Sharp Unveils New A and V Series Projectors for Professional Use
Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, has announced a significant refresh to its professional projector offerings. The A Series and V Series LCD laser projectors are designed to cater to a variety of environments, from educational institutions to corporate settings, equipped with advanced features that enhance performance and usability.
Overview of New Projectors
The new lineup includes the A series models XP-A824U, XP-A104U, XP-A155U, XP-A175U, and the V series models XP-V731U and XP-V801U. Notably, the A series models are engineered for extreme brightness, featuring lumens ranging from 8,200 to 17,000. These projectors support WUXGA native resolution and 4K input, providing unparalleled clarity and vibrant visuals that can overcome ambient light conditions, ensuring they excel in well-lit spaces.
A Series: Brightness and Dust Resistance
The A Series projectors are designed to deliver uncompromised image quality through Sharp’s proprietary high-performance video processing. What sets these models apart is their dual blue laser system and unique IP5X-rated Sealed LCD cooling technology, which minimizes dust accumulation within the optical path. This ensures consistent brightness and high image fidelity, all while eliminating the need for frequent maintenance or filter replacements.
Model Highlights:
- - XP-A824U: Delivers 8,200 lumens for medium-sized venues.
- - XP-A104U: Offers 10,000 lumens for larger rooms.
- - XP-A155U and XP-A175U: Provide 15,000 and 17,000 lumens respectively, ideal for extensive auditoria or conference spaces.
V Series: Flexibility and Cost Efficiency
On the other hand, the V Series projectors focus on offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness for users looking to achieve high-quality visuals without breaking the bank. With brightness levels of 7,300 and 8,000 lumens in the XP-V731U and XP-V801U models respectively, these projectors are compatible with legacy NEC lenses, allowing customers to utilize existing optics. This feature is particularly beneficial for companies aiming to save on equipment upgrades while still obtaining excellent projection capabilities.
Shared Innovations Across Both Series
Both the A and V series projectors come with a suite of advanced features that streamline the installation and enhance the user experience. These include:
- - Geometric Correction: Allows for accurate projections on non-standard surfaces.
- - Integrated Edge Blending: Facilitates seamless multi-projector displays.
- - Flexible Placement with Roll Free Orientation: Ensures adaptability to various installation angles.
- - Constant Brightness Setting: Automates light output maintenance over extended periods through built-in sensors.
- - NaViSet Administrator 2 Software: Offers comprehensive control, monitoring, and management of projector settings.
- - Multi-display TileMatrix Technology: Enables large-scale, high-resolution visuals without the need for external processors.
- - ProAssist™ Management Software: Provides remote control over projector image settings.
Ryan Pitterle, Sharp's Senior Product Manager for Projectors, highlighted that with this introduction, Sharp allows customers to precisely match their performance needs and integration requirements. He stated, "The A Series delivers dust-free reliability and extreme brightness for large, demanding spaces, while the V Series maximizes flexibility with lens compatibility and new ultra-short throw options. Together, they provide purpose-built solutions that ensure exceptional projection in any environment."
Warranty and Reliability
