can be reloaded to the projector at any time and is a valuable time-saving tool in the event the projector data is lost or changed.
