Toshiba has announced the TDP-EW25U projector. This new DLP BrilliantColor widescreen projector is one of the industry's first wireless network projectors compatible with Microsoft Vista Ultimate's "Meeting Space" functionality for remote sharing of presentation files. Designed for education, mobile professionals, corporate customers, small-to-medium sized businesses, consumers for home digital entertainment and Pro AV installations, the TDP-EW25U projector's "extreme short projection" technology can produce a 60-inch image from just 2.4 feet away and allows the projector to be placed or mounted closer to the screen so that the amount of ambient light that can degrade the image quality is reduced, resulting in a more luminous image.

The projector also features Windows Vista networking capabilities integrated wireless functionality for remarkably quick and easy presentation set up, as well as remote network management and extensive multimedia connectivity.

When ceiling mounted, the TDP-EW25U projector's "extreme short projection" technology eliminates eye glare and screen shadowing when the presenter is close to the screen. When used as a portable projector, the "extreme short projection" and 100-percent optical offset lens projects the image up and out, allowing for placement of the unit at various table heights, such as on a credenza, at the end of a desk, conference table or even a low coffee table. The TDP-EW25U projector can also be used with an interactive whiteboard.

The TDP-EW25U projects fine text and images with an impressive 2,600 ANSI lumens and a rich, vibrant DLP BrilliantColor display. The DLP BrilliantColor technology utilizes up to six separate colors: red, blue, green, cyan, yellow and magenta for a wider variety of accurate, vibrant colors that won't fade over time. BrilliantColor technology enables up to a 50 percent increase in the brightness of colors. The projector also features a WXGA 1280 x 800 native resolution, razor sharp contrast ratio of 2000:1 and offers on-the-go professionals the option to deliver "PC-free" presentations with a USB thumb drive by simply storing the presentation in JPEG format and connecting to the USB port.

Users can also expect seamless presentations with remote network management from this projector. The TDP-EW25U can be networked and controlled remotely via a wired LAN connection, which is password protected for increased security. The Toshiba TDP-EW25U projector's network capability also allows IT administrators to remotely control the projector over a network and receive e-mail notification via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for issues related to temperature, fan and lamp status.

HDTV/DTV compatible, Toshiba's TDP-EW25U integrates data, video and audio features necessary for today's high-end multimedia presentations. The projector comes packaged in a sleek, high-tech casing with multiple computer inputs (two RGB 15-pin), two video inputs for composite and S-video, two components (shared with computer inputs), one-watt stereo speaker, type A USB port and both wired and wireless connectivity options. Other features unique to the TDP-EW25U include variable audio out, digital zoom and auto set, which allows users to automatically synchronize the settings between their PCs and the projector.

The Toshiba TDP-EW25U projector also includes the following leading-edge features:
- Windows Vista network capabilities allows presenters to wirelessly transfer JPEG files from a notebook with ease, for slide show presentations or images embedded in documents;
- Built-in IEEE 802.11g wireless functionality delivers fast set-up time and enables presenters to easily connect their wireless notebooks to the projector from anywhere in the room, and deliver sequential presentations without the need for cables;
- Toshiba's unique Natural Color Enhancer color correction circuitry, delivering exceptionally sharp and vivid images that more closely match original presentation colors;
- "Blackboard" function with wall color adjustment. Simply select a wall color, such as green, black, brown, blue or beige, for a clearer display on non-screen surfaces;
- One-touch auto setup on a fully-loaded presentation remote to ensure worry-free, professional presentations even in the most unforgiving environments;
- Digital zoom function on the remote control allows the presenter to zoom in on a specific image or presentation element, such as spreadsheet numbers or other important details;
- Password protection and key-lock function to help prevent unauthorized use;
- Instant power shut down capability that enables the projector to power off instantly once disconnected from the power outlet with no cool-down time required;
- Automatic digital keystone correction system, allowing presenters to adjust errors quickly and easily for a proportional, squared display;
- Whisper-quiet operation of only 28 decibels (dB) (in low mode) – quieter than a soft conversation;
- In addition, the projector features convenient lamp access on the top panel for easy lamp replacement, even when the projector is ceiling mounted.
