InFocus Projectors, DisplayLink USB Video Shake Hands

  June 11th, 2008



DON'T MISS

From monitor to docking station and photo frame, DisplayLink USB graphics core is establishing a strong foot-hold in the alternate video connectivity market. The next step logically is to make its way into projectors, and InFocus IN1100- and IN3100-series are the first ones enabled with DisplayLink technology. Instead of a bulky VGA cable, these projectors use a standard mini-USB cable for carrying video signals.

The road warrior-friendly IN1102 weighs in just 2.75lb. and measures in just 7.2" x 2.5" x 8.3", making it ideal for portability. This particular model relies on USB for digital connectivity as DVI/HDMI is absent from the interface list. It does come with composite, S-video and VGA, all of which are analog however. The $1399 IN1102 projector itself has a a contrast ratio of 1800:1; native aspect ratio of 16:10; and a max. resolution of 1280x800. The other model IN3102, weighing at 7lb., isn't supposed to be lugged around a lot. On the other hand, it features better contrast ratio at 2000:1 and brighter light output at 3000 Lumens which is ample for presentation in a large conference room even with ambient room light. The $1499 IN3102, in contrast to the IN1102, is equipped with HDMI and a pair of 3W stereo speakers.
