Da-Lite Silver Lite 2.5 Screen Surface
Da-Lite’s Silver Lite 2.5 is a multipurpose front projection surface that is optimized for passive linear and circular 3D applications, but it is appropriate for 2D screen material, as well. For passive 3D applications, the silver surface maintains 99.3-percent of polarized light and the 2.5 gain of the material compensates for the light lost in the polarization filtering process. The polarization retention and high extinction ratio eliminate the ghosting or crosstalk common with stereoscopic 3D projection. For 2D projection, the gain and high contrast characteristics of the material make it perfect for projection in high ambient light conditions or for use with a low output projector. Silver Lite 2.5 is a washable surface and has a 25-degree viewing half angle.

Both CH AT speakerphones were created for VoIP applications using PCs or Unified Communications software. They feature raised, pushbutton controls for speaker volume, mute, and call hook, and they include a blue LE D, which lights when a call is in progress. Just slightly larger than a typical computer mouse, the CH AT 70-U and CH AT 60-U incorporate ClearOne’s HDConference technologies, which provide acoustic echo cancellation, noise cancellation, and automatic audio level control.
Oxygen DCT GlueBox Mio Series
Oxygen DCT ’s GlueBox Mio is a range of stand-alone compact interfaces, converters, and distribution products that are ideally suited to budget conscious customers that don’t want to compromise on quality. GlueBox Mio consists of 14 boxes for analogue video and audio through to 1080p HD-SDI, DVI, and HDMI. These boxes are selfcontained, stand-alone units that can be powered from either a 6-volt DC or 12-volt DC camera battery, or used with the AC to DC power unit supplied with each box. Within the range, there is a handy HDMI extender system that allows HDMI signals to be sent over 100 meters on a single cable. This extender overcomes the problems and limitation of connecting equipment within just five meters over standard HDMI cable. The HD-SDI to HDMI and HDMI to HD-SDI converters work with 3G (1080P), HD-SDI, and SD-0SDI signals and have integrated features such as audio inputs or outputs, as well as in vision meters.
