Hitachi America's new CP-AW250N Ultimate Short Throw projector features a throw distance of 22 inches at an 80-inch screen when displaying content in its native WXGA resolution and also features networking functionality, which makes monitoring and maintenance easier. The CP-AW250N offers 2,500 ANSI lumens of output, weighs 8.5 pounds and also achieves a contrast ratio of 2000:1.
Hitachi's new free-shaped lens and mirror promise to improve throw ratio, trim weight and size and improve resolution quality. The shorter throw distance and lighter weight allow for easier installations in limited space and more flexible wall mounting.
The CP-AW250N also offers Perfect Fit technology, which simplifies installations by allowing for correction of all four corners and four sides of the image, eliminating problems such as barrel or pincushion distortion. The CP-AW250N is also available with an optional 6-axis wall mount.
The CP-AW250N's 4,000-hour hybrid filter requires less frequent cleaning and makes longer operation possible. The lamp door is on top while the air filter cover slides towards the top, simplifying maintenance and replacement of these parts.
The CP-AW250N's wired networking allows for simultaneous control and monitoring of multiple projectors as well as image translation. In addition, Hitachi's Messenger function enables users to transmit text data to multiple projectors on the network.
The projector is equipped with a microphone input, which in conjunction with a built-in 10 watt speaker, eliminates the need for external audio equipment.
The CP-AW250N also includes new USB connectivity, giving users the ability to easily and quickly deliver content from a PC via a USB cable, as well as HDMI connectivity. An optional wall mounting arm is also available.
