![Each projector features two new modes that enable the simultaneous presentation of two images. For
example, video material can be displayed next to an accompanying slide show, or live video conferencing
can be displayed alongside a video presentation. All four projectors use Wide XGA panels in 16:10
widescreen aspect ratio, with 1280 x 800 resolution, allowing for the display of significantly more
information than is possible with 4:3 XGA panels and 1024 x 768 resolution. The PLC-WM5500 [$5,645]
and PLC-WM4500L [$4,095] have scheduled availability of July 2010, the PLC-WM4500 [$4,545] August
2010 and the PLC-WM5500L [$4,995] is expected in June 2010.
"These wide format projectors set a new performance standard for brightness and resolution in their price
class, states Sam Malik, Vice President and General Manager of the Presentation Technologies Group in
SANYO North Americas Consumer Solutions Division. With their wide aspect ratio and new functions
like our Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes, they provide users with not only a larger display
palette, but the ability to simultaneously display in a more than one format. Further, their high brightness
levels mean they can be used a wide variety of ambient lighting conditions and environments, including
very large spaces.
Exceptional brightness of 5,500 ANSI lumens is achieved through a newly developed optical engine and
new cooling technologies. With optical efficiency 40% greater than conventional projectors, SANYOs New
Optical Engine uses inorganic liquid crystal panels, which are combined with new heat dissipation and
cooling technologies that minimize the effects of heat on the optical components - resulting in higher
reliability and durability. Maintenance costs are kept low through SANYOs Active Maintenance Filter
(AMF) system, which extends the replacement interval of its filter cartridge to 10,000 hours. Rather than
individual filters, each projector uses an AMF cartridge that contains a filter roll equivalent to 10 filters,
advancing automatically as needed without requiring user attention.
Each model provides an HDMI 1.3 input in addition to DVI-D, composite video, RGB D-sub 15, VIDEO/Y-
Pb/Cb- Pr/Cr (both BNC and RCA) and S-video inputs. A Power Vertical/Horizontal Lens Shift control
facilitates image alignment to the screen without moving the projector, and SANYOs Lens Centering
Design simplifies installation. The WM5500 and WM4500 models have remote controllable Power Zoom
and Focus, and the WM5500 models also have a Corner Keystone Correction function to eliminate
geometric distortion resulting from projector placement at an angle to the screen. A mechanical shutter
assembly provides a convenient method of stopping light projection on the screen. When required, the
projectors can display an image on floors or ceilings through a vertical 360-degree tilt angle projection
capability.
