InFocus Unveils First Wireless Meeting Room Projectors
Wireless Capabilities, Network Software Ushers in New Era of Convenience
AUCKLAND, New Zealand - September 29th, 2003 - InFocus introduces a new breed of installation-ready projectors that
enable an era of wireless projection, convenience and collaboration. InFocus® Corporation (Nasdaq: INFS) (OSE: IFC), the
worldwide leader in digital projection technology and services, will unveil a new family of meeting room and
installation projectors, that are powerful, flexible, easy to use and leverage InFocus' most recent advances in wireless
technology. The LP820 is the first in a strategic rollout of an entire family of installation and integration projectors
that will be introduced and made available throughout the rest of this year.
The LP820 marks the first new meeting room projector to support InFocus LiteShow®, the secure wireless digital
projection solution announced earlier this month. In addition to supporting new projectors, LiteShow will also work with
any legacy projector with an M1-DA connector. In a wireless environment, the LP820 can create a collaborative atmosphere
where users can securely project their ideas from anywhere in the room on a shared projector. The LP820 also includes an
innovative, interactive, smart display panel that guides the user through the set-up process and leads to smooth
glitch-free presentations. The panel is available in 12 languages.
At 5.9 kilograms and featuring 3,000 lumens, the LP820 exudes flexibility and ease of use in the form of three optional
lenses to accommodate all room sizes. User-replaceable bayonet lenses can be changed without tools-just push and twist.
In addition, the LP820 supports ProjectorManager, the free software application from InFocus that gives users complete
control of the projector from their laptop, turning any PC into an advanced projector remote control. Now users can
remotely adjust projector settings from their laptop, switch sources, even access features not available from the
projector's onboard menu system, including power management controls and presentation collaboration tools.
Later this year, InFocus will introduce the LP840, which is a powerful 6.8 kilogram projector that features power zoom,
focus and lens shift. The LP840 will also be compatible with InFocus LiteShow, enabling a wireless installation
solution.
"InFocus customers expect a projection system to fit the needs of their specific meeting room with flexibility and
compatibility with any source and almost any resolution," said Brent Reed, InFocus Corporation, Country Manager,
Australia and New Zealand. "The LP820 is the ultimate in customer experience for projector users and speaks to what our
customers are telling us are absolutely essential to their success."
The LP820 is also compatible with ProjectorNet out of the box. ProjectorNet is InFocus' client/server-based networking
solution designed to allow IT and facilities personnel to manage multiple projectors from a single PC. ProjectorNet
gives corporations, universities and other organizations the power to manage and improve their projector ROI just as
they would other shared computing and communication assets such as PCs and printers by minimising theft, maximising
usage time and improving proactive maintenance. ProjectorNet is ideally suited for sites with multiple installed
projectors distributed across various rooms, floors or buildings - sites such as corporate office parks, government
facilities and universities.
Availability
The InFocus LP820 will be available in New Zealand in October at a recommended retail price of $12,999. For more
