Hitachi cp x2510 manual

This should be more than enough for a medium-sized boardroom or classroom, but larger auditoriums or halls might want additional video inputs. Using it at the minimum projection distance of 90cm will create a 30in image, while using it at the maximum distance of 9m results in a in screen. The Hitachi CP-X has a high brightness level at lumens. This may be lower than the Viewsonic PJ , but we found it was bright enough for use in areas with direct fluorescent lighting. Contrast is significantly higher than the Viewsonic projector at in the optimised Presentation mode, projecting images with a decent level of colour depth and detail.

It is more than enough for simple presentations and graphs, but there may be some loss of detail when playing videos. A standard XGA resolution of x means the Hitachi CP-X has plenty of screen real estate to accommodate complicated slides — although we would have liked a widescreen option.

The fan of the projector can be loud in maximum brightness mode, with a rated output of 35dB. Enabling the economy mode drops audible noise down to 29dB, which is more bearable but decreases image brightness.

Primarily we were concerned with setting the right Black and White levels, something made easy by our Avia Pro DVD you could also use Windows Media Center's built-in calibration controls.

After a few adjustments on the projector mount, and adjusting the height of the screen, we were soon testing the true quality of the output. After setting up the projector we allowed the Auto Keystone function to straighten out the picture which was displaying on our SI Screens electric drop screen. The Auto Keystone definitely helped, but it didn't nail the image perfectly. With a quick surf through the user manual, we flipped the Keystone setting to Manual and made a few minor adjustments.

Colors were perfect and quite vivid — the ANSI lumens were definitely enough to fill our 80" screen with plenty of light, even with the conference room lights on. The lines seemed very crisp and defined, and with the lights dimmed the Hitachi revealed an even sharper picture with better contrast. One noticeable con was the native, x resolution. Most laptops are now widescreen, as was the one we were using to test.

This proved difficult finding a resolution that would fit our screen, with the use of our widescreen hp laptop. The key was using a compatible or resolution and then engaging the computer signal scaling mode on the Hitachi CP-X Once we had everything set up and working, we never really had to touch the projector over the next several weeks.

Since our projector was mounted on a motorized lift that lowered from the ceiling, it was quite impressive when clients came over and experienced the full automated presentation process. After many uses and many lifts up and down from above, the projector remained focused and aimed correctly. Hitachi's CP-X projector is an excellent value and a great performer.

It's an incredible bargain given its features and quality. It is bright, crisp and has the flexibility to be used in a myriad of situations. The Keystoning capability and color controls means that power users will be able to successfully dial it in for presentation use with little difficulty. For those hoping to bring it home for home theater use there are other models and options which might make for a better choice.

The scoring below is based on each piece of equipment doing the duty it is designed for. The numbers are weighed heavily with respect to the individual cost of each unit, thus giving a rating roughly equal to:.

Read Review. The ANSI lumen rating measures the brightest white that a projector can produce by averaging nine light meter measurements taken across the projected image.

BUYER BEWARE Either this projector's brightness specification does not cite an industry-accepted unit of measurement, or according to our calculations it seems unlikely that this projector is capable of producing the manufacturer's cited brightness specification.
