　　功能 Features

　　Modular future-proof structure which allows quick set-up and easy serviceability

　　Upgradeable chassis which enables upgrading to future standards

　　High Contrast Mode

　　Ultimate flexibility: trade-off between brightness and contrast, depending on your application

　　In applications where you need high-contrast images, like high-quality video in an auditorium, you can select the High Contrast Mode from the menu. With this feature, a contrast ratio of > 900:1 will be attained, but the light output level will be reduced by half.

　　However, for a data presentation in a brightly lit auditorium, you can switch back to the normal brightness level.

　　Unique edge-blending software

　　When projecting on multiple-adherent screens, to obtain panoramic images, it is important to ensure a smooth overlap of the different images. Barco developed a unique software, called ScenergiX , available as an option on ELM Series. This edge-blending solution integrates images projected by two ELM projectors: the software combines the processing of the 2 projectors and projects one image without visible overlaps.

　　Direct stacking / direct hanging capacity

　　Durable internal steel frame makes the ELM the most rugged projector on the market today

　　Dual lamp power supply

　　ensures maximum reliability

　　Seamless source switching

　　Switch sources on-the-fly without distracting on-screen warning messages or irritating waiting intervals. Choose special effects like wipe in/out and dissolve to offer smooth visual transitions when switching sources.

　　No need to go to the expense of external switchers.

　　Remote control & diagnostics thanks to network connectivity

　　Thanks to the optional network interface, the ELM projector becomes an IP addressable device and allows the Facility Manager to access and manage projectors in different locations from one central point or from a remote location.

　　Status information like total runtime of the projector as well as warnings like lamp-life status can be sent to the AV Facility Manager via email, resulting in an improved and faster service.

　　This networking feature results in a lower total cost of ownership and facilitates the integration of the projection device in the company.
