Hitachi Releases Seven New Short Throw Projectors

Hitachi is known for their educational projectors. Recently, the company announced a new series of short throw projectors. Seven new models are being released for the UK and all of them feature the latest in 3LCD technology, a 400:1 contrast ratio, and 2000 ANSI lumens. These projectors are designed with short throw lenses that helps reduce shadows on the screen and it keeps the projector from shinning in the presenter’s eyes.

The first two models on the list are the CP-D10 and CP-DW10N. The only major difference between these two is that the D10 only features a native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution, while the DW10N features a widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution. The extra wide resolution is more compatible with today’s laptops and allows for the teacher to display their presentations with out needing to reformat them.

Next on the list is the CP-AW100N. This model uses Hitachi’s mirror system that uses a mirror to magnify the image, ultimately reducing the throw distance. This projector also features WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution and weighs only 10.4 lbs, which is just light enough for ceiling mounting.

The next two model are virtually identical, the ED-D10N and the ED-D11N. Both projectors feature XGA (1024 x 768) resolution and only weigh 8.2 lbs. The difference between the two is that the D10N features a classic white and black finish, while the D11N features a more noticeable orange and black chassis. This color allows the projector to be easily seen and also helps deter thieves from stealing the projector.

The last two projectors are the ED-AW100N and ED-AW110N. These projectors both feature the WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The difference between these two is the same between the last two projectors. The AW100N features a white chassis, while the AW110N features an orange chassis. Both projectors also come with an HDMI input, dual RGB connections, a composite, s-video, and several audio ports as well.
