NEW RELEASES - EIKI

The LC-X2U from EIKI is an XGA resolution LCD data/video projector delivering 3,000 ANSI lumens. The LC-X2U’s brightness results from a new 440 Watt DC metal halide lamp that outputs more light than standard lamps. Other light opti-
mization techniques, such as polarization capture, contribute to the projector’s brightness and uniform images. The image is rated at a 350:1 contrast ratio, with high color saturation.

   The projector comes equipped with a 1:1.29 power zoom and focus lens, and projects images up to 40’ wide over distances up to 106’. Optional telephoto, midrange and wide-angle accessory lenses permit longer and shorter throws. The LC-X2U has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, and is compatible with most workstations. Smart compression and expansion provide compatibility with inputs from 1280 x 1024 to 640 x 480.

Power lens shift minimizes keystoning in both directions, permitting offset ratios as high as 10:0~0:10, and eliminating the need for projector inversion in ceiling installations. The projector comes equipped with wireless and wired remote control, along with local control and RS-232 control. The LC-X2U is compatible with NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43, PAL-M and PAL-N color video systems. It accepts composite, S-Video, and component (DVD) video input, and displays both standard (4:3) and wide screen (16:9) ratio, with advanced video scaling.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

    OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
