Benefits include: the ability to power-up the projector from a central location, saving time and adding professionalism: automated device scheduling, to save money and lower power consumption; the option to receive critical alerts, via email, to replace lamps or carry out maintenance tasks proactively; and the capability to send presentations to multiple projectors simultaneously ideal for centralised broadcasts. n BrilliantColor and VIDI technology ViewSonic's DLP (digital light processing) projectors use BrilliantColor technology: a six segment colour wheel that allows up to five primary colours. The result is enhanced colour depth and improved brightness which in turn means a better presentation experience especially for high detail slides and video. VIDI, from Philips and Texas Instruments, allows for multiple settings with one colour wheel. (This allows brightness to be boosted in video mode but colour fidelity to be favoured in data mode). n Direct on/off In a busy classroom nobody wants to be waiting around while a projector 'boots' or takes several minutes to cool down before it can be left or stored. Direct on/off means instant on and instant off which saves time and improves efficiency. n Silent running Noisy projectors distract teachers and students. ViewSonic's DLP-based education projectors are designed to be quiet. They use efficient moving parts and fluent air-flow (which means lower fan speeds). High elasticity rubber avoids resonance with the table from the spinning colour wheel. The colour wheels themselves have also been improved for balance, noise absorption and less vibration. With these measures in place, ViewSonic projectors have a noise rating as low as 27dB which in relative terms is in-between whispering and the sound of a quiet library.

Education projectors: the state of the art The ViewSonic projection range features all of the current technologies that are right at the cutting edge of projection technology, and which have been proved to have a positive effect on learning outcomes: n Short-throw Education buyers have been quick to identify the advantages of short-throw projection which allows close proximity of projector to screen which in turn means that the audience sit behind the projector not in front of it. Short throw is very appealing as it facilitates really good projection in all room types. n 3D No longer a novelty, 3D presents some great opportunities for teaching, especially now that an increasing amount of 3D content is available. ViewSonic offers a number of projectors with 3D capabilities so this is no longer a future technology - it's here today. n Interactive If you want interactive whiteboard functionality without the price and complexity of an interactive whiteboard, ViewSonic's interactive pen provides a cost-effective alternative. It recognises the exact location of the pixel that you are pointing at and sends that to your PC via the projector. 4
