InFocus projectors with 3D capability
InFocus announced the release of five new projectors in the IN100 series. With ultra-low price points, high brightness, 3D capability and a new lamp design that lasts 50 percent longer than the previous generation (6,000 hours), the new InFocus projectors offers a very capable, long-lasting solution for schools and businesses looking to cut technology costs. The five new InFocus projectors in the IN100 series (IN112, IN114, IN116, IN124 and IN126) provide customers with a range of price, resolution, brightness and connectivity options. The new InFocus projectors are available through authorized resellers or online via the InFocus website.
Organizations can choose a native resolution of SVGA (800x600 pixels) for the best possible price, XGA (1024x768 pixles) for better image and clarity, or select a InFocus projector with higher brightness or WXGA (1280x800) resolution to project high-definition, widescreen content without scaling. All inFocus projectors are lightweight, so that makes it easy to install or share between different rooms. With up to 3200 lumens, the new InFocus projectors with 3D capability provides offices and classrooms with bright, clear images in well-lit rooms at a high 3000:1 contrast ratio. Several of the new inFocus projectors feature HDMI ports for enhanced connectivity.

"The cost of the InFocus projectors doesn’t compromise quality. The long lamp life and high brightness are features that ensure superior image quality as well as a projector that will stretch the savings for years to come."

Come June, stars will shine in city planetarium again
PUNE: Here's good news for astronomy enthusiasts in the city. After almost seven years, the planetarium housed in the New English School on Tilak Road is set to open its doors again by June this year.
Once considered to be the first planetarium set up in Asia, the facility has been non-functional since 2004. Due to technical difficulties and damages to the machine, the dome remained closed. Now, the machines have been repaired even as the dome is being re-painted and push-back chairs have been installed.
Rs 1 crore will be required for the entire renovation project. "By December, the planetarium will be complete with all latest facilities. However, the facility will start functioning by June, offering access to students and astronomy groups," said Ajit Patwardhan, chairman of Deccan Education Society, which runs the planetarium. The New English School has appointed eminent astronomer and member of the fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, London, Parag Mahajani, as consultant. Mahajani has been instrumental in getting the projectors repaired and bring back the planetarium to life.
The projector installed at the planetarium was imported from Philadelphia in the mid-50s. It was a manually-operated machine. In 2004, the projector started malfunctioning and eventually it had to be shut down. Efforts were made to repair the machine, but in vain. "Recently, we consulted with Mahajani who took a look at it and decided to get it repaired. Two trials were taken after the repairing work was done and now the machine is doing great and is completely operational. Now we could run the planetarium once again," said, Dilip Kotibhaskar, chairman of the planetarium.
A minimum of 100-seat capacity planetarium will be ready and a telescope which is at least 100 years ago will also be installed, even as sky watching sessions will be resumed. The planetarium was established in 1954, which was first-of-its-kind in Asia those days. "The projector matched to those in America in those days and was bought at Rs 50,000. The projectors available now are different and they are priced over Rs 55 lakh. However, Mahajani, who is the consultant to Nehru Planetarium in Mumbai, is of the opinion that the clarity of this projector is brilliant and therefore, we decided to get it repaired."
Several international scientists have shown interest in visiting the planetarium once it gets functional for the quality of projection that is possible with the projector. Several topics on astronomy will be covered at this planetarium once it runs full-fledged, Kotibhaskar said.
Home to the renowned Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (Iucaa) and the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) and numerous astronomy clubs, the city understandably has a huge appetite for astronomy, and over the years this has only witnessed a rise. The one thing that was missing was a planetarium, which the city is set to get.
