SANYO Introduces LP-XTC50 Projector
SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) announces another unique projector to its broad line-up, the LP-XTC50. This new commercial-use projector features the industry's first*1 `lamp selection system' promoting easier projector maintenance, approximately 6,000 hours*2 without the need of lamp maintenance, as well as offering other recent features simplifying maintenance for projectors, such as SANYO's proprietary `Active Maintenance Filter' (AMF) that saves on maintenance by automatically detecting clogs in the airflow to the system and scrolls the reel in the cartridge of filters to the next clean filter.
The projector also features advanced lens shifting, even performing keystone corrections both horizontally and vertically while being able to be positioned or installed at almost any angle and setting. The LP-XTC50 will be on sale in Japan starting from January 9, 2009.
Along with the updates over the previous model in terms of higher brightness, the use of projectors is expanding in locations such as large halls and rooms with high ceilings and harder to reach projector settings. SANYO provides easier maintenance options for its projectors with this new solution for replacing lamps. SANYO already provides simple maintenance option such as the AMF cartridge-type filter system. With this latest feature, SANYO will continue to provide projectors with the simplest maintenance, filled with features, allowing a variety of projector settings to meet each individual need.
Main Features
1. Industry's first*1 lamp selection system: No lamp maintenance necessary for approximately 6,000 hours*2
- Incorporates industry's first*1 lamp selection system
- Lamp selection system makes approximately 6,000 hours*2 of projection possible, or twice as long as conventional one-lamp models
- System automatically*3 selects one of the two lamps to project from, and switches based on user preference or on preprogrammed settings
- `Alternating Mode' allows a rotating pattern alternating the two lamps' use time
- `Relay Mode' uses one lamp to recommended lamp replacement time, then switches lamps
- Eliminates need to stock up spare lamps far in advance, good for budget limitations
- If the first lamp is fully used, the next is already loaded, allowing seamless presentations

3. Vertical/Horizontal Lens Shifting & Keystone Correction / 360-degree*5 Projection: Installation in various places is possible
- Lens shifting and keystone correction permit advanced installation versatility
- Vertical/Horizontal Lens Shifting (max. +50% vertically and ±15% horizontally)
- Vertical/Horizontal Keystone Correction (±40 degrees vertically and ±20 degrees horizontally)
- Keystone correction for vertical and horizontal lines means projector can be installed at an angle in relation to the screen
- Projector can be installed at any 360-degree*5angle, while still being able to function properly
4. Other Features
- Equipped with highly durable optical engine, making overall projector longer-lasting
- Elegantly designed with in-view ceiling installation in mind
- Mechanical Shutter which completely blocks lamp light when desired, preventing light from entering a presenter's eyes
- An IC-equipped Lamp Box for Projection Time Management is incorporated for management of the projection time for each lamp
- Coin Screws are used to facilitate lamp replacement without using tools
- When installed on a ceiling, Remote Control from Directly Below is possible
