Sanyo PLC-XU78 Ultra Portable LCD Video Projector

Sanyo PLC-XU78 MSRP: $2,295

Overview

Ultra-compact, fully portable XGA design

Not much larger than a laptop PC, the PLC-XU78 weighs less than 6.8 pounds and delivers true XGA picture quality in a versatile, go-anywhere system. May also be ceiling or inverse mounted for enhanced versatility.

F1.65-1.81 zoom lens with 1/2X TO 16X digital zoom

Comes with its own 1:1.2 zoom lens, which can throw a crisp, bright 100” diagonal image from a distance of only 11.5’. 1/2X to 16X Digital Zoom helps highlight important program segments.

New progressive IC with 3-2 and 2-2 pulldown

SANYO’s proprietary progressive integrated circuit significantly improves the appearance of moving images. This IC incorporates 3-2 and 2-2 pulldown technology, which can effectively double the resolution of images from DVD playback.

Dual D-SUB15 inputs

The PLC-XU78 offers excellent flexibility via a pair of D-Sub 15 input terminals. Using an optional adapter cable, it can even accept component video signals. One of the D-Sub 15 terminals can even be switched between input and monitor output for greater programming flexibility.

Black Board mode

For more effective presentations in rooms with dark-surfaced walls (i.e.: green boards), the PLC-XU78 projector features BLACK BOARD MODE, which adjusts white balance and gamma correction automatically to project clear image without a screen.

Security features

PIN code lock provides settings for security. The PLC-XU78 projector cannot be operated without a four digit number.

User-specified start-up screen

To create a smoother, more professional presentation, logo and image files may be captured for display during the projector’s countdown sequence at start-up.

Variable audio out

This convenient feature on the PLC-XU78 allows the user to control the audio level right from the projector. The centralization of video and audio controls from the projector helps in educational applications by ensuring the technical quality of the presentation and eliminating the fuss of separate outside audio controls.
