At InfoComm 2011, the Coolux demonstrated their AirScan System with a “gesture zone” well in front of 12 Samsung 460UT LCD screens. Visitors could control the screens with no contact required. At more than 4000 x 3000 true native pixels, the super HD output of the Big Pad V2 display was an attraction for attendees.

Vogel’s Professional offers a complete range of ceiling solutions for small (15”) to extra large (65”) displays.

Connect-it features modularity: with only a few standard components, you can create a ceiling solution for almost every situation. From basic, single display solutions to more complex, multiple display solutions, with the Connect-it modules you can create multiple display, back-to-back and floor-to-ceiling solutions in minutes.

Christie’s TVC-1211 video wall controller delivers flexibility in an easy-to-operate processor. Recommended for 24/7 applications requiring high quality performance to display multiple applications, videos, computer and networked inputs, it manages and displays large amounts of information across video walls (only a few display screens or many).

Christie MASTERSuite™ wall management software with WallManager and MediaManager programs enables tiled video wall displays to respond as a single, ultra-high res Windows desktop.

For InfoComm, Sanyo showcases its new PLC-HF10000L projector, the first 2K projector with the company’s QuaDrive technology; and the PLC-HF15000L professional projector.

The PLC-HF10000L QuaDrive projector has 2048 x 1080 resolution and this native widescreen 3LCD projector produces 10,000 ANSI lumen brightness with a very wide color gamut that advances display capability for mid to large venues.

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America used InfoComm to show its new EST (extreme short-throw) line. Unlike most projectors on the market, Mitsubishi’s WD380U-EST and XD380U-EST use high-quality, extreme short-throw lenses instead of mirrors.

This sleek product design makes installation easy and flexible while keeping the interior of the projector cleaner, resulting in less image degradation and less general wear and tear over the life of the unit.

“World's Only Fully Sealed Displays” is a big boast and we’re open to hearing from any other contenders. But you have to admit the video (filmed at the bottom of a swimming pool) is impressive.

Ciil Technologies at InfoComm showed its Xtreme and UltraView weatherproof flat panels.

Ciil’s patented Fully-Encapsulated Dynamic Thermal Transfer System keeps internal components safely warmed in extreme cold and properly cooled in extreme heat all without vents, filters or exhaust fans.

Christie unveiled at InfoComm a tech preview of the newest members of its Christie MicroTiles solutions family: the Christie i-Kit touch interactivity kit, powered by Baanto ShadowSense, and the Christie JumpStart software and media server.

The Christie i-Kit, a multi-touch interactivity kit suitable for large format displays, attaches to the perimeter of any large arrayed display up to 16 x 6, including Christie MicroTiles, allowing multiple users to interact simultaneously with a rectangular video wall with sufficient resolution and speed to support finger-based gestures.

On the eve of InfoComm, Pacific Media Associates (PMA) finds WW shipments of projectors somehow equipped for interactivity will grow from about 1.1 million in 2010 to about 2.9 million in 2015.

PMA expects the Mainstream projector range (500 to 4999 lumens) to grow from about 7 million units in 2010 to about 11.9 million units in 2015, a CAGR of 11%. The fastest growing vertical market for Mainstream models is education (which has seen rapid growth of interactive whiteboards and short-throw models, and has propelled the growth for Promethean and SMART Technologies.)
