SANYO is now offering two new LCD portable projectors, the PLC-XC55 (3,100 lumens) and the PLC-XC50 (2,600 lumens). Both are equipped with SANYO’s Active Maintenance Filter (AMF) system, allowing easy filter changes, and several security features to prevent theft.
This is the first time SANYO’s exclusive AMF system has been integrated into a portable projector. This unique filtration system consists of a filter cartridge with 10 lengths of filter material and an airflow sensor that detects when the airflow is obstructed by dust and advances a clean section of filter as needed. When the last section of filter material becomes obstructed an onscreen graphic appears telling the user to change the cartridge. Each filter lasts approximately 3,000 hours.
"Thanks to SANYO's AMF these new high brightness projectors significantly lower a school system’s cost of ownership by reducing filter maintenance costs by a factor of ten, “says Mark Holt, Vice President and General Manager for SANYO’s Presentation Technologies Division.
General maintenance is kept at a minimum with other features such as the transparent lens cap that prevents the accumulation of dust on the lens and the ability to replace the lamp from the top cabinet, which doesn't require removal from permanent installations.
The PLC-XC55 and PLC-XC50 will be available in July 2008 and sell for $1,995 and $1,495 respectively.
