Munich, August 26, 2009 ---- SANYO is creating a new flair in the Business & Education sector with the PLC-XU106 from its range of projectors. With 4500 ANSI lumens and weighing only 3.4 kg, the PLC-XU106 is the worldwide representative of mobile projectors under four kilograms with the greatest light intensity. Therefore, it is especially well suited for use in conference rooms, schools, and universities as well as in all situations where a very high light intensity is required with frequent changes of location. The new “Corner Keystone Correction” as well as the “Easy Setup Function” simplifies the quick setup of the projector as well as symmetric projection of pictures, even under difficult conditions.
The ultraportable LCD projector is the first unit from SANYO that is equipped with the new "Corner Keystone Correction". This makes it possible to have projections from an angle without distorting the image. The correction can be made using the remote control or directly on the unit. In contrast to traditional keystone corrections, this involves not only a vertical correction, but a horizontal correction of the picture as well. The “Easy Setup Function” helps inexperienced users to setup the projector by performing an automatic keystone correction, detecting the input source itself, and making the appropriate settings or giving setting instructions on the projection space.
With a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and a maximum of 1600 x 1200 pixels (U-XGA), the inorganic LCD panel of the PLC-XU106 ensures absolutely sharp and realistic pictures. A wide-angle lens with a 1.6x optical zoom and a projection ratio of 1.15-1.85:1 ensures perfect rendition from short distances. In addition, the unit has a blackboard mode, which means it can adapt optimally to different coloured projection surfaces.
The PLC-XU106 can be used in a great variety of ways thanks to the extensive connection options and an RJ45 port. For example, it can be integrated into a network via LAN or WLAN and supports all popular operating systems. With the direct power on/off function, the user can connect the projector and start the presentation in just seconds. This saves time without having an adverse effect on the service life of the lamp. The PIN code and key-lock function protect against theft or unauthorised use. In addition, a carrying bag and remote control come with the unit.

The recommended retail price for the PLC-XU106 is Euro 1860 plus VAT.
