Sanyo Electric CO., Ltd. announced on Tuesday its new PLC-XF47 and FLC-XP100L LCD, claiming the world 's brightest  portable projector.  The first is the brightest professional-grade LCD projector with 15,000 lumens. The latter breaks ground as the brightest portable LCD projector with 6500 lumens.

Both projectors are fitted with the PJ-NET Organizer Plus C and the PJ-NET Master Ver. 2.0, and all the software is controlled remotely.  Both units also use the Durable Inorganic Optical System (DIOS), which included the LCD panels and polarizing film. 

The PLC-XF47 is equipped with four 330-watt lamps; enough to throw extra-large projections.  Also, in case the lamp burns out, the projector is equipped with a failsafe feature so the image is not interrupted.  This unit has an HD-Wireless System, which is capable of receiving uncompressed 720p and 1080i data wirelessly.  Also the wireless capabilities support video data rates up to 1.5Gbps.  It also has a 1024x768 resolution, 2000:1 contrast ratio, and a throw distance of 40 to 600-inches.

The PLC-XP100L uses a 330-watt lamp, a 10bit video circuit.  This unit has an Active Maintenance Filter System that automatically detects airflow and advances clean filter material when needed.  The system increases reliability and reduces maintenance.  This unit is equipped with a 1024x768 resolution, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, and a throw distance of 31 to 400-inches.

"SANYO has always lead the industry in value-priced, high brightness projectors for large venues but the PLC-XF47 takes us to a new level with optional non-compressed HD wireless capabilities," says Mark Holt, the Vice President and General Manager for SANYO's Presentation Technologies Division. "The PLC-XP100L breaks ground as the brightest LCD projector in its class with some exciting new maintenance features."

Both units will be available in October and September, with the XF47 at the price of $29,995 and the XP100L for $9,995.
