PowerLite 745c Multimedia Projector
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 PM
"Epson presents this mobile video projector. Some specifications are: 2500 lumens, Automatic Trapezoid Compensation and Direct Power-on Function, a 1024x768 resolution and a PCMCIA port that will accept a WiFi card for example. Price should be around 3600 Euros."
The article doesn't explicitly mention that this is the 745c but the PCMCIA slot appears to narrow it down to this one. I wish there were more details on that PCMCIA slot, but there doesn't appear to be much, even off of the Epson site. For example, I can't tell whether I can pop in a CF storage unit attached to a PCMCIA sleeve and then project data off of it. However, the wireless capability seems very nice because it reduces the hassle of wires. I have often been stuck teaching in rooms where there is no fixed projector and standing in the middle of the room with my laptop attached to a portable projector is a hassle. This would be the perfect fix. Price is listed at 3600 Euros, but I can find it for under USD$2900.
