There’s a new dimension to entertainment, bringing on what many have called a second golden age of 3D.
The number of movies filmed in 3D is growing, as well as the number of movies that are being converted from 2D to 3D to boost their box office appeal.
Since the smash hit “Avatar,” many more films have been shot in 3D, including “Alice in Wonderland,” “Sanctum,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Mars Needs Moms” and “The Green Hornet.” Films such as “Green Lantern” and “The Smurfs” were filmed in 2D and converted, while “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” and “Puss in Boots” were shot in 2D but also shown in Imax 3D.
This year, many more are coming to theaters while old movies are now available in 3D Blu-ray discs for home enjoyment. And with the increasing popularity of this medium, more people want to enjoy the bold images of 3D on a large screen at home.
To meet that demand, there’s growing interest and innovation in 3D projectors. For example, Mitsubishi Electric’s new 3D projector, the HC7800D, brings the 3D experience home. The projector uses DLP technology to create exciting, vibrant 3D images in full high-definition, 1080p resolution. When paired with a Blu-ray disc player capable of 3D movie playback, 3D projectors like this bring movie enjoyment to a whole new level never before experienced at home.
The projector shows impressive 3D images viewable through its high-performance proprietary active-shutter glasses. The HC7800D also boasts one of the industry’s best 2D to 3D conversion technologies that can transform ordinary 2D classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Ben-Hur” into a seamless 3D experience with near-perfect 3D simulation that makes content jump off the screen.
The projector’s frame rate conversion technology also produces high-speed image reproduction for showing fine, smooth details and reducing any motion blur, especially in fast action scenes, so even watching sports and games becomes an event to look forward to, whether it’s in 2D or 3D.

Panasonic Introduces PT-DZ21K Smallest and Lightest 3-Chip DLP Projector with 3D Capability
Panasonic Europe today announced the PT-DZ21K Series, its new flagship 20,000 lumen 3-chip DLP projectors. The series consists of PT-DZ21K with WUXGA resolution and 20,000 lumens of brightness, PT-DS20K with SXGA+ resolution and 20,000 lumens of brightness and PT-DW17K with WXGA resolution and 16,500 lumens of brightness. In addition to the high brightness and the compact body, the projector boasts a long lamp replacement cycle of up to 2,000 hours and has 3D compatibility making it ideal for large venue applications such as auditorium, museum applications and for rental and staging that require easy handling.
The DZ21K Series boasts a powerful 20,000 lumens of brightness from the incorporation of four new 465W UHM lamps. The high brightness is supported by 10,000:1 contrast ratio, Panasonic’s proprietary Detail Clarity Processor 3 engine that brings out the fine details in images, and DICOM Simulation mode for use in medical training. The PT-DZ21K and PT-DS20K are both active 3D stereo projectors expanding the visual impact of the projected images. The supported 3D system is an active shutter system where the projector can be easily equipped with an external emitter via the 3D timing signal IN/OUT terminal. Frame sequential, side by side and top and bottom formats are supported as well as an easy menu to adjust for passive polarized 3D system.
Much cost savings is possible on the DZ21K Series with the up to 2,000 hours lamp replacement cycle. In addition, these lamps can be set to relay mode for 24/7 operation. The cost savings is also backed up by the up to 12,000 hours maintenance free Eco filter, the low power consumption of under 2,500W, space saving in the warehouse, and the low shipping cost necessary to ship the projector from one location to the next for rental and staging application.
“The PT-DZ21K is a revolutionary product for the staging and events market. Never before has it been possible to project 20.000 lumen from such a small and light projector”, says Hartmut Kulessa, Marketing Manager for Projectors at Panasonic Europe. “With a competitive price-point, low noise level, simple installation and transportation, this projector is perfect for rental and staging companies who are looking for something compact but with a full set of professional features like geometric adjustment, 3D capability and multi-screen features.”
The DZ21K series has a long lamp life cycle with up to 2,000 hours and can be set to relay mode for 24/7 operation. It also has up to 12,000 hours of maintenance free Eco filter, a low power consumption of under 2,500W, and a low shipping cost, which is ideal for rental and staging applications.
The projector comes equipped with a Lens Memory feature which adjusts the image size and location to up to three different projection positions and the mechanical shutter can be programmed to fade the image in and out during show transitions. All models have built in Edge Blending as well as Multi-Unit Brightness Control for projections on to wide screens and surfaces to create an immersive experience. Furthermore, PT-DZ21K and PT-DS20K are compatible to various curved screen projections with the Geometric Adjustment feature. The Geometric Adjustment feature can be enhanced with the optional upgrade kit, ET-UK20, to support more diverse curvatures and shapes. Bitmap masking becomes available enabling projections onto unique shapes.

