Hitachi CP-A301N, CP-AW251N, CP-A221N
Hitachi’s CP-A301N, CP-AW251N and CP-A221N can project an 80-inch image at just nine inches from the front of the projector. The CP-A301N, CP-AW251N and CP-A221N all combine compact size and light-weight (8.6 lbs) with total ease of use. Their ultra-shortthrow lens design enables them to be mounted close to a projection screen or whiteboard, which prevents obstructed images and shadows and avoids light shining in the presenters’ eyes. Adding to their value, the new projectors offer extended 5,000-hour lamp life (in Eco mode). All three models can also be used with an optional tabletop stand that enables images to be projected directly onto a tabletop. The projectors’ Perfect Fit 2 image adjustment system corrects for any geometric image distortion and precisely fits the images to the screen or tabletop. All three projectors feature network connectivity. All include an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for connection to a local area network (LAN). Hitachi’s PJMessenger function allows text messages and audio alerts to be sent on all networked projectors, an effective way to send announcements throughout an entire campus or facility.
