Toshiba SC35U Projector
Toshiba on Tuesday revealed its latest DLP projector, the TDP-SC35U. The display aims to give presenters options for showing more than prepared 2D images during a class or meeting without needing exotic equipment, the company says. A removable, 0.6-megapixel document camera is attached to the system and lets presenters switch from a computer or video player's source to live images from the camera itself. Toshiba suggests that the camera is useful for showing 3D objects, transparencies, or anything which is either too fragile or too large to be digitally scanned.
The core projector is based around an 800x600 projector with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and a 2,000 ANSI lumen brightness rating. Dual VGA connectors are built in for multiple PCs, as are solitary RCA and S-video ports. Toshiba is already shipping the SC35U today at a price of $899.
