Press Information Toshiba T700/701 and T500/501 – cableless presentations with wireless LAN Neuss, August 2002 At this year’s Photokina, Toshiba’s Professional Visual Products division will be presenting an entirely new line of wireless LAN data and video projectors for the first time in Europe. The models T700 and T701, together with the T500 and T501, were designed for professional use and are Toshiba’s first projectors equipped with the wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b) technology. The projectors of the Performance Wireless class can be used as peer-to-peer devices or within a network environment, thus allowing wireless presentations at larger distances. The user can easily establish s wireless connection between notebook and projector without time-consuming setup, and the software simply needs to be installed once. The projectors of the T series are the ideal choice for presentations in any conferencing situation. The T700 and the T701 – due to their Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology – have a brightness of 2,000, the models T500 and T501 offer a brightness of 1,600 ANSI lumens. All four new models provide XGA resolution, a contrast ratio of 400:1 and further extras, such as the ECO mode or the freeze frame function. The new devices are also available as T701 and T501 models equipped with Toshiba’s unique integrated projection camera.

The software “Toshiba Projector Wireless Utility“ guarantees easy system configuration and a fast connection via the IEEE 802.11b standard. There are two ways of presenting your data with the Toshiba T series devices via WLAN: you can establish a connection via your IP address which means that your data is encoded according to WEP+ at a rate of 64/128 bits. This option is particularly suitable for data presentation without third party access possibilities. The other mode is an ad hoc mode (peer-to-peer) intended for use in individual environments.

This additional technology only available in Toshiba projectors can be used to incorporate individual documents or smaller items and models into any presentation by simply switching to another menu item. The user can quickly switch between the computer and the projection camera. The camera of both projectors has an overlay and a memory function. Images can be transferred directly to the notebook via WLAN and saved there. To meet even sophisticated customer needs, both projectors with a weight of just 3.4 kilograms (4.1 kilograms including camera) are technically well-equipped. The presentor can move around freely thanks to the remote control device with an integrated laser pointer or the mouse remote control. The ECO mode reduces brightness when necessary, thus protecting the high performance lamp and cutting down on the operating noise which is silent enough anyhow.
