Sharp Corporation of Australia’s new LCD projector model, the XGC455W, is a sophisticated installation projector with mobile functionality to meet complex needs of today’s ever-changing businesses. Offering maximum projection size up to 500 inches, WXGA compatibility and outstanding performance, it is perfectly suited for mid to large venue room applications.
 
The Sharp XG-C455W employs widescreen WXGA (1,280 x 800) resolution to offer a viewing area 1.25 times wider than standard XGA. With 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio becoming increasingly common with modern business applications and its compatibility with HD signal (TV broadcast, Blu-ray etc.) this state of the art projector allows viewing widescreen media in full native size.
 
The projector’s superb high-quality picture reproduction and a vibrant colour spectrum are thanks to the Reon VX video processor, with award-winning Hollywood Quality Video® technology, to provide the highest quality 1080p image. As well, the advanced HQV® scaling, noise reduction and detail enhancement engines ensure that SD images are up-converted and delivered at a quality approaching HD.
 
High brightness of 4,000 ANSI Lumens combined with Sharp’s optoelectronic technology maximises the XG-C455W’s light output and produces bright, sharp images even in large and well lit rooms. To reduce the projector brightness and minimise the fan noise the Eco+Quiet mode may be turned on, which also helps to reduce the projector running cost and extend the projector and its lamp life-span.
 
Weighing in at just 4.9 kg its compact design with a carry handle and a recessed lens for added protection against damage while in transit makes portability easy and secure. Further aiding its portability is the easy set-up system with auto or manual keystone correction and tilt leveler for quick adjustment of the projected image to the viewers comfort. Its mobility is enhanced by the direct power off function allowing instant unplugging and removal of the projector without waiting for the projector to cool down.
 
To aid simple installation the Sharp XG-C455W features four optional lenses and a quick replacement system for a wide variety of applications and projection situations. These lenses allow projection distances ranging from 3.2m up to 15.5m for a 100-inch wide screen (16:10 aspect ratio). The side access lamp and filter construction enables easy projector maintenance whether ceiling mounted or on the tabletop.
 
Other advanced features include Sharp Unique Network System providing the remote access and management of the projector via a LAN connection. It enables a wide range of control and diagnosis functions, such as power on, input select and volume adjustment by a computer located in another room, or sending an automatic e-mail message when detecting event like fan break-down, unusual heating or lamp going out. It offers the capability of Network Surveillance System for theft detection as an add-on feature to other hardware protection: system lock, Kensington lock and Notevision lockdown functions.
 
The Sharp XG-C455W Projector with WXGA is available now from leading electrical retailers priced at $3,999 RRP.
