Portland, Ore. – November 6, 2018 — InFocus Corporation (www.infocus.com), the industry leading innovator in digital projection, introduces three new projector lines designed to make any meeting space or classroom BYOD-capable. Nine new projector models in the IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 Series feature vibrant colors, ultra-long lamp life, secure and easy integration with popular devices, and a new whisper-quiet fan design.

The new InFocus projectors are a customizable presentation solution, with the new TechStation internal HDMI 1.4 bay that lets users simply add a Google Chromecast, Intel Computer Stick, InFocus SimpleShare, Asus Chromebit, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android TV Stick, or any other HDMI-compatible device into the bay, keeping cables and dongles neatly tucked away. Educators and presenters can then use the features of the connected HDMI device to start presenting, stream audio or video, cast content, etc. using compatible devices such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones.

Meetings, lessons, and presentations are enhanced by the impressive image quality of the IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 projectors, paired with new whisper-quiet fans using InFocus’s Smooth Flow fan design. Each new projector series is a lasting solution with ultra-long lamp life of up to 15,000 hours, 28,500:1 contrast ratio for blacker blacks, and BrilliantColor^TM DLP imaging technology for over one billion life-like colors that will show up on whiteboards, blackboards, or beige walls in any light.

“When designing these projector lines, we focused on what matters most to schools and businesses: value, image brightness, and BYOD-capability and flexibility,” said Dave Duncan, product manager, InFocus. “The IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 Series projectors make quick-start lessons and meetings easy, regardless of room size, light levels, or the presentation device.”

The IN130 and IN130ST Series were designed to suit classrooms, with a bright picture, flexible and fast integration with devices for casting, and long lamp life at a value price. The IN130 Series replaces the IN120x Series with three models, IN134, IN136, IN138HD. The IN130ST Series brings new short-throw projectors to replace the IN120STx line with IN134ST, IN136ST, and IN138HDST models for a 100-inch image from less than four feet away.

For meeting rooms and huddle spaces where connection flexibility and BYOD is essential, InFocus introduces the new IN2130 Series to replace the IN2120x Series. The three projector models, IN2134, IN2136, and IN2138HD, become an all-in-one business solution with 4,500 lumens of brightness that seamlessly displays user content from any HDMI-compatible device inserted into the TechStation feature.

All nine new projector models from InFocus include a powered HDMI port for mobile charging and device power, along with support for vibrant 3D content from video games, PC programs, and Blu-ray (with 144Hx DLP Link 3D glasses, sold separately).

The IN130, IN130ST, and IN2130 Series are available worldwide starting in mid-November with prices ranging from $700 to $1,400 U.S. MSRP. For pricing information and availability by model, please contact an InFocus authorized reseller.

Portland, Ore. – October 16, 2018 — InFocus Corporation (www.infocus.com), a leading provider of presentation solutions for collaboration and learning, announces a new line of Mondopad collaborative display solutions. Comprising 12 models designed around the specific needs and budgets of various office environments and meeting spaces, Mondopad Core, Mondopad Launch, and Mondopad Ultra are available in 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch models.

With something for every space, including lecture halls, boardrooms, or small huddle spaces, the new Mondopad line includes a suite of collaboration features to make meetings and lessons more productive. Each tier of the new line has features specific to various use cases and environments, but all 12 models are based on an easy-to-use touchscreen collaborative system with digital whiteboard, wireless casting for document, photo and video viewing and annotation, and the ability to browse the web.

“We’ve recognized that until now InFocus, as well as others in the collaboration display market, have mainly designed interactive displays and video conferencing solutions to meet the needs of enterprise-level executives with IT departments who set up and configure feature-rich systems. We realized that a segment of the market was not having its needs met by collaboration tech. With our new line-up, we’ve developed products that address all segments of the market,” said Loren Shaw, InFocus VP of Marketing. “One size does not fit all. Now our customers can choose a Mondopad model with the features they want and not worry about the ones they don’t need.”

