- Networking capabilities allow for monitoring projection functions and operation via web browser - Fixed ultra-short focus lens and proprietary optical engine facilitates the projection of images up to 80-inches from a distance of approximately 3-inches
CHATSWORTH, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- INFOCOMM --
SANYO, one of the world's largest manufacturers of LCD and DLP projectors
introduces the PLC-XL51 LCD Projector, an upgrade to the previous PLC-XL50.
The PLC-XL51 offers the same unique short throw distance design that was
introduced on the PLC-XL50, and now includes added brightness at 2700 Lumens,
a SD card slot for presentations without a PC, in addition to networking
capabilities.

The PLC-XL51 is equipped with SANYO's exclusive PJ Network Interface for
wired and wireless networking, a popular feature among SANYO's extensive line
of commercial projectors. Networking allows the monitoring of projector
functions and operation from a long distance via a web browser. The wireless
interface is compatible with IEEE802.11b/g standards, offering transfer speeds
up to 54Mbps and providing WEP 64/128-bit security and Mac OS compatibility.
The unique short throw distance design incorporated into the PLC-XL51
allows the projector to function in virtually any environment. By shortening
the distance for projection, the options for installation are greatly
improved, which includes floor, tabletop and wall mount projection. The
variety of applications is almost limitless, providing effective, quick and
easy presentations or announcements. For instance:
- Projecting a large screen on the floor in a pre-school creates a new
style of teaching and classroom interaction.
- Used as a tabletop projector, images can be projected on a dark surface
allowing designers and architects to see their designs more visually for
review or additional inspiration
- The projector can be used in a department store to advertise sales
products in hallways or on open floor spaces
"The PLC-XL51 will be the projector of choice for many space constrained
applications, particularly in the educational and public information markets,"
says Mark Holt, the Vice President and General Manager for SANYO's
Presentation Technologies Division. "This is a powerful and revolutionary
display tool for the office, digital signage (electronic advertising) and
classrooms, creating a more impressive ambience in any location and now with
SANYO's networking capabilities."
In order for SANYO to shorten the projection distance of the PLC-XL51, a
large diameter aspheric lens and high-precision aspheric mirror were used.
This enables large magnification without distortion, even from an ultra-short
distance. For instance, the PLC-XL51 is capable of projecting an 80-inch image
approximately from a distance of only 3-inches (8 cm). This creates an
opportunity to project extremely large images in any room or space that is
available.
Additional features include a proprietary cooling system that is a one-way
flow design consisting of an air intake and exhaust mechanism on the main body
of the projector. Top and Bottom Keystone Correction is provided for proper
alignment of the projector. The Color Board Mode allows adjustment of the hue
when projecting an image on a colored (non-white) surface so that it appears
to be projected on a white surface. The additional Black Board Mode enables
educational institutions to use the projector with all standardized
educational boards.
The PLC-XL51 has been outfitted with a built-in vibration sensor alert. An
alarm sounds when the unit is picked up, proving to be an effective
theft-deterrent. There is also a PIN code to lock the projector when not in
use. The unit turns on automatically when the power cord is plugged into an
electrical outlet and with the Easy-Off function it's possible to remove the
power cord without waiting for the machine to cool down, which is convenient
for quickly clearing away the area after a presentation.
