The Sanyo PLC-XP18n easily connects to an array of computers and AV sources, including laptop PCs, Macintosh and PowerBook systems, VCRs, camcorders, DVD and laser disc players, and satellite and HDTV tuners. Having assorted multimedia capabilities allows presenters to use materials prepared in different media, adding excitement and versatility to any presentation.
Offering plug-and-play convenience, the PLC-XP18N automatically recognizes the signal coming from the computer and selects the proper settings. There is no complicated setup, so it's easy to get perfect results every time.
Digital Keystone Correction
With the press of a button, the new digital keystone correction feature compensates for angled projector placement. By digitally and mathematically interpolating an image's pixels, then reconstructing the image, keystoned (trapezoidal) images are corrected on screen.
Digital Zoom
The unit's handy 16x digital zoom feature magnifies specific sections of an image, making presentations bigger and clearer than ever. Unique technology eliminates jagged edges on small letters and lines so that even highly magnified images appear crisp and clear.
Digital Realized InterpolationTechnology (DRIT)
This revolutionary, proprietary technology digitally and mathematically interpolates an image's pixels, then reconstructs the image by either compressing or expanding it. The principal result of DRIT is the elegant compression of a higher resolution rate or the visually accurate expansion of a lower resolution rate to match the native resolution of the projector.
Polarized Beam Splitter (PBS) Optical System
This cutting-edge technology helps assure a high uniformity rate and a beam twice as bright as conventional projectors. It combines all of the S-wave light emitted from the unit's lamp with the P-wave light. The result is a super-bright image with nearly the same brightness from side-to-side and top-to-bottom.
Optional Lenses
While the standard lens that comes with the PLC-XP18n gives plenty of flexibility for a wide variety of applications (from small meeting rooms to large conference halls), optional wide-zoom and long zoom lenses are also available to provide even greater flexibility.
- Standard: 1.8-2.34:1
- LNS-W30KS: 1.3–1.8:1
- LNS-T30KS: 2.4–4.25:1
Digital Progressive Scanning
Digital progressive scanning doubles the video information being sent to the projector, substantially increasing video-image detail and resolution. Interlaced signals (such as video) are processed by the dedicated 16MB Progressive Scan Memory chip and each pixel is monitored using SANYO’s original motion detecton algoritm to ensure increased vertical resolution and crisper moving images.
Digital Realized Video Scaling
Advanced digital signal processing circuit and automatic color correction circuit ensure the highest color accuracy possible and dramatically enhance image-edge detail. Hybrid Enhanced Processing Technology circuit provides analog enhancement for richer colors and digital enhancement for increased definition.
