InFocus Corporation has launched three new projector lines geared towards meeting spaces and classrooms where employees and students bring their own devices. Nine new projector models in the IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 Series feature ultra-long lamp life, secure and easy integration with popular devices, and a new whisper-quiet fan design. InFocus designed these projectors keeping in mind what matters most to schools and businesses: value, image brightness, flexibility and BYOD capability. The IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 Series projectors make quick-start lessons and meetings easy, regardless of room size, light levels, or the presentation device.

The new InFocus projectors offer a customizable presentation solution, with the new TechStation internal HDMI 1.4 bay that lets users add a Google Chromecast, Intel Computer Stick, InFocus SimpleShare, Asus Chromebit, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android TV Stick, or any other HDMI-compatible device into the bay. TechStation capability then gives educators and presenters the ability to use the features of the connected HDMI device to present, stream audio or video, and cast content using compatible devices such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones. Each new projector series features lamp life of up to 15,000 hours, 28,500:1 contrast ratio for deeper blacks, and BrilliantColor DLP imaging technology for more than one billion colors that are easily projected onto whiteboards, blackboards, or beige walls in any lighting conditions.

The IN130 Series replaces the IN120x Series with three new models – the IN134, IN136, IN138HD. The IN130ST Series replace the IN120STx line with IN134ST, IN136ST, and IN138HDST and offer short-throw capabilities. The final three new projector models – the IN2134, IN2136, and IN2138HD, are touted as an all-in-one business solution with 4,500 lumens of brightness and the TechStation feature. All nine new projector models from InFocus range in resolution from XGA to Full HD and include a powered HDMI port for mobile charging and device power. They also offer support for 3D content from video games, PC programs, and Blu-ray (with 144Hx DLP Link 3D glasses, sold separately).

The IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 Series will available worldwide starting in mid-November with prices ranging from $700 to $1,400 U.S. MSRP.

Display industry analyst firm PMA Research tracks trends for the projector market. Their September Projector Distribution Reseller Tracking report showed that WXGA projectors, ranging from 3000-4999L, was one of the leading product segments in unit sales for the month.
