Sony SRX-T Series


Sony has introduced the next generation of SXRD 4K projectors: the SRXT110 and SRX-T105, which are advanced projectors designed to meet the evolving needs for ultimate picture quality. The SRX-T110 and SRX-T105 are equipped with three Silicon X-tal Reflective Display devices and deliver a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels — more than four times the resolution of consumer HDTV. This high-resolution capability allows 2K images to be displayed simultaneously in four quadrants or in a twin side-by-side display. The projectors also offer a contrast ratio of 2500:1. In addition, the SRX-T110 provides a high brightness of 11,000 lumens, while the SRX-T105 offers a brightness of 5500 lumens.

TV One 1T-TG- 620 HDMI Test Generator
The TV One-task 1T-TG-620 HDMI test generator provides a means to verify the correct operation of both audio and video when working with HD or PC displays. Any device using HDMI, PC, or DVI-D inputs may be tested using several different types of signals. The PC and DVI-D connections will require an adaptor. Provision has been made to embed either a 1 kHz internally generated audio sinewave or an externally generated audio signal into the digital bitstream so that the integrity of the audio portion of the HDMI signal can be verified.

Optoma Technology has introduced the Optoma EX525ST multimedia projector. The EX525ST can project a high-resolution image as large as 100-inch diagonally at a distance of 4 feet from the wall, making it ideal for situations where a traditional projector cannot be used or space is limited. To shorten the projection distance of the EX525ST, Optoma developed an entirely new optical projection system. The optical system incorporates a new short throw lens with aspherical lens elements that provide a throw ratio of 0.6:1, enabling the projector to produce large images when positioned very close to a wall or screen.

Sirius Scenario Management
Orion Software has announced their latest innovation for Sirius Pro — the Scenario Management Module.

This increases efficiency by passing through a complete questionnaire linked to the specific end usage requirements. Users can create as many scenarios as they desire based on venue locations, type of usage, budget, or any factors that influence the sales process.
