BenQ suggests customers cut the cables with the W1500-- a projector handling 2D and 3D HD video and audio from a variety of HDMI-enabled sources via 5GHz wireless technology.

Described by the company as "the perfect coffee table projector," the W1500 streams video from any HDMI-enabled device up to 20m away. Short-throw capabilities allow for an 84-inch screen from 2m distance with 1.6x zoom and vertical lens shift.

A Texas Instruments DarkChip3 DLP processor handles projection duties, with MEMC frame interpolation, higher brightness and deep black levels.

BenQ launches the W770ST-- a short-throw entry level home entertainment projector with a native 1280x720 DLP chip projecting 62-inch images from a 40-inch distance away from the screen.

An integrated 10W speaker makes it a "take it out of the closet and show it" projector.

TruAudio launches a line of Elite Prime Vision projection screens-- including fixed frame, fixed acoustic, fixed curve and motorized screens in standard, in-ceiling, tension, twin and floor rising.

The fixed frame projection screens feature an HD 3.5-inch flat frame and a 4K curved frame model. Both cover the gamut of home theatre applications and are available in either 16:9 or 2:35:1 aspect ratios with white, gray, acoustically transparent or rear projection surfaces.

Meanwhile the wall/ceiling electric products include tension-tabbed screens available in multiple aspect ratios and screen materials.

For in-ceiling applications TruAudio has a Plenum-rated integrated solution it claims is fully compatible with home and commercial automation systems.

Digital Projection introduce the world’s first 3-chip DLP LED Projector at InfoComm, an addition to their Titan range.

Aimed primarily at high-end home cinemas, as well as the simulation and visualization markets, this projector features all the video processing of the Titan range plus 60,000+ hours of stable and consistent LED illumination

It features high frame rate and low latency capabilities. The LED illumination provides a colour gamut well beyond requirements for HDTV or cinema. For the more demanding applications, FastFrame Smear Reduction is available via the high bandwidth inputs.

There is support for all the commercial and domestic 3D formats. There is also an IR model available so you can use night vision. You can dim the LED light output from 100% to 1% to simulate different light conditions.

Linda Norton, Vice President at PMA Research (formerly Pacific Media Associates) told LinkedIn group members, “We are very optimistic in looking at stand-alone Pico and Personal projectors. The market has grown exponentially. In 2008, less than 100,000 units sold. In 2012 it reached 850,000 and we are forecasting more than a million for 2013. That's not including units embedded in phones and cameras.”

She added they are not yet as feature-packed as the ultra-short -throw business and education models, but pico and personal are certainly being embraced by road warriors doing small group presentations.

Display Development launches a pair of compact projectors-- the Digital Film 4 (DF4) and Digital Film 5 (DF5), both delivering 2K DCI performance and a Xenon lamp with up to 10000 lumens output inside a chassis 71cm deep.

Suitable for bright rooms with acoustically transparent screens, the DF systems include 16-bit processors, the Display Development VP-100 videp processor and a Smart Cooling system.

The Xenon lamp offers consistent brightness, extends colour gamut and improves image fidelity with wider dynamics and colour fidelity than 2- or 4-lamp UHP systems, Display Development says.

The DF4 features a VariScope lens for multiple screen memory display without need for an anamorphic lens, while the DF4 features a fixed-image-width lens.

Multiple installation options are available, together with 3D image processing from DCI servers and 3D Blu-ray players.
