RICOH Introduces The Ultra-Smart, Ultra-Light, Ultra-Flexible PJ WX4130N Projector

The essential easy-to-use tool for perfect presentations

Kuala Lumpur, 04 April, 2012 – RICOH, known around the world for cutting-edge innovation and outstanding products and services, presents the groundbreaking RICOH PJ WX4130N projector.

Smart, sleek and easy to use, this unique device was found to be the world’s lightest, smallest and closest-range mirror reflection type projector based on research conducted by RICOH.Margaret Mo, Marketing Manager at RICOH Malaysia said the company intends to change the game when it comes to high-quality visual presentations for business, education or leisure. “Our state-of-the-art projector represents the next generation of visual aids,” she explained. “It offers a new, innovative, 21st century approach to giving presentations and with the simple settings and advanced network functions, it can be used anywhere and operated by just about anyone.”

The PJ WX4130N elevates and simplifies the art of presenting visual information thanks to the ultra short-throw feature, which creates crystal clear large-screen images of 48 inches when placed just 11.7 cm away from the projection surface. This means it can be placed virtually right in front of the screen. Standard projectors and ordinary short-throw projectors need a distance of at least 1 to 3 meters for comparable results.
Mo explained: “The ultra short throw capability is made possible with the use of an original free-form mirror, which is an exclusive innovation by RICOH,” She added that the ultra short throw function opens up a world of remarkable space-saving benefits. “The projector can be used for presentations in really small rooms or places that were previously considered too narrow so your options are almost limitless. You won’t need huge conference rooms anymore!”

The ultra short throw feature also easily eliminates other challenges that contribute to low quality presentations like shadows caused by the silhouette of the presenter and distracting glare. The RICOH PJ WX4130N can be placed between the presenter and the screen, eliminating shadows as well glare. This means the audience can concentrate on the images, which appear on the screen without unnecessary distractions.
Weighing in at just 3.0 kg, this projector is ideal for use in various locations as it is easily transportable. Another handy feature is the wall colour correction, which can be used to adjust the colour of the projected image according to the colour of the background for high-quality pictures.

Portability and colour correction equal incredible flexibility because the projector is ready to be used in open spaces such as cafeterias, school laboratories or corridors for a quick, effective paperless meeting or seminar.

This impressive flexibility also means the projector can take on a wide variety of creative roles. It can be used as an electric poster or to show promotional videos at expos and conferences. It is also perfect for running advertisements in retail stores or for screening live sports performances at sports bars.

The RICOH PJ WX4130N projector is also an environment-friendly device. It consumes just 0.17Watts of power when on standby mode and the special eco mode cuts lamp intensity and power consumption by 25% while in use. When the power is off, the projector accurately indicates carbon dioxide reduction levels.

Aside from these fantastic functions, RICOH’s high-tech projector offers a host of other user-friendly and versatile features including:

• a multi-functional remote control that can be used to operate the projectors from a distance.
• a USB memory drive, which allows a USB with the relevant files to be plugged directly into the projector for computer-free presentations (JPEG & MPEG files only).
• quick start feature so the projectors can start up in just 5 seconds .
• an auto set function which can adjust images at the touch of a button.
• a ‘magnify’ button on the remote control to easily enlarge images.
• a standard accessory Kensington Lock that effectively prevents theft.
• an AV Mute and Freeze button on the remote control, which can be used to efficiently pause both image and audio in the middle of a presentation.
• a no-fuss, single cable connection to a Blu-Ray Disc player, computer or other device for clear high-definition images.
• password setting and key lock that prevents unauthorized use of the projector or unwanted adjustments while it is in use.
• a unique DLP Link Technology that enables the projectors to screen 3D images.
• a multi screen function which allows the content from one computer to be projected on up to four screens.

Mo said there is a fundamental philosophy that propels RICOH to create versatile, user-friendly products: “At RICOH, our key driving force is to produce extraordinarily advanced technology presented in an extraordinarily easy to use form. We have achieved this goal with our innovative projectors which make flexibility and freedom of expression not just a possibility but a reality.”