Second projector in an iPhone case launched
A projector designed to be used with an iPhone has been launched by Texas Instruments and Brookstone.
The iPhone Pocket Projector has been made slim enough to fit within a cover for the phone itself and allows users to display their phone's content on a 50-inch diagonal screen to share videos and pictures with friends.
But this is not the first projector to take advantage of a cover for the smartphone. Earlier this year, Japanese accessory maker Century developed the Monolith case, which hides a projector and a battery pack inside the case to provide a level of protection for the smartphone while making it easy to carry a projector with you.
The Texas Instruments device offers a resolution of 640x360 and is powered by a 15 lumen projector lamp. The resolution is the same as the Japanese model, although its lighting outstrips the 12 lumens provided by the Century device.
However, with both gadgets offering relatively low light strength, they are both advisable for use in a dark environment.
They also both benefit from a rechargeable battery pack, meaning that neither will drain the battery on the iPhone itself.

MyProjectorLamps Maintains Industry Position with International Outreach
It was late 2010 when online projector lamp retailer, MyProjectorLamps, maintained its
position in the projector lamp industry by announcing a new, international range of domains
for serving greater Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Australia and South America. This is the
second wide-ranging addition to the company's purchasing interface to occur during the first
half of 2010.
As TMC (News - Alert) Contributor, Erin Monda, reported, “The projector lamp website
displays important information regarding purchase in 13 additional languages like Norwegian,
Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Portuguese, Italian, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Russian, Turkish,
Hebrew and Arabic. MyProjectorLamps President, Michael Newman, hopes that with this the
company will now be able to reach deeper into these new markets and build lasting
partnerships for the long-term growth of his company.”
MyProjectorLamps is now shifting its international approach from a digital interface to
customer support centers, as it opens its Australian projector lamp distribution and customer
support center. The expansion is aimed at serving Australia, New Zealand and the overall
pacific region better.
With the opening of the new office comes MyProjectorLamps' high level of customer service and
support, which means that customers buying within the region will now have access to local
telephone support, quick and inexpensive delivery, and trusted high-quality projector lamps.
MyProjectorLamps.com is the supplier of projector lamps for more than 5000 DLP and LCD
projectors. Projector Lamps are shipped to each and every country in the world from North
America and Europe using FedEx and TNT services. MyProjectorLamps is a privately held company
which provides the buyer with the option to either buy the pre-assembled projector lamp in
the plastic housing or just the bare projector lamp, hence enabling the buyer to save
hundreds of dollars on their purchase.
Most of these projector lamps are priced under $300 and last between 1,500 and 3,000 hours.
While the Australian economy continues to boom and prices of retail products continue to
skyrocket, with four regional offices MyProjectorLamps is able to use its global projector
lamp purchasing power to keep its prices low, while providing quality maintenance and great
customer service.
MyProjectorLamps offers projector lamp trade accounts to Resellers, Government and
Educational Institutions, and Worship Centers. TMC’s Projector Lamp channel is where you can
learn more about projector lamps in these verticals, as well as the use of project lamps in
childhood expression and green initiatives.
