Demonstrating its dedication to serving as the complete source of digital video display solutions for the custom installation market, Zenith Electronics Corporation exhibited its broad array of CRT, LCD and DLPô front-projection products at CEDIA EXPO 2001.Zenith PRO1200X HDTV CRT ProjectorThe flagship PRO1200X is a high performance, feature-packed CRT video projector designed to display crystal-clear images from a wide spectrum of high resolution video sources, on screens ranging from 4.6 to 20 feet wide. The PRO1200X is ideally suited for high-definition displays in high-end home theatres and in commercial applications, ranging from sports bars and restaurants to conference centers and schools. It is especially effective when matched with Zenith's other digital video solutions, including its progressive scan DVD players and HDTV set-top receiver.Using high resolution 8-inch, liquid-coupled CRTs with electromagnetic focus and high-definition, color-corrected HD215 lenses, the PRO1200X renders large-screen images with unprecedented accuracy. Aided by a built-in camera, its ProVergeô Automatic Convergence system aligns screen convergence in less than 2.5 minutes, and with more accuracy than has been possible using conventional manual convergence techniques.The PRO1200X's multi-standard video system is capable of displaying images up to 1080p resolution in HDTV, and 1280 x 1024 pixels in SXGA mode. It is compatible with NTSC, PAL and SECAM video sources, and can be set for conventional 4:3 and widescreen 16:9 aspect ratios. Fully supporting its high level of performance, the projector is designed to be configured for either front or rear operation, and mounted on the floor or ceiling (with optional ceiling mount).Outstanding image quality is enhanced by a host of special features, including contrast modulation to improve brightness and color uniformity, an adaptive digital comb filter, a three-mode CRT drive designed to extend the life of the CRTs, on-screen menus in English, French, German or Spanish, adjustable color temperatures, 32 frequency-related memory banks, and linear digital interpolation.The PRO1200X comes with an IR remote control that doubles as an installation remote, a process assisted by such installer-friendly features as effective on-screen set-up guides, the automatic storage of adjustments, the ability to set parameters to mid positions, a built-in projection distance calculator, and Seagull correction to improve corner geometry.The versatile connection panel includes S-Video and composite video inputs, an RGB analog input on a D9 connector, five BNC connectors for RGB or component video input, and an RS232 data communication port. The RGB and component inputs include automatic sync detection and polarity.The PRO1200X is available now from Zenith dealers at a suggested price of $29,995.

They perform superbly when paired with Zenith's other home theatre solutions, such as its progressive scan DVD players and HDTV set-top receiver, and offer custom installers flexible options for meeting their customers' needs.Both projectors can be configured for front- or rear-projection, and mounted on the floor or from the ceiling. Because the PRO895X is digital, it can also be used to display dynamic game action and large-scale computer graphics.The PRO895X and PRO900X employ 7-inch liquid-coupled CRTs with high definition, color-corrected HD215 lenses to deliver bright, sharp, accurate images. The 1920x1080i (interlaced) display format assures the ultimate in digital HDTV resolution in conventional (4:3), widescreen (16:9) and NTSC-compressed aspect ratios.Outstanding picture quality is further assured by a multi-standard video system that displays all 18 ATSC digital TV formats in their native resolutions, an advanced 3D Y/C comb filter that digitally controls and separates color (chroma) and picture (luminance) information, and expansion/compression circuitry that automatically adjusts the contrast ratio to produce blacker blacks, whiter whites and extraordinarily sharp edges without sacrificing picture details or shading subtleties.The numerous convenience features include an easy-to-use multi-brand remote control, as well as a track ball remote with the PRO900X, easy scan reversal for a proper image in all mounting configurations, a built-in timer for kiosk and vacation applications, and multilingual set-up menus.
