dupin67随便翻翻，大家随便看看，都是投影业界新趋势、新产品。

原文在http://www.projectorcentral.com/cedia_2008.htm，节选了我自己感兴趣的一部分。


1. Cinemascope 2.35 widescreen format was definitely in vogue in a way that it has never been in the past. Swing the proverbial dead cat, and you'd hit a booth with an anamorphic lens in it. If this show was your only exposure to home theater, you'd think that quaint old 16:9 HDTV format was a relic of the ancient past.
使用变形镜头的2.35：1超宽屏幕格式在美国越来越流行了，如果你第一次参加CEDIA展，你会认为16:9HDTV格式已经是历史了。


2. LCD technology made a significant competitive advance with new contrast ratios heretofore unheard of--up in the 60,000:1 to 75,000:1 range. And this was not just plain ole overhyped contrast ratios based just on dynamic irises. This new breed of LCD projectors were showing major improvements in black levels and apparent ANSI contrast--that is, dynamic range within a given frame. And Sony's latest high contrast SXRD model, the VPL-VW70, with contrast rated at 60,000:1, appeared to have ANSI contrast improvements similar to those of the LCD competition.
LCD技术再次进步，标称对比度高达60000：1到75000：1，不再仅仅以动态光圈噱头。新一代LCD投影机在黑位和ANSI对比度上有巨大提高。Sony最新的SXRD型号VW70，标称对比度60000：1，似乎也与其LCD竞争机型一样，在ANSI对比度上颇有改善。

3. It was eerily quiet on the DLP front. Though there were several new high-priced DLP models from the boutique vendors, those looking for new and improved DLP home theater projectors under $10,000 were disappointed. Sharp, InFocus, and Planar/Runco released no new 1080p models, and Optoma didn't even come to the show. Mitsubishi, which uses both LCD and DLP in their product line, has opted to go with LCD for their newly announced "Diamond" series projectors. Come to think of it, Texas Instruments didn't even bother to stage a DLP promotional booth in the exhibit hall, which hasn't happened in our recent memory. Meanwhile, of the latest high-end DLP models, contrast ratings remain in the 10,000:1 to 15,000:1 range where they have been for the last year or two.
DLP战线令人不安的寂静。虽然有数个奢侈品牌发布了几台高价位DLP，但是10000美元一下家用DLP投影机的发布让人失望。Sharp，InFocus，Planar/Runco未发布新的1080p型号，Optoma没有参展。同时拥有LCD和DLP产品线的三菱选择用LCD技术发布其新一代“Diamond”系列投影机。仔细想想，德州仪器甚至都懒得搭建一个DLP宣传展台，这个在我们的记忆中还从来没有过。同时，最新的高端DLP型号对比度指标仍然停留在最近这两年de 10000：1到15000：1。

Noteworthy Product Releases
值得注意的新产品

The most intriguing product release of the show, in our view, was the Panasonic PT-AE3000. Why? It has several features which collectively make it a unique proposition for the mass consumer 1080p home theater marketplace. Not only does it have substantially improved black levels and apparent ANSI contrast compared to its predecessor, the AE2000, but it has two other new features that should earn it a great deal of consumer interest: (1) lens memory, and (2) frame interpolation.
最吸引眼球的是Panasonic AE3000。因为它具有几个可以让它从众多1080p家庭影院投影机中脱颖而出的功能。不仅仅是相比AE2000明显改进的黑位和ANSI对比度，它还具有两个最具关注性的新功能：1，镜头位置记忆；2，帧插值。

AE3000's memory enables the user to set the lens in a position for 2.35 widescreen Cinemascope viewing, and memorize that lens position. Then the lens can be zoomed to fit a 16:9 image into the height of a 2.35 screen, and that lens position is memorized as well. With these settings, the projector will automatically reconfigure itself at the press of a button for either 2.35 or 16:9 viewing. Essentially, what you get is the widescreen 2.35 and native 16:9 viewing experience without the cost or
nuisance of an anamorphic lens. As far as we know, this is the only projector on the market that has this feature, and it should attract a great deal of consumer attention.
AE3000提供镜头位置记忆，可以记住对于一个2.35：1屏幕，投射出2.35：1画面和16：9画面的镜头位置，之后，只要一键就可以在两种镜头设置之间切换。本质上讲，你可以在不配置变形镜头的情况下享受2.35：1宽屏幕和原生16:9观看体验。据我们所知，这是市场上唯一一台具备此功能的投影机，一定会吸引大量的消费者。


