Acer says the K750 is the world's first 1080p projector equipped with a hybrid laser-LED light technology.

The K750 projector uses both LED and laser light sources that are free of hazardous substances like mercury or halogen gases – yet they significantly improve color brightness when compared to high-pressure mercury lamps. This technology also increases the light-source lifetime to 20,000 hours in Extreme ECO mode and enables, says Acer, as much as 90% power savings (helping to reduce TCO and probably making the K750 one of the most environmental friendly projectors).

With a brightness of up to 1500 lumens and a contrast ratio up to 100,000:1, this hybrid light-source technology enables flexible color settings and a wider color gamut to deliver color saturation up to 85% NTSC and offers color fidelity through a system of three independent color lighting sources.

In order to empower usability, the K750 features instant on/off capability, which means no cool-down period is needed after turning the projector off.

Dubbed Mystik!, Stewart's latest screen material is actually a self-adhesive projection material designed for use in digital signage applications.

Mystik! is ideal as a storefront application, as well as for other retail and public venues when a two-piece projection solution is desired. It can also be applied to any window or glass door to transform the surface into an opaque projection screen, enabling privacy while also creating a fun home entertainment space.

The Mystik! material is available in roll form, up to 78" wide and 50' long for trimming on-site.

Datavideo's new VP-633 and VP-634 HD-SDI repeaters and cable extenders make copper cable a cost effective solution for sending HD-SDI signals at least 600 meters.

Here's how it works: HD-SDI is not a bi-directional format the same way that Firewire is, so you can put the first and only powered repeater close to the recorder or switcher.

This is the only one that requires a 12VDC power supply. Every 100 meters from that first repeater, they add another repeater until the video source is 100 meters or less from the last repeater.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) had a special treat for its fans during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. For 10 intense days, the Jubilee Hall gym, located in the heart of Covent Garden, became the NBA House.

Over 53,000 fans visited the NBA House in person and millions of supporters followed it online. The unique brand experience, created by Ignite-London, gave guests the chance to meet their basketball idols; try their hand at basketball and other interactive games; and talk to other fans and stars using Cisco Telepresence. It also included a shop, a Playstation Vita area and a VIP area.

But the NBA House also harnessed the power of social media, thanks to an interactive social media wall developed by Touchez.

Darrell McLennan-Fordyce, senior director of marketing communications EMEA says: “We embrace new media all the time. Communicating with our fans is essential for us and social media gives us the right platform to do so.

“The NBA was founded back in 1946 in North America. Now with fans all over the world we are always looking for new ways to connect. Currently we have over 5 million followers on Twitter. Touchez’s social media video wall allows us to showcase how big our conversation is.”

Sony unveils the second installment of high end projectors in its VPL-D100 range. Designed specifically to cater for the SMB and corporate markets, the VPL-DW125, VPL- DX145, VPL-DX125 and VPL-DW120 complement Sony’s existing range launched in July, alongside its VPL-E200 series.

Each projector encompasses Sony’s eco and user-friendly features, including an auto lamp dimming function, Auto Brightness Adjustment Function, Eco Mode and a new fine-tuned cooling system to reduce clouding of the bulb, which has extended the lamp life to approximately 7000 hours (depending on the lamp mode selected).

They also come standard with 1X RGB, 1X HDMI and Video, a 12-bit 3D digital gamma correction for images, meaning less noise and smoother gradation.

They’re calling it “the world’s largest multi-touch interactive wall.” Built from 24 of the 55” MultiTouch MultiTaction Cells, the wall serves as the heart of a unique communications facility at a global corporation in London who provides advice on business advancement.

The multi-touch wall is the feature of an innovative build and at a whopping 9.9m x 2.1m – 3m high including the base – the sheer scale accomplishes the mission set by this City of London-based client. They commissioned an “Executive Brand Suite” that would enable communications through an array of state-of-the-art equipment, and showcase the rapid speed at which the consumer is changing as a result of the lightning-fast rate of technological development. The wall is a perfect symbol of that change as well as a vehicle to communicate the change.

The Executive Brand Suite facility was the brainchild of Engage Production Ltd, a MultiTaction reseller, developer and integrating partner.

For the first time in Europe, Sharp showed prototypes of its newly developed oxide semiconductor technology, known as IGZO. At IFA Berlin, Sharp showed how IGZO technology will enable even higher resolutions, lower power consumption, and higher performance touch screens, as well as narrower bezel widths for LCD display panels used in mobile devices such as smartphones.

This jointly developed new IGZO technology is an oxide semiconductor with a cocktail of indium (In), gallium (Ga) and zinc (Zn). Each pixel in an LCD screen is controlled by its own transistor and IGZO creates several favorable characteristics over the amorphous silicon used in today's LCD panels.

One prototype 6.1” screen on show at IFA squeezed in 2560 pixels by 1600 pixels, or 498 pixels per inch. Or 50% increase on the 326ppi screen used in Apple's iPhone 4S and roughly double that of the new iPad. The difference is clearly visible so it’s time to buy Sharp stock again.
