Hitachi recently launched the CP-RX80 entry level LCD projector. Built to the demanding standards that have established the company’s enviable reputation for quality. This versatile new model appeals to buyers in the education market, looking for excellent value for their money and no frills performance.

With bright, 8-bit colour XGA images projected at 2200 lumens in normal mode and a contrast ratio of 500:1, the Hitachi CP-RX80 delivers in terms of everyday performance. The manual focus, manual 1.2 times zoom displays images of 30 to 300” (0.76m to 7.62m) and a 60” (1.52m) screen from just 1.7m. When used in eco mode, which reduces brightness to 1500 lumens, lamp life is up to 6000 hours and when the lamp eventually does need changing easy access is provided through the lamp door conveniently positioned on the top of the projector. In addition to these optical characteristics, picture quality is assured as a result of Hitachi’s equalizing gamma correction, 2-3 pull down, progressive scan and noise reduction features.

Low noise levels of just 29dB in whisper mode ensure that the CP-RX80 will be unobtrusive in any presentation environment as will the compact physical dimensions of the 317mm(w) x 98mm(h) x 288(d)mm, 3.2kg chassis. All common connectivity options are catered for with computers linked via 15-pin mini D-sub for input and output respectively. Video input is provided through either an RCA or an S-video jack, while audio in and out are both via stereo mini jacks.

The CP-RX80 also benefits from a host of usability features popular across the Hitachi product line. These include input source naming where users can name input sources such as TV or DVD instead of defaults.

Hitachi projectors are also renowned for the highest levels of security and the CP-RX80 is no exception. The new model includes a PIN lock, a My Screen PIN lock, a keypad lock, a Kensington lock, a My Text lock, a steel security bar and a tamper proof serial number label on the side which together provide a layered security approach to reduce theft risks.
