Manufacturer Description for the Mitsubishi XL5980U Projector

Colleges, universities, and secondary educational institutions have a particular challenge in protecting their investments. High traffic volume in classrooms and an open environment after hours can sometimes lead to theft or vandalism. Mitsubishi has created a built-in alarm on their new XL5980U installation projector.

How Does the Built-in Projector Alarm Work?

A motion detector is built in to a connector panel cover, and is set manually by a key. Once the cover is placed on the projector, and the safety key removed, the projector becomes sensitive to movement. If the projector is moved, a 120-decibel high pitched alarm will sound, attracting attention and foiling a potential theft. An anti-theft alert sticker is included, and is recommended to be placed in a visible location on the projector. Note: Batteries are required, and will need to be checked periodically. A button on the projector allows for a quick and simple check.

The Mitsubishi XL5980U ColorView offers 5500 ANSI lumens, and is the only projector of its class to provide both horizontal and vertical Lens Shift, offering extreme flexibility for most installations. Once the XL5980U is in place, the picture can be readjusted optically or digitally, regardless of the screen used, without taking the projector out of its mount.

The XL5980U is fully compatible with Mitsubishi Digital's exclusive ProjectorView networking system, which connects its projectors via an external serial-to-Ethernet translator. With ProjectorView, the projectors are instantly connected to a local area network (LAN) through an assigned IP address, and controlled and monitored with a web browser from a node in the LAN or through the Internet.