In addition, the AE3000 offers what Panasonic calls "Frame Creation" or frame interpolation. When displaying 1080p/60, it will generate half-step frame interpolations, and play them at 120 frames per second. The advantage is that it eliminates the motion blur that some users find objectionable on LCD projectors. Based on the demo we saw, the feature seems to work quite effectively. However, we are anxious to see it with our own sources and test clips before making any final assessment. Panasonic expects to be shipping the AE3000 by the end of October, and as of this writing, the price has not yet been established.
除此之外，AE3000还提供了被称为“Frame Creation"的帧插值功能，即对1080p/60的信号插值为120帧每秒。其好处在于，它可以消除LCD投影机上一些用户觉得很讨厌的动作模糊现象。基于我们看到的demo，该功能确实有效。然而，我们急切地盼望在下结论之前能使用我们自己的信号源和测试片段试试。预计Panasonic将在10月底发布AE3000，目前价格未定。

1080p的时代到来了，偶就希望720p的快快降价。

Epson released a series of new home theater projectors including the ProCinema 7500 UB and the Home Cinema 6500 UB, both rated at 75,000:1 contrast and up to 1600 lumens. They offered an outstanding demo of the 7500 UB in a black viewing room, with the projector being fitted with a Panamorph anamorphic lens. The film demo clip showed the projector was capable of extraordinary black levels and excellent shadow detail. The 7500 UB and 6500 UB also have what they call "FineFrame" Technology, which is similar to Panasonic's Frame Creation, and is intended to suppress motion blur. They also feature Silicon Optix HQV Reon-VX video processing. These two models are expected to ship in December. Prices have not yet been declared, although the 7500 UB will come to market under $5,000.
Epson发布了一系列新机器，包括ProCinema 7500 UB和Home Cinema 6500 UB，都标称75000：1对比度以及最高1600流明。他们在一间全黑房间中提供了极好的7500 UB的demo，使用了Panamorph的变形镜头。电影片段显示出投影机能够产生非凡的黑色层次和优秀的阴影细节。7500 UB和6500 UB都具有被称为”FineFrame"的技术，类似于Panasonic的Frame Creation，目标也是抑制运动模糊。两机都配备了Silicon Optix HQV Reon-VX视频处理器。这两台机器定于12月发布，价格未宣布，虽然7500 UB将会以5000美元以内的价格上市。


Epson also introduced two lower priced 1080p models, the Pro Cinema 7100 and Home Cinema 6100. These are slightly brighter at up to 1800 lumens, and have lower 18,000:1 contrast ratings. They do not have the FineFrame technology, nor do they have the Silicon Optix HQV processing. But they do have extended lamp life, up to 4000 hours in low lamp mode, which will be an attractive feature for users who put many hours of use on their projectors. The 7100 and 6100 are scheduled to ship in November, and they are more aggressively priced than the 7500 and 6500--the 7100 is $2,995 and the 6100 is $1,995.
Epson还发布了两个价格较低的1080p型号，Pro Cinema 7100和Home Cinema 6100。亮度稍稍高于1800流明，具有较低的18000：1对比度指标。没有搭载FineFrame技术，也没有搭载Silicon Optix HQV处理芯片。但是它们具有延长的灯泡寿命，在低功率模式下最长达4000小时，对于投影狂人很有吸引力。7100和6100定于11月发布，定价较7500和6500而言更为激进--7100为2995美元，6100为1995美元。

Mitsubishi released its first two Diamond Series projectors, the HC7000U and the HC6500U. Both are 1080p LCD units, with contrast ratings of 72,000:1 and 15,000:1 respectively. Both have Silicon Optix HQV Reon-VX processing on board. Both models have two anamorphic operating modes that allow the user to integrate an anamorphic lens without a track or rail. The anamorphic lens can be left in position no matter what type of material is being viewed. The user simply selects the appropriate scaling mode for the format of the material. This saves the substantial cost of the motorized track, or the cost and nuisance of manually moving the anamorphic lens on a manual track. These new Diamond Series projectors are shipping this month, and we look forward to reviewing them soon. The HC7000U is priced at $3,995, and the HC6500U is $2,995.
三菱发布了Diamond系列的最初两个型号，HC7000U和HC6500U，都是1080p LCD产品，对比度指标分别为72000：1和15000：1，都有板载Silicon Optix Reon-VX处理器。两个型号都具有两种变形镜头运行模式，允许用户在无需导轨的情况下使用变形镜头。Diamond系列本月发布，我们期待很快对其进行评测。HC7000U定价3995美元，HC6500定价2995美元。

