Sharp PN-L601B 60" Touchscren Updated

Grant's Perspective on ... the Sharp 60" touchscreen update includes dual touch capabilities.

I first reviewed the PN-L601B in February when the 60" touchscreen was featured at our Open House event. Sharp has now announced several upgrades:

•  Sheets can be scrolled with two fingers to change the sheet
•  Screen can be enlarged or reduced by dual touch
•  A background image can be added
•  Yellow and white pen colours have been added
•  Functions like eraser speed, sheet scrolling and enlarging have all been improved.

The Winnipeg office of Inland AV is moving today and tomorrow and then it's vacation time so I will be taking the next week or so off.

ECP3000 Old School Projector

Grant's Perspective on ... old rental projectors.

As we (Inland AV) are preparing to move to our new location we have been busy packing and one of my co-workers passed on some photos from a rental show back in 1991. Below are two stacked ECP 3000 data/video projectors and a 15' x 20' rear projection screen. I'm not sure how many ANSI Lumens each ECP projector put out but it must be close to 150!

I remember how heavy these 3 tube projectors were and how you had to converge the tubes every time you set them up. Things sure have changed with today's projectors coming in at a fraction of the weight and 100 times as bright.

BTW - I'll try and post the next few weeks but may be too busy moving!

SeaWorld Video Monitors

Grant's Perspective on ...the video wall at SeaWorld.

While attending InfoComm in Orlando recently, I attended educational courses, private product training and walked miles on the trade show floor. We decided to visit SeaWorld the day before the show. I loved their video wall system!

Here are pics of the main stage at Sea World.  There are four very large screens that will combine, split, rotate, move across the stage.  Real cool!

After this I ate sea food exclusively for the rest of the week.

I hope everyone enjoyed seeing these displays.  Hopefully someone was inspired or I triggered some new ideas.  We receive requests for video walls all the time and I expect we’ll be seeing more requests for the creative style of displays.

Crestron InfoComm Booth Monitors

Grant's Perspective on ... unique video wall configuration at the Crestron booth.

Crestron was another company showing creativity with their video display at InfoComm 2011. The previous blog was the Samsung video towers and now I wanted to post images of the unique monitor configuration in the Crestron booth. 

Here are pics of the main signage display at the Crestron booth.  I was intrigued by how they used the monitors tilted and interlocked.  Impressive!

You can see two logos starting to appear

the logo has grown

I took a handful of pics of various displayed images.   In the second pic you can see a logo in the centers, then it got larger until it filled the entire screen.  Imagine what it takes for the video wall processors to accomplish this.

In the next blog I’ll show how creative the producers at Sea World got with their video displays.  Should be inspiring!

Video Towers At Samsung InfoComm Booth

Grant's Perspective on ...the cool video towers at the Samsung InfoComm booth.

InfoComm 2011 displayed some impressive creativity put into various video displays.  I’d like to show some examples in my next few posts.  

Here are pics of the video towers at the Samsung booth.  It looked impressive from all sides, all views.  You couldn’t miss it!

I took a handful of pics of various displayed images so you can better see how cool this is.  Keep in mind these are still shots so I can’t show the movement, but you’ll get the idea.  It’s cool to see the video wall processors work their magic.

In the next blog I’ll show how Crestron uses the video monitors at an angle and interlocked with each other.   After that, the video displays at Sea World!

Contact us at Inland AV if you’re looking for displays for that wow factor impression.
