LP-XC55 : Sanyo présente 2 nouveaux projecteurs portables

Sanyo a présenté deux nouveaux projecteurs portables, les LP-XC55 et LP-XC50 qui sont équipés du système AMF (Active Maintenance Filter). Avec ce système, vous n’aurez plus besoin de toucher à votre filtre pendant à peu près un an et semble très facile à changer. Par ailleurs, ce projecteur est équipé d’un HP de 7W, ce qui vous évitera de trimballer vos HPs lors d’une présentation. Sinon, il propose des fonctions comme le « Auto Set-up function », qui permet de détecter automatiquement la source.
