Acer America has launched its S1383WHne professional series projector in North America. Touting short throw technology and a native 16:10 aspect ratio, the Acer S1383WHne offers clear and wide images of up to 300 inches diagonally from 10.9 feet from the screen. When used with the Crestron web-based control console, the Acer projector can be controlled remotely via a LAN. It also works with Crestron RoomView, a multi-user resource management program offering facility-wide monitoring, control, and reporting of audio-visual resources.†
With a 3200 ANSI lumens brightness and native WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, the Acer S1383WHne provides clear projection of vivid images from a long distance on a large screen, even indoors during daylight. The projector adjusts dark scenes to optimal black levels, while maintaining brightness, resulting in a high 13,000:1 contrast ratio.
The projector includes digital zoom and pan, so users can magnify details and a built-in 10W speaker offers high quality sound. It’s also DLP 3D Ready, and can be paired with a PC or audio-visual device that supports 120Hz output and a DLP 3D kit for a flicker-free 3D experience.†
The Acer S1383WHne measures 12.4 x 8.8 x 3.7-inches and weighs 6.2 lbs. Acer’s top-loading lamp design enables quick lamp replacement, even when the projector is ceiling mounted. The projector also comes with multiple connectivity options that include a HDMIport with MHL connectivity for charging smartphones and tablets as well as composite, s-video, and two sets of D-Sub and audio connectors, which allow users to connect two PCs for instant switching.
“Teachers, public speakers, executives, and others that speak to large audiences will especially appreciate our newest short throw projector’s ability to project large, vibrant images from either long or short distances and high-quality audio,” says Ronald Lau, Acer America business manager. “I’m confident that IT professionals will be fans of its top-loading lamp design and ability to be controlled remotely via a LAN, making it easy to manage and service.”
The Acer S1383WHne professional series projector provides up to 4,000 hours of lamp life in standard mode, 6,000 hours in ECO mode, and up to 8,000 hours in ExtremeECO mode. It is available at retailers and commercial resellers in the United States for $699 (MSRP).
