Hitachi CP-AW250N Ultra-Short Throw LCD Projector

From the classroom to the store window, the Hitachi CP-AW250N Ultra-Short Throw LCD Projector is an ideal solution for anyone requiring high-image quality projection at short throw range. With the ability to project an 80" image from less than two feet away, the CP-AW250N is excellent for wall mounting situations due to high or false ceilings. It works well in tight store windows and for gaming or watching videos. It's also ideal for rear projection installations and for giving presentations, since you can stand in front of the room without blocking the image.

The picture quality of the CP-AW250N starts with 3LCD technology, which delivers true-to-life images. The resolution is 1280 x 800 and the contrast ratio is 2000:1. The CP-AW250N is also HD ready and HDMI compatible, ensuring the highest quality images will be transmitted and projected.

Features like Perfect Fit and Daytime Mode also improve picture quality. Perfect Fit uses an eight point adjustment scheme to correct geometric distortions caused by bumps in the screening area. It can manipulate all four corners and sides quickly to achieve a square and smooth image. Daytime Mode employs image quality correction technology to off-set the problems from bright light. The result is a crisp and well-defined image.

This line of Hitachi projectors has multiple options for connecting to an image source. HDMI offers the highest-quality pictures, video and sound. There are several other connection options for analog sources, computers and anything with USB connectivity; including PC-less presentations where a USB stick supplies the data. The CP-AW250N also has an Ethernet port for network connectivity.

The Advanced Networking through a LAN connection lets supervisors manage and control multiple projectors. Machines can be turned on or off, email alerts can be sent and all projectors can be monitored via the network. The AMX Device Discovery runs through the network as well. This feature automatically downloads pertinent communication modules and drivers to the projector. Presentations can even be given over a network of projectors from a single computer or you can take advantage of the Multi PC mode and use up to four computers in one presentation for more effective visual and data aids. The Messenger Function uses the network by sending and displaying text data to several projectors at once. This is handy for company-wide or campus-wide announcements. You can also collect reports from all projectors connected to the network onto one administrative PC.

While the CP-AW250N can handle many applications, it is not difficult to maintain. The eco-friendly hybrid filters and long-life lamps last for more than 4000 hours. That's ten times longer than conventional filters. Prolonged usage between replacement cycles reduces the overall cost of ownership. The CP-AW250N is also lightweight, which makes installation quick and easy. This network model is a perfect balance of technology and design. It ensures easy management and offers the highest quality images, all tied together in a compelling package.
