New SH940 Brings More Brightness, Simple Operation, and Lower Total Cost of Ownership for Large Venue Applications TORONTO — Feb. 28, 2013 — BenQ Canada Corp., an internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations and global DLP
® projector leader, today introduced the SH940, its latest high-brightness, large-venue projector. With native full HD 1080p resolution, the device offers flexible installation features, Hollywood Quality Video (HQV), and is specifically designed to bring exciting A/V experiences to large spaces at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
To provide flawless projection to any surface or ambient light setting, the SH940 comes equipped with 4,000 lumens of brightness, a high contrast ratio of 50000:1, and a detail-enhancing HQV processor that provides amazing picture quality to any of today’s conference room or lecture hall environments. The projector also offers picture-in-picture display and full connectivity to create an integrated entertainment media hub.
“The SH940 is a complete, cost-effective projection solution that combines superior image quality, fast installation, and flexible connectivity to suit any A/V media requirement,” said Mike Booker, Vice President of Sales at BenQ Canada Corp. “Built for both business professionals and educators, we’ve combined powerful features such as native 1080p resolution with energy-saving technology to create a fast, simple, and eco-friendly workflow that will inspire, entertain, and engage the audience.”
To decrease set-up time to enable more efficient presentations, the projector offers big zoom capabilities, horizontal/vertical lens shifting, 2D keystone correction, and throw ratios of up to 2.43. Installation is also accelerated with connectivity options such as dual HDMI
® and D-sub ports, in addition to a set of five BNC connections, which enable inputs to several sources and devices for the ultimate in multimedia convergence. The SH940 is compatible with leading professional switching and signal processing equipment, and is also fully GSA compliant.
For IT managers maintaining facility-wide installations, features such as scheduling, monitoring, email alerts, and control of multiple A/V gear are all provided through an intuitive user interface to make maintenance easier. With a LAN control feature, the SH940 also provides support for Crestron
®, SNMP, PJLink
®, and AMX
® systems, enabling remote management and control in addition to projector maintenance from workstations.
To reduce energy costs, power-saving features such as an “Eco Blank Mode” allow presenters to blank out the projection screen whenever the projector is not in use, while a standby mode will lower power consumption to less than 0.5W while the SH940 is inactive. Lamp replacement has also been made extra easy with access from the side or top of the projector while a filter-free optical system and BenQ’s no color decay further reduces the TCO of the device.
The SH940 is available now at an MSRP of $3,999 (CAD). More
