Ricoh reveals a breakthrough in ultra-short-distance projection

Thanks to the combination of a compact vertical design and the innovative free-form mirror system designed by Ricoh, PJ WX4130 and PJ WX4130N ultra-short-haul projectors bring the industry's cutting-edge technology to the tightest spaces, showing large, bright high-definition images.

Ricoh has presented the first ultra-short distance projectors, capable of displaying high-definition images of 48 diagonal inches when placed within five centimeters of a wall or screen. This new technology, that weighs only 6,6 Pounds, allows entrepreneurs to comfortably execute powerful presentations on the go in the smallest spaces.

Using Ricoh's shape-shaped mirror and free deflection technology, PJ WX4130/PJ WX4130N projectors use a concave mirror to diffuse image reflection, allowing for a wide viewing angle while keeping the optical system small. This also reduces the need for a bright light source.. The result is a more compact portable projector that uses fewer resources and produces less noise and heat to offer users greater comfort during meetings and presentations..

Unlike ceiling-mounted short-distance projectors, that are fixed, the PJ WX4130 and PJ WX4130N can be placed on a table or stand and project upwards. Its vertical orientation means that the depth of the projector and the hollow of the wall together take up less than a foot of space along the wall., preserving a table space that traditional projectors would occupy. Placing the projector up to 9,6 inches of the wall offers a bright image of 1280 X 800 of 80 inches of high definition WXGA.

The PJ WX4130 and PJ WX4130N are ideal for conference rooms, bureaux, small and medium-sized enterprises, meeting and classroom spaces. Because it can be placed so close to the wall and can throw such a large image, This compact projector is suitable for a wide range of applications beyond the traditional meeting room and presentation spaces, including digital signage at trade fairs, shops, restaurants and hotels. The same advantages make the PJ WX4130 and PJ WX4130N ideal for video conferencing and other display applications.

2.500 Lumens

Ricoh's PJ WX4130 and PJ WX4130N offer several advantages beyond their portability and efficient use of space. Due to its proximity to the wall, the presenter never stands between the projector and the presentation, and the powerful 2.500 lumens at least of light do not shine in anyone's eyes. Minimal heat and noise are limited to the wall area, no to the center of the meeting room, eliminating what can be an uncomfortable environment for attendees. They also have a quick ignition, offering an on-screen image in about three seconds, and the unit can be quickly turned off and placed in stand-by mode that uses minimal power (0.17W for PJ WX4130).

Multiple units can be used to create extremely large and wide images when combined with advanced mixing software such as Scalable Display Technologies. The PJ WX4130 and PJ WX4130N can also transform any existing flat surface into an interactive whiteboard when combined with Luidia's eBeam Edge.

Different connection routes

An HDMI input provides the highest quality video from DVD players and Blu-ray players. The network version, the PJ WX4130N, can connect wirelessly. Other connection options include DVI input, USB disk or digital camera.

iPads can be wirelessly connected to the projector via the Ricoh Presenter app. The app allows you to share an iPad presentation wirelessly with a maximum of 10 iPads on the same network, creating a powerful presentation environment that connects the projector with personal smart technology.

Shun Sato, Ricoh Vice President of Marketing, Said: “Ricoh's mission is to provide a more efficient and productive work environment. These new projectors, in combination with ricoh's other advanced office equipment and service offerings, will bring new efficiency in the workplace. They are a reflection of the depth of innovation that encompasses all technologies and processes in our service portfolio., that helps our customers reduce costs, eliminate expense and streamline workflows.”
