InFocus has unveiled the next projectors in their IN2120 series – the IN2124 and IN2126. These network projectors are 3200 lumens (2500 in EcoBright mode) and are compatible with ProjectorNet 3.0, InFocus’s free asset management software. ProjectorNet 3.0 enables users to schedule automatic power-downs and receive e-mail notifications for low-lamp alerts and theft-prevention notices when a projector suddenly goes off-line.

The IN2124 is XGA resolution and the IN2126 is WXGA resolution; both are 3200 lumens (2500 in EcoBright mode) and each weighs just 4.8 pounds. They are also 3D ready and wireless capable when connected to the optional InFocus LiteShow III adapter.

The new IN2120 series projectors come with all the expected connectivity needed for business and education applications and include preset modes to optimize images on beige walls, blackboards and whiteboards. They are currently shipping with an MSRP of $679 for the IN2124 and $759 for the IN2126.

Recent projector market research from Pacific Media Associates shows that while the US projector market is relatively flat and, despite budget challenges, teachers and school districts continue to place extremely high value on technology in the classroom. These value-priced units from InFocus should resonate with the education market and SMB’s on a tight budget.
