Hall Research
Hall Research Introduces Digital and Analog Video Glue Products

Are you ready to make the digital transition? In the last 12 months we have introduced several dedicated Analog-Digital scalers for converting between different popular video formats. Here's what's new:

SC-VHD-HDMI
VGA / YPbPr to HDMI Converter with Audio

The SC-VHD-HDMI converts and scales analog Component (YPbPr) or PC VGA (RGBHV) video with audio into an HDMI or DVI output at user specified resolution. Audio is embedded in the HDMI stream as well as available on separate analog and digital outputs.

Perfect for connecting notebook PC's VGA and 3.5mm audio output through a single HDMI cable to an HDTV, the SC-VHD-HDMI offers a wide range of output resolutions including 1080p. The output can be set to automatically match the native resolution of display the unit is connected to. Input video format (RGBHV vs. YPbPr) and resolution are automatically detected providing a simple Plug-n-Play solution.

SANYO
SANYO Projectors Benefit the Classroom and Lecture Hall with Innovative New Products

SANYO is launching a new initiative to benefit education by developing products whose focus is on innovation for the current and future needs of the educational environment. Taking a leadership position in the education market, SANYO seeks to grow their market share with a range of solutions that include projectors with 3D capabilities and the ability to operate at short throw distances, several technologies that both promote longer product life and reduce maintenance costs, specialized audio projector mounts suitable for the classroom, and additional cost-effective educational tools.

Ultra Short Throw Projectors and Unique Mounting Solutions
Among SANYO's new products are two ultra short-focus projectors with 3D capability, housed in very compact chassis about half the size of conventional short-focus projectors. The PDG-DWL2500 has WXGA resolution (1280x800; 16:10 aspect ratio) with 2,500 lumens of brightness, and the PDG-DXL2000 has XGA resolution (1024x768; 4:3 aspect ratio), producing 2,000 lumens. Both projectors can operate at a very short distance from the display screen or wall surface. The PDG-DWL2500 is able to create an 80-inch image with the projector only 12.6 inches from the screen, and the PDG-DXL2000 requires only a 15.1-inch distance for an 80-inch image. Fully enabled for large screen display of 3D material, both projectors use the Frame Sequential Display Format to display 3D, which works in conjunction with Active Shutter 3D glasses to rapidly alternate display between the right and left eyes.

The unique requirements for projector mounting in the classroom are addressed in SANYO's MT-EDU101 and MT-EDU102 audio mounts. These mounts can be used with any short-throw projector and incorporate an integral audio system with a 50-watt amplifier and two powerful 25-watt two-way speakers. Between the two models, users have the ability to place projectors as close as 7 inches from the wall, up to a distance of 67 inches.
