EIKI Announces New Models for April.
EIKI Exhibit, Booth
1F46, RAI Center, Integrated Systems - Europe: February 2,
2010:
Kiyoharu Kawabata, President and CEO, Eiki Industrial Co.
Ltd. of Osaka, Japan today announced that Short Throw and 3D Projectors
will be added to the EIKI line early in Q2. Pre-production versions of
both models were unveiled today in the EIKI exhibit at IS-E in Amsterdam.
 Short Throw
Projection has application both with interactive teaching systems and in
non-interactive environments.” said Kawabata. “The latest optical
technology permits the manufacture of relatively low-cost short throw
projectors, and these are ideal for classroom use.”
The new
EIKI EIP-XSP2500 Short Throw Projector features a 0.615:1
Throw:Width ratio lens. This model is built-on a 0.55” 1-chip DLP® XGA
resolution imaging engine with a 6-segment BrilliantColor™ color wheel,
and delivers 2500 ANSI Lumens brightness, with a 1600:1 contrast ratio,
and weighs 3.0 kg (6.6 lb).
 “3D Projection
promises to bring a new level of realism to all kinds of presentation
applications.” said Kawabata. “It goes far beyond dramatic effect. 3D can
help the audience perceive and comprehend dimension and relative
proximity, which is important for science and technology.”
The new
EIKI EIP-D450 3D Projector incorporates DLP 3D Ready
technology for use with 3D LCD shutter glasses utilizing the DLP® Link™
system. This model is built-on a 0.7” 1-chip DLP® XGA resolution imaging
engine with a 5-segment BrilliantColor™ color wheel, and delivers 4,500
ANSI Lumens brightness, with a 2500:1 contrast ratio, and weighs only 5.8
kg (12.8 lb).
“These new models should be available through our
global distribution network early this Spring. said Kawabata. “We work
with some of the finest ProAV Distributors and Dealers in the world, he
continued, “and I’m pleased to meet with so many of them at IS-E this
year.”
EIKI also launched a campaign to “help make the world a
little greener” at IS-E this year. At the direction of its Co-Founder and
Chairman, Koji Sekino, EIKI joined the UNEP “Plant a Billion” campaign and
will plant a tree in an equatorial country for every projector sold.