“Collaboration That Fits” Contest

New segments of the market can explore the new Mondopad line and enter to win a Mondopad Launch through the “Collaboration That Fits” contest. Small business owners, government agencies, university professors and tech managers can enter by submitting a written nomination telling InFocus how their organization would use a flexible collaborative touchscreen solution to work together more effectively. The contest is open until December 3. For more details and to enter, visit the contest page.

Mondopad Core

Offering essential tools for collaboration without cluttering the user interface with unnecessary apps, Mondopad Core is the affordable baseline of the new Mondopad, offering a solution ideal for small businesses, government agencies, and huddle rooms. Users can utilize the 4K business-grade touchscreen with embedded Android and a suite of tools for casting, whiteboarding, viewing documents, and browsing the web.

Mondopad Core also lets users view and present documents, photos, and videos with ease, and annotate and save changes in real time. During brainstorming sessions, users can launch the interactive whiteboard and write or draw on a giant multi-screen canvas. Users can also paste backgrounds and images onto the whiteboard and annotate over the top with a complete collection of digital pens, shapes, lines, and colors. Then, send saved documents as common or secured files by email, over the office network, or save files to a USB or cloud-based service such as DropBox.

Mondopad Core can be upgraded to include a PC platform with a seventh generation Intel i7 PC to build a more powerful touchscreen solution with Windows 10 Pro.

With or without the optional PC, Mondopad Core is ideal for use in custom applications as well. Customers looking for a specialized touch solution can add their custom software solution to Mondopad Core and bring the power of touch into any space.

Mondopad Launch

Designed for organizations like universities and government agencies that need easy access to shared software and tools, such as video conferencing services, presentation apps and project management software, Mondopad Launch is a configurable solution for group workspaces. Building upon the Mondopad Core model, Mondopad Launch adds a seventh generation Intel i5-based Windows 10 Pro PC and additional customization options. It provides the fastest path to productive meetings in offices, classrooms or huddle spaces. A lock-down feature allows individual users to easily login and quickly gain access to only the apps they care about, and a customizable home screen with large, convenient buttons means meetings start quickly and the touchscreen can be easily reset before the next meeting.

A video conferencing-ready platform, Mondopad Launch includes a 4K camera for collaboration and effective face-to-face meetings no matter where meeting attendees are located. Mondopad Launch also offers a Standard Edition of Quicklaunch (with the ability to upgrade to the Professional Edition). With Quicklaunch, scheduled video calls are then easily accessible via a large button within the calendar appointment. Montage, from DisplayNote, is available on the Mondopad Launch and offers powerful casting so up to six users can easily cast and share content wirelessly from their laptops or mobile devices and annotate from their personal device on the casted image for all to see.

Mondopad Ultra

A seamlessly-integrated, premium, high-performance collaboration system that is secure and yet easy to use right out of the box, Mondopad Ultra takes collaboration to the next level. Built on a seventh generation Intel i7-based Windows 10 Pro PC, Mondopad Ultra features an integrated suite of collaboration apps including video conferencing, whiteboarding, casting, a web browser, and full Microsoft Office suite for a truly efficient face-to-face collaboration system.

Mondopad Ultra offers a complete video conferencing platform including a 4K camera, microphone, and wireless keyboard with integrated touchpad, plus ConX Cloud video conferencing subscription. When signed onto ConX Cloud or any other video conferencing solution, users in various locations can also launch ConX Whiteboard to interact and share ideas on a Mondopad Ultra whiteboard simultaneously. Users can securely connect and share content from any computer or mobile device including PCs, Macs, tablets, or smartphones, and remotely control the Mondopad screen from that device.

One of the main benefits to the Mondopad Ultra is the new Mondopad Ultra v3.0 software and mobile app, allowing users to start meetings and get to work faster. Simply login to your Office 365 account to instantly access and share information from email and attachments, calendar, documents stored on OneDrive, or SharePoint. The new v3.0 software is also compatible with all previous generations of Mondopad Ultra.

All 12 new Mondopad models are available now in the US, as well as a variety of accessories such as the SimpleShare™ Presentation System, Thunder Speakerphone, and mounting solutions for wall, floor and mobile applications. Contact an authorized InFocus reseller for pricing.
