Hitachi CP-A301N, CP-AW251N, CP-A221N
Hitachi’s CP-A301N, CP-AW251N and CP-A221N can project an
80-inch image at just nine inches from the front of the projector. The
CP-A301N, CP-AW251N and CP-A221N all combine compact size
and light-weight (8.6 lbs) with total ease of use. Their ultra-shortthrow
lens design enables them to be mounted close to a projection
screen or whiteboard, which prevents obstructed images and shadows
and avoids light shining in the presenters’ eyes. Adding to their value,
the new projectors offer extended 5,000-hour lamp life (in Eco mode).
All three models can also be used with an optional tabletop stand that
enables images to be projected directly onto a tabletop. The projectors’
Perfect Fit 2 image adjustment system corrects for any geometric
image distortion and precisely fits the images to the screen or tabletop.
All three projectors feature network connectivity. All include an RJ-45
Ethernet jack for connection to a local area network (LAN). Hitachi’s
PJMessenger function allows text messages and audio alerts to be sent
on all networked projectors, an effective way to send announcements
throughout an entire campus or facility.

of Cat-5e cable that can be used
for data drops in remote power
and audio applications.
Utah Scientific UTAH-100/UDS
Utah Scientific’s UTAH-100/UDS universal distribution system
combines the flexibility of a multirate digital routing switcher with the
economy of simple distribution amplifiers. This modular system is based
on I/O modules with 16 ports, interconnected by a crosspoint fabric
that allows any input signal to feed any number of output ports. The
economical design of the modules makes it possible for a 4-RU frame
to feed up to 144 output
ports at a fraction of
the cost and power
consumption of alternative
distribution-amplifier packages, with the added benefit of being able
to reassign input signals to each output as operational requirements
dictate.
