InFocus, never too late to go 1080p

Philip Wong | Sep 14, 2007

While most home theater projector manufacturers have disclosed information about their second-generation 1080p projectors, InFocus has just announced its first full-HD model here in Asia. Better late than never, the 12,000:1 dynamic contrast Play Big IN82 is powered by the latest Texas Instrument DarkChip3 DLP engine paired with a 10-bit Pixelwork DNX video processor.

As with the earlier launched IN78, this has inbuilt Imaging Science Foundation Certified Calibration Configuration or ISF 3C support for professional color tuning. Connectivity-wise, there are a 1080p24-enabled HDMI 1.3 terminal and a set of component-video sockets. That’s besides its proprietary M1-D1 port which can be converted to a secondary HDMI via an optional adapter.

On a separate note, the company is also debuting the Work Big IN10, a featherweight 1.1kg ultra-mobile projector small enough to fit in the palm. Small in size but big in performance, it's capable of delivering a competent 1,800 ANSI lumen brightness and high 1,024 x 768-pixel resolution. The IN82 and IN10 will be available in Singapore from September 17 at S$9,999 (US$7,120.78) and S$2,399 (US$1,708.45), respectively.
