The InFocus IN1100 projector series is designed for teams that want it all - mobility, performance, and ease-of-use. With DisplayLink USB connectivity the IN1100 series takes seconds to set up and project and uses a much smaller cable. Utilizing filter-free, zero maintenance DLP with BrilliantColor technology, the IN1100 brings superior visual performance to any meeting space.

Hitachi Digital CP-X608 LCD projector is designed for installation in medium and large presentation facilities at corporate venues and educational institutions. As demanded by such professional environments the new projector offers the high performance and key features users have come to expect from Hitachi. Common sense design improvements have resulted in even better user functionality, ease of operation and maintenance.

A design goal of the CP-X6xx series was to improve projector maintenance with easier to use features such as the accessible lamp door on the top of the machine and the air filter on the side where it doesn't trap dust regardless of how the unit is mounted. Maintenance is further eased with the inclusion of Hitachi's network management software which allows users to control, diagnose, monitor and manage projectors through a simple browser interface from anywhere on the network or via email alerts. The CP-X608 has the added benefit of a wireless network interface to provide even more convenient access.

Reliability of the new projector has been improved not only by less complexity but specifically with the introduction of a high performance air filter. The new electro-statically charged filter is far more effective than conventional urethane filters in ensuring that dust particles do not accumulate on critical areas of the projector including the lens mechanism, even when operating in dusty or polluted environments.

Flexible installation into venues including meeting rooms and conference rooms is aided by the vertical and horizontal manual lens shift and a range of four optional lenses with bayonet style fittings that facilitate a range of throw distances from 1.8m to 14.8m when projecting a 100" screen surface.

With a variety of Gigabit interfaces, integrated PoE on all 10/100/1000Base-T ports, 10-GbE capability, and a choice of form factors, the 3500yl switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance.

The HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure brings new capabilities to HP BladeSystem. Now available in either a Tower model or rack model, the c3000 targets three separate market segments: 1) remote sites needing between 2 and 8 server blades; 2) mid-sized companies with between 3 and 100 servers in their company; and 3) enterprise accounts with special datacenter requirements, such as DC power, or very limited rack power and cooling capacity. Similar to the c7000, the Intelligent Management through the Onboard Administrator gives you complete control of your bladed infrastructure. A multi-terabit backplane ensures that the c3000 Enclosure can support today's Gigabit networks with an easy migration to tomorrows 10 Gigabit solutions.

In addition to being the smallest scanner in its class, the fi-6240 is able to scan an impressive 60 pages or 120 images per minute in monochrome (A4, 200dpi) as well as 40 pages or 80 images per minute in color (A4, 200 / 300dpi). Furthermore, its ability to continuously scan 50-page mixed-batch documents containing paper of different weight, quality and sizes enables the fi-6240 efficiently digitize large volumes of paper documents.

The fi-6240 is the first business scanner in its class to inherit highly regarded intelligent "fi-Series" automatic features from its higher end siblings. Such features facilitate worry-free mixed-batch scanning of documents containing paper of different weights, quality and sizes.

This function puts users at ease with its ability to protect valuable documents by immediately stopping the scanning process when it recognizes that a jam is about to occur.

The intelligent multifeed function simplifies pre-scanning preparation and improves efficiency by ignoring documents that tend to trigger false multifeed alerts, such as photo and sticky note attached documents.

The fi-6240 is the first "dedicated image-processing LSI" armed scanner in its class to offer such highly valued automatic functions. As a result, the fi-6240 brings about dramatic digitizing efficiencies through fast scanning and simultaneous high-speed image processing.

In addition to being able to scan embossed cards, the fi-6240 is able to scan up to 3 plastic cards at a time (up to 1.4mm thick) in order to meet a wide variety of business needs.

The fi-6240's built in flatbed enables it to digitize various thin documents and bound documents that cannot be fed through its ADF unit.

Highlights of the Fujitsu fi-6240 Colour A4 Scanner

• The fastest and most compact scanner in its class
• The first scanner in its class to adopt high-end "fi-Series" functions
• Paper protection function
• Intelligent multifeed function
• Speedy "auto-color recognition", "auto-size recognition" and "auto-deskew" functionality
• Excellent card feedability
• Built-in flatbed

Whether you're working with line drawings, maps, images, or posters, this HP multifunction printer helps you copy, scan, and print all your large-format documents quickly using one convenient, integrated device. And with HP Vivera inks, you get high-quality results every time.

Make sure your scanned documents mirror your originals as closely as possible, with an HP MFP designed to deliver top-quality scanning capabilities. Supporting originals up to 42 in. (1067 mm) wide and up to 0.6 in. (15.2 mm) thick, you're sure to see excellent results with sophisticated three CCD camera scanning technology. Your scans and prints - with up to 9600 dpi resolution and 0,15% line accuracy - achieve a high level of detail, matching your originals.

If you want copies that are truly representative of your original documents, you can rely on this HP Designjet MFP with HP Vivera inks to make it happen. See impressive color accuracy - including black and gray tones - over a range of applications including line drawings, maps, images, and posters. Create copies of your work using a large variety of media and support for sizes up to 42 in. (1067 mm) wide.

Bring a new level of clarity and professionalism to your prints. HP Vivera inks were designed specifically with this MFP to produce exacting detail and a wide range of color. With the addition of gray ink in the HP Three-black ink set, you achieve more accurate color, dark blacks, and true neutral grays, so prints have smooth area fills, more depth, and more subtle contrasts, from the most vivid color to the softest tones.

Work productively with a large format HP MFP that quickly delivers three functions in one. Scan color documents at speeds up to 2-in per second (400 dpi Turbo mode) and black-and-white documents at up to 6-in per second (400 dpi Turbo mode). Print A1 (D)-sized documents in just up to 35 seconds per page. Create one A1 (D)-sized copy up to four times faster than with the HP Designjet 820 MFP - and realize even faster speeds when producing numerous high-quality copies of your original documents.

The HP Designjet T1100 MFP comes standard with an integrated, embedded operating system and a fast Intel Pentium IV processor. The 2.8 GHz processing speed, 1 GB memory, and 40 GB hard disk drive enable faster scan and copy performance. In addition, with this printer's in-printer processing architecture and 40 GB hard-disk drive, files are processed in the printer rather than on your workstation so you can send a file reliably to the printer and get back to work quickly.
