The Hitachi CP-X450 projector provides users with a lower total cost of ownership by offering easier and less frequent maintenance. For example, the CP-X450 filter is located on the side, with the lamp door on top, meaning less time spent on replacement when the projector is ceiling mounted. Additionally, the hybrid filter does not need to be replaced for 2,000

hours.

The CP-X450 offers unparalleled ease of use with features such as Hitachi "My Button", which allows two user-programmable buttons to be set with any command from the select menu. A 7W audio output eliminates the need to connect external speakers, while the projector's low 29dB of noise in whisper mode ensures clear and effective communication.

Addressing the demand for advanced security in all applications, the CP-X450 features a transition detector, which requires a password to operate the projector when it is moved from a fixed position. The CP-X450 also offers PIN lock and MyScreen lock functions, as well as a security bar that enables the use of a heavy chain to prevent theft.

The CP-X450 also offers input source naming, allowing users to customize the names of their input sources instead of using the default name. Automatic vertical keystone detects the angle of the projector and corrects the image, saving time when setting up the projector. Additionally, the CP-X450's whiteboard mode provides adequate clarity while limiting brightness for use with whiteboards. Day time mode allows users to clearly see the images in a bright environment, while blackboard mode offers better color balance when displaying an image on a colored background.

The CP-X450 ensures high performance with features including motion adaptive progressive scan, which produces less line flicker, higher resolution and smoother motion video.

The CP-X450's 2-3 pull-down feature allows for precise and crisp reproduction of movie film.

Nothing is as powerful and emotional as film.

It's the very reason why Pioneer has put more than ten years of design, research and development into building KURO: a flat screen television that will let you see and hear film like never before.

The goal was straightforward: to build a screen that delivered the absolute best picture quality in the world. A screen that was true to how filmmakers intended their work to be seen. The result is KURO.

'KURO' means black in Japanese; this is relevant because KURO screens have significantly deeper black levels than any other flat-screen TV on the market, some 80% deeper.

The deepest black levels produce the purest colors, which reveal the sharpest details. This is KURO.

The KURO screen gives you the ability to see literally every shade between black and white. Now, the film you see - and feel - on-screen is unparalleled in range and detail, the ultimate appearance of vivid and flawless color.

The impact of what you see on KURO is unlike anything you have possibly seen before.

The perfect solution to your video surveillance challenges

The AXIS 262+ Network Video Recorder, together with Axis network cameras, offers a comprehensive surveillance solution for detecting shoplifters, reducing false alarms, increasing personnel safety or viewing your premises remotely. It is ideal for monitoring small shops, gas stations, hotels and small offices.

Complete network recording solution

Easy to install and use, the AXIS 262+ is a complete recording solution that connects directly to your network and is manageable remotely via a local area network or the Internet. It enables simultaneous recording and remote access to live views and playback of recorded images from up to 8 Axis network cameras. Scheduled and triggered recordings can be performed at a recording speed of up to 240 frames per second in QVGA (320x240 pixels) and CIF (352x240 in NTSC, 352x288 in PAL).

Hard disk storage

The 250 GB hard disk allows you to store, for instance, 13 days of VGA resolution at one frame per second from 8 video channels with no degradation in image quality compared to the original image from the camera. The recorded data can be extracted from the AXIS 262+ to a file on a local PC.

With an ultra-high approx. 11x zoom range covering everything from wide-angle to super-telephoto, Canon's latest professional series 'white lens' is designed for professional photographers looking to limit lens changes and overall kit weight. With Image Stabilization (IS) and high speed, silent auto focus, this superbly specified lens delivers what others can only imagine.

Canon's renowned IS technology compensates for approximately three stops with no perceptible increase in image blur. This vastly increases the range of circumstances in which hand-held photography is possible, limiting the need to carry a tripod. Major movement in a specific direction is detected as conscious panning and correction is halted in the relevant direction, thereby preventing shake-return.

The ultrasonic motor (USM) converts ultrasonic vibration energy into rotational force to deliver high-speed, high-precision, super efficient and virtually noiseless auto focusing, with good holding torque for rapid response, accurate stopping. The lens has full-time manual override. The 0.7m minimum focusing distance throughout the entire zoom range also makes it ideal for close-up magnifications.

Lens shape and coatings have been optimized to suppress ghosting and flaring, making the lens ideal for use with digital cameras that can be susceptible to reflections off the recording sensor. When fitted to digital cameras with an APS-C size sensor such as the EOS 10D, the lens has an equivalent focal length range of 45-480mm.

Beautiful contrast, low distortion and high corner-to-corner resolution is evident throughout the zoom range. An EMD (electromagnetic diaphragm) controls aperture for fast, quiet, highly precise control. A circular aperture diaphragm affords pleasing background blur, from full aperture to two stops down.

The EF 28-300mm features a rugged dust-proof and drip-proof construction, designed for professionals working under a wide range of harsh conditions.

The drive pattern is tailored to match the latest EOS range, extracting maximum benefit from the lens' speed advantage. Distance information offers higher precision focus-linked E-TTL II flash photography metering.
