The new projectors from InFocus have a strong emphasis on wireless connectivity. Their “LightCast” name means the device can support Miracast, Airplay and Chrome wireless content sharing. It is implemented in a USB dongle inserted into the projector.
“InFocus is the only company providing customers with easy ways to connect wirelessly, from any device, and share content. With LightCast, we’ve added wireless technology to our projectors that’s compatible with content from any device, making collaboration possible with every presentation,” said David Duncan, InFocus director of projection product management.
One of the new projector lines that include the LightCast capability is line of IN2120x network lamp-based DLP projectors. They offer up to 4,200 lumen images, 1080p resolution, 3D capability and flexible connectivity options including HDMI and VGA, plus connection to internal networks and sync with Crestron or AMX systems. The IN2124x, IN2126x and IN2128HDx offer PC-free presentation with onboard storage and memory, while the IN2124LC, IN2126LC and IN2128HDLC add wireless device casting with LightCast technology.
The IN5148HD is InFocus’ new large-venue DLP projector with 1080p resolution and 5,000 lumens. With a flexible 1.49-3.02 throw ratio and 2:1 zoom lens, these projectors fit 90% of pre-existing applications with motorized lens shifting, focusing, and zooming. IN5148HDLC also comes with LightCast and is HDBaseT-certified. They are offered in XGA, WXGA and FHD resolutions.
For classroom applications, InFocus combines projection with audio in its new IN120x Series, which includes the IN124x, and IN126x, as well as previously announced IN128HDx, IN128HDSTx, with 1080p HD resolution. The low-cost IN120x projectors features 4000 lumens and a high 15,000:1 contrast ratio, as well as ‘room-filling’ sound.
Finally, InFocus has added LightCast technology to the recently released IN1110 ultra-mobile series of DLP projectors. The IN1116LC comes with built-in 4GB memory and a USB port so users can leave their laptop behind and present on-the-go, while the IN1118HDLC adds full high-definition resolution. These are affordable lamp-based models with an estimated street price of $1,000.
