avassets new products PROJECTORS PLUS Vision is launching its new PS200 and PV100 series of projectors. Both TAXAN series feature Texas Instruments’ new DLP BrilliantColor technology. Both the PS200 and PV100 series offer a wide choice of software-based color modes through variable illumination. By adjusting the illumination on different segments of the projector’s color wheel, users can achieve the optimal balance between color and brightness to suit a particular purpose, including optimizing modes for presentations and movies. Both the PS200 and PV100 operate at maximum brightness of 3,000 lumens, which can adjust downward for power-saving “eco mode.” U.S. prices on the TAXAN PS200 Series are $1,595 for the KG-PS232X and $1,795 for the KG-PS232Xh; for the TAXAN PV100 Series, prices are $1,595 for the KG-PV131Xh30 and $1,195 for the KGPV121Xh25.

SOUNDFIELD AMPLIFICATION Extron Electronics introduces the VoiceLift Microphone, an infrared wireless microphone system that integrates seamlessly into new or existing Extron PoleVault installations, as well as complete VoiceLift systems. The VoiceLift Microphone enables the creation of a soundfield that allows a teacher’s voice to be heard clearly throughout the classroom. The VoiceLift series of products includes a wireless pendant microphone and a ceiling- or wall-mounted receiver, as well as an optional second microphone and dual mic charging station. Each microphone is powered by an included rechargeable 2500 mAh NiMH AA battery that lasts more than eight hours. Alternatively, a standard AA Alkaline battery may be used. Visit www.extron.com. PC TO TV CONVERTER StrandVision is introducing a fully digital, high-definition (HD) personal computer-totelevision adapter for use with its digital signage offering and for many other applications. Called PC-2-TV.net, the HD solution includes an adapter (PCA) at the personal computer that is paired with a receiving adapter (TVA) at the television monitor. The adapters digitally connect all common peripherals via a single Cat-5 or Cat-6 network cable, either directly or through standard networking appliances such as gateways, routers, and fiber optic networks. PC-2-TV.net simplifies wiring for corporate digital signage networks, enabling users to easily and inexpensively extend digital signage content to multiple displays — normally using existing wiring. U.S. list price is $249.99 directly from StrandVision through www.pc-2-tv.net. Visit www.strandvision.com. DISPLAY MOUNTS Chief’s new Fusion low-profile, universal mounting system is available in fixed or tilt models. The new series was engineered to solve the most common installations problems for the professional installer and free up valuable time. Common installation problems can range from stud location or perfect placement to leveling the entire installation. The new Fusion design includes features such as centerless lateral shift, which allows perfect centering of a flat panel TV, offering up to 16 inches of post-installation adjustment (8 inches left or right of uprights), to offset the mount from studs. U.S. list prices ranges from $119 to $419.
