ViewSonic’s Groundbreaking Interactive White Board Projector Lets Users Virtually “Reach Through the Screen”

PJD7383i delivers powerful functionality and immersive interactivity for a complete classroom collaboration solution

LAS VEGAS – 2010 InfoComm, booth N2375 - June 08, 2010

ViewSonic® Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, today announced the PJD7383i – an ultra short throw DLP projector with interactive whiteboard functionality.

Built for flexible and engaged learning, the PJD7383i offers industry-leading educational interactivity. The included pen turns any available surface (including blackboards and greenboards) into an interactive whiteboard, allowing for cost-effective presentations. Compatibility with PowerPoint and WebEx software, in addition to a PC-less display function allowing students to present via USB, make this projector a flexible solution for all learning group sizes and setups.

Offering a deeper level of connectivity, the PJD7383i is the first in ViewSonic’s projector lineup to offer full network display functionality. With the ability to connect globally over the internet via IP and access other learning sites remotely, as well as multi-user options, allowing up to four individuals to present at once via split screen matrix, this projector offers a new level of classroom-to-classroom connectivity at a low price point.

The PJD7383i is a powerful ultra short throw DLP iProjector, which leverages BrilliantColorÔ technology to produce flawless, vibrant colors, while high brightness and contrast ratios ensure that the images are clear and crisp even in varied lighting situations. Delivering 2500 lumens with a 1024x768 XGA native resolution, the PJD7383i provides the power and interactivity of a traditional interactive white board at a fraction of the cost. With a throw ratio of just 0.61:1, the PJD7383i displays an 81” interactive image from a distance of just 39”.

The PJD7383i will be previewed for the first time at the ViewSonic InfoComm booth (#N2375). For further information on ViewSonic products, please visit ViewSonic.com or follow ViewSonic on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
