ViewSonic Projector Delivers Versatility and Manageability for Large Venues

LCD Projector Offers High Performance and Network Device-Management for Education and the Enterprise

WALNUT, Calif. –(Business Wire)– Oct. 9, 2006 As part of its ongoing campaign to deliver more than two dozen innovative display products to customers by the end of 2006, ViewSonic(R) Corp. today announced a network-enabled LCD projector that delivers high brightness and panoramic sound ideal for large-venue presentations like lecture halls, religious institutions and conference rooms. Equipped with 4,000 lumens of brightness, 1024×768 resolution and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, the PJ1158 delivers crisp images, while its integrated 16-watt SRS(TM) WOW audio system fills large rooms with rich music or effects.

For easy device management across a large network, the PJ1158 allows administrators to control and manage up to 500 projectors at once. A variety of tasks can be performed remotely, including scheduling, routine diagnostics, powering on or off, and adjusting image settings. The PJ1158 also offers eShot, a remote image function that enables the projection of multiple still images at specified times, acting as a digital billboard in classrooms and public spaces to easily communicate news or display decorative images. The projector can also send e-mail and phone messages to inform administrators of overall device status or an alert for a new bulb, which can be easily replaced within minutes.

“ViewSonic continues to broaden our line of business projectors based on feedback from our customers and channel partners,” said Jeff Volpe, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic Americas. “By combining advanced network connectivity with outstanding image quality, the PJ1158 allows users to focus on delivering presentations to their audience, while ensuring easy maintenance for network administrators.”

Additional features include both horizontal and vertical auto keystone correction and manual lens shift to ensure sharp images. The PJ1158 has optional long and short throw lenses for installation flexibility. The projector is programmed with several preset picture modes to maximize image quality for whatever multimedia is used in a presentation, and can also be adjusted for different projection screens and ambient light conditions. It also includes a remote mouse and a laser pointer, and enhanced security features to prevent unauthorized use or theft.

The PJ1158 is available now for an estimated street price of $3,999, and comes with ViewSonic’s superior customer support program that includes a three-year limited product warranty, 24/7 technical support and one year of Express Exchange(R) service at no additional charge.
