RACK VENITLATOR Active Thermal Management’s (ATM) Cool-Line linear ventilation products were built in response to the need for cooling products to fit into ever-narrowing electronic spaces, such as above or below flat-panel displays. CoolLine sets are available in metal and various species of unfinished wood. There are also matching grilles, without fans, available in metal and wood to further trim the intake openings. Cool-Line products measure 4 inches or less in width; lengths vary with models from the 15-inch (single fan) Cool-Line I to the 30-inch (twin fan). Retail pricing for Cool-Line products ranges from $330 to $595, depending on size and grille material. Visit www.activethermal.com. LCD PROJECTORS Casio America released of four new Super Slim projector models featuring DLP projection technology. These new additions to the Super Slim line feature enhanced brightness and RS-232 connectivity, while still incorporating a thin body design — only 1.69-inches high. The XJ-S32, XJS37, XJ-S42, and XJ-S47 models are part of Casio’s Ultra Bright Series designed for high brightness applications and mobile presenters. Casio has achieved 2,300-2,700 ANSI lumens output. This brightness improvement and versatile 2x power zoom lens allows the Super Slim projectors to be used in a boardroom, conference, or classroom where brightness is an important feature. Planned pricing will start from $899 to $1,199 MSRP. Visit www.casio.com. HDMI TRANSMITTER-RECEIVER Altinex has introduced the DR446-103 HDMI video over 5-coax transmitter/receiver. The Altinex DR446-103 is designed to be a digital bridge between legacy coaxial systems and newer HDMI systems. Now, users can upgrade, for example, their existing DVD players to Blu-Ray systems and transmit those output signals over coaxial cable to an upgraded display on the receiving end. The new DR446-103 consists of two devices — a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter converts HDMI to 5-coax cables and the receiver converts the 5-coax signals back to HDMI. The transmitter/receiver combination enables HDMI transmission lengths of 300 feet (91 m) using high-quality coaxial cable. The DR446-103 carries a MSRP of $395. It is available now.
