ViewSonic ViewPad 10pro Buyer's Manual page 6

Collaborative business technology
Over the last five years, the requirements of business buyers have evolved. The old
meeting room projectors are increasingly being replaced by new models which sup-
port collaborative working. Business users not only want brighter, clearer images
for viewing in daylight conditions, they also want greater connectivity options and an
expanded set of features to support greater energy efficiency, lower cost of ownership
and improved ease-of-use.
For these buyers replacing their legacy models with a new ViewSonic projector makes
sense both in terms of functionality and cost of ownership. Even in the budget cat-
egory, today's business projectors are completely different animals to those available
five years ago.

The demands placed on business projectors are as
diverse as the technology solutions. The projector is
the means of content delivery for all manner of digital
media to support decision making. New demands
include:
n Collaboration: The use of meeting room projectors
as collaboration tools is a prime example of changing
patterns of use and demands greater connectivity.
n Media: Rich media content is now a feature of many
presentations, placing greater demands on projector
performance and image quality. ViewSonic's projector
range offers considerable variety of connectivity op-
tions, including HD sources including HDMI.
n Ease of use: Business users are often confronted
with unfamiliar hardware as they move from location
to location, or even room-to-room. ViewSonic has
incorporated intuitive interfaces and controls into its
projectors, with ease-of-use paramount.
Interactivity: The interactive projector is the new
n
dry-wipe board for today's offices and meeting spaces.
This compact device supports both presentations
and collaboration, using ViewSonic's Interactive Pen
technology to annotate the projected image.
n Reliability: Frequently reported problems by business
users of projectors include image quality, usually result-
ing from failing lamps or dirty filters. ViewSonic has
reduced the maintenance overhead by increasing lamp
life and guarding against dust with sealed optics.
n Remote management: With network enabled mod-
els, operation can now be conducted remotely via the
network, Some projectors can be focused, tilted, lens
shifted and even powered off or on from a web browser
in the engineer or IT manager's office.
n Cost of ownership: To reduce the total cost of owner-
ship, ViewSonic has focused its efforts on technolo-
gies which cut overall energy consumption, so reducing
the costs of operation and the environmental impact of
the projector.