Sony added two new 1080p models to their line of home theater projectors. Both are built around the company's SXRD technology, which is their proprietary version of LCOS. The new VPL-VW70 is priced at $8,000, above the VPL-VW60 which remains in production. It features a contrast rating of 60,000:1, which is the highest contrast projector Sony has yet released with SXRD. Meanwhile, the VPL-HW10 is Sony's new entry level model, replacing the VW40. It has a contrast rating of 30,000:1, and is priced at $3,500. The VW70 will be in restricted distribution when it ships in November. The HW10 will ship at the end of this month, and will be in open distribution.
Sony给其家庭影院投影机产品线增加了两个新的1080p型号。均使用该公司的SXRD技术，即Sony版本的LCOS。新的VW70定价8000美元，定位在VW60之上（后者继续生产）。具有60000：1对比度，是Sony迄今以SXRD技术发布的投影机中最高的。同时，HW10作为Sony最新的入门级型号，代替VW40，对比度为30000：1，定价3500美元。VW70将从11月开始限制性发售，HW10将于本月底开始公开发售（注，限制性发售即只能在制定代理商处获得、不能网购；公开发售即可以网购）。

Sanyo never attends CEDIA because their products are not distributed by CEDIA dealers and custom installers. However, the company usually releases new home theater models concurrent with the industry release activity driven by this show. This year Sanyo announced two aggressively priced projectors, the PLV-Z700 and the PLV-Z60. The Z700 is an LCD-based 1080p model rated at 10,000:1 contrast, 1000 lumens, with a retail price of $1,995. The Z60 is an entry level LCD home theater projector with 1280x720 resolution, also rated at 10,000:1 contrast, and selling for a retail of $1,295. Both of these will begin shipping by the end of this month, and we plan to have reviews done by the time they hit the market.
Sanyo从未参加CEDIA展，因为其产品不是由CEDIA认证商家和制定经销商发售的。然而，该公司通常在CEDIA展的同时发布新的家庭影院投影机型号。本年度Sanyo发布了两台定价激进的投影机，PLV-Z700和PLV-Z60。Z700是基于LCD的1080p型号，对比度10000：1，1000流明，零售价格1995美元。Z60是入门级LCD，1280*720解像度，同样10000：1对比度，零售价格1295美元。两台机器都将从本月底开始发售，我们计划在其上市之初对其进行评测。

DLP似乎没落了

JVC continues to sell the popular DLA-RS1X and DLA-RS2, and has just added two new 1080p models to their line. They are the DLA-RS10 and DLA-RS20. These are intended to be lower priced alternatives, but our current information has them priced at the same level as the RS1X and RS2. We will need to research this a bit further to see what's up.
JVC继续售卖RS1X和RS2（注：即HD1的改良版和HD100），并且有两个新的1080p加入产品线，RS10和RS20。定位与前面两台机器的低价替代产品，但是我们目前的信息是它们定价与RS1X和RS2相同。我们将需要继续跟进。

晚上加班，回家翻译，好累，睡觉了！

费解的是，在日本本土已经公告将于9月底停产HD1和HD100,10月停售；
"...This projector is available till the end of September, 2008.
We will Not sell it from October, 2008."

期待RS10和RS20了

毕竟750和350不便宜；

D版的英文水平刚刚的，太强了。

支持LCD进步，DLP价格太高傲了，而且缺点也不少。

感谢D版的付出, 给我们带来投影方面的最新资讯! 顺祝D版及家人身体健康, 中球节快乐! 虽说我们希望看到D版更多的精彩翻译文章, 但还是希望D版不要熬夜太多喲!

有个问题憋在心里很久了, 顺便请教D版:

松下在中国耕耘多年, 可以说是最早在中国投资的日本电子企业, 松下的教育和商务投影机在电脑城也很常见, 但其家用投影机AE2000为什么不以行货形式进入国内? 嫌国人消费水平不够? SONY的VW-200以及其它品牌的高价位产品都在国内大行其道, 会买不起AE2000?

鉴于AE1000和AE2000的外形完全相同, 是否松下以AE2000水货的名义在国内处理其积压的AE1000?
不然为什么本论坛认证商家爱威影音和达明壹派在其淘宝店介绍AE2000芯片时均注明D6-HTPS?

还有, SANYO Z2000水货价12200元左右, 行货Z2000C不过14500元还送幕布. 但AE2000香港本地行货售价在2.5万左右,大陆水货竟然不到16500元, 是否差距过大? 所以, 我很怀疑AE2000水货其实只是AE1000的改版机 (手机领域改版机就非常多, 不信去手机网页查查看)!

这个问题我之前确实没有注意过，你这么一说的确有奇怪之处。

有没有论坛上AE2000的用家们献身说法？

日本厂家经常不把某些型号放到大陆发行。
说实话，现在日企的管理方式也很混乱，不是很符合潮流了。
