Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

What is advanced polysilicon technology?

Basically, it is an advanced manufacturing process that deposits polycrystalline silicon on a plate. This high-

temperature deposition of polycrystalline silicon creates a definite crystal structure in defined regions of the

plate. The result is a silicon LCD that allows a sharp image to be transmitted.

What differentiates the Polaview 315 LCD Projector from other high-resolution projectors?

The Polaview 315 High-Resolution LCD Projector offers a rich feature set that makes it the optimal portable

desktop projection solution for the workstation market.

Differentiating features include:

•

The Polaview 315 is compatible at video card parameters not universally compatible with all computers.

With a data rate of up to 135 MHz and horizontal sweep frequency up to 81 KHz, the Polaview 315 can

accommodate workstations in XGA and SXGA resolution modes within the video card parameters. Even the

most demanding workstation applications can be displayed in vivid detail. Supported resolutions include

VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600), XGA (1024 x 768 and compressed 1280 x 1024).

• Very bright image At 600 ANSI lumens with 24-bit color, the Polaview 315 LCD Projector provides the

brightest image available. Fine detail is clearly visible, even in large, brightly-lit rooms.

• Unprecedented ease-of-use The Polaview 315 offers full plug-and-play compatibility, with the cables you

need included. Convenient on-screen menuing and a straightforward, intuitive user interface further

enhance the Polaview 315. Control capabilities on both the remote and the keypad deliver true flexibility.

• Unique Picture-in-Picture capability Double Windows, power electronic zoom and focus, and keystone

correction also separate the Polaview 315 from other LCD projectors.

• PCMCIA card for computer-free presentations.

• Electronic keystone correction for geometric image integrity.

What are some of the applications for which the Polaview 315 is best suited?

The ability to run at a workstation’s XGA resolution mode makes it the plug-and-play solution for MCAD,

ECAD, electronic design automation and other engineering applications. 3D models are effectively rendered,

images can be rotated and animated, and the complexity of architectural drawings is displayed.

The unit’s ability to project vivid colors enables it to display multi-dimensional GIS visuals like

mapping in sharp relief. This permits easy review and analysis by utilities, geoscientists, and in military

applications where continuous real-time information can be viewed while operators simultaneously interact

with the system on their own monitors. Such simultaneous real-time viewing also permits oil and gas

exploration teams to collaboratively review data. Because it allows the sharing of dense, text-intensive

information, the Polaview 315 is the perfect tool for financial analysis, data analysis and other tasks that

require numerous open windows.

PV315 Binder/PDF 1/18/98 1:59 PM Page 7

Will the Polaview 315 work with my workstation?

The Polaview 315 is compatible with workstations at given computer video driver board parameters. Please

refer to your video card manual. The Polaview 315 is also compatible with SXGA resolution but only if the

video card is running at the proper parameters.

What is the advantage of electronic keystone correction?

A menu-driven device, electronic keystone correction squares an image on the screen, from 3 to 15 degrees, at the

touch of a button — even if the projector is not perfectly perpendicular to the screen. Electronic keystone

correction also produces an image with greater overall integrity and can project it from any distance in the room.

And because the Polaview 315 is a ceiling-mountable projector, you can adjust the keystone to picture application

without manually going to the projector.

What are the benefits of the space pointer remote device?

The Polaview 315 space pointer puts total control of all projector functions in the hands of the user. The space

pointer provides extra-smooth cursor control. It also offers a variety of drawing functions, such as “paint brush”

for highlighting key information.

What file formats does PCMCIA handle, and where can they be purchased?

PCMCIA can handle JPEG and TIFF file formats. There are many manufacturers of PCMCIAcards. They can be

purchased in local retail computer stores or from Mac or PC catalogs. (Which card you purchase depends upon

the size of your PowerPoint presentation.)

What are Polaview 315 PCMCIA memory card capacities?

For PCMCIA memory card capacities, please refer to the matrix on page 6 of this reference guide.

What are the unique advantages of Picture-in-Picture?

The Polaview 315 is the only projector with the Picture-in-Picture feature. As a double source application,

Picture-in-Picture allows the user to pre-select an area of the main image to be expanded into a Picture-in-Picture

window. That area can be relocated around the screen or “swapped” with the main image. The zoom feature is

another unique advantage of Picture-in-Picture. Zoom allows the user to scroll about the main image at any time

with the space pointer to highlight a new area to be expanded into a Picture-in-Picture window. The scrolling

feature is a single source application. With the “double windows” option, two equally sized images can be

displayed side-by-side on the screen.

Polaview 110 LCD Projector

Polaview 315 LCD Projector

SprintScan 35 Film Scanner Family

Are video and audio supported?

The Polaview 315 provides integrated digital video for the finest multimedia presentations. It is compatible

with all worldwide video standards (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) as well as S-Video. It features inputs for two

computers, video sources and PCMCIAcards. For audio, the Polaview 315 has dual-watt speakers.

How does this new product fit into Polaroid’s projection product line?

Polaroid offers a complete line of projection products designed to meet the needs of nearly any user. Built on

a foundation of award-winning image quality, broad computer compatibility, and ease-of-use, the company’s

product line can be broken into two broad categories: LCD projectors and LCD panels. Projectors are

intended for users who prefer the convenience, security and added brightness of an integrated light source.

Panels are intended for users who are primarily interested in flexibility and portability.

The Polaview 315 belongs at the top of the projector line. It is a premium, high-resolution,

multimedia LCD projector with an extensive feature set not found in other low-end projectors. This

advanced projector features 600 ANSI lumens, PCMCIA card capability, keystone correction, Double

Windows, and is the only projector with Picture-in-Picture capability.

Why is the Polaview 315 LCD Projector an ideal replacement for applications traditionally

served by CRT projectors?

• Brighter image 600 ANSI lumens vs. 150-250.

• Lower purchase price $12,000 (U.S. MSRP) vs. $15,000-$25,000.

• Lower maintenance costs CRT projectors typically have three CRTs requiring replacement every

5,000-10,000 hours at a cost of $2500-$3,500 each. All servicing must also be done by a trained technician.

• Easier to set up and use A trained technician is required for tuning and maintenance. CRT projectors

require frequent tuning for maintaining good image quality.

• Comparable broad resolution and Auto Scan compatibility

• Comparable RS-232C control as CRT projectors

• Projection distances of CRT projectors provide 1:1 distance-to-screen ratios. This is one area where CRT

projectors have some advantage. The Projector Team has designed a simple two-element lens which can

convert the Polaview 315 optical system to a 1:1 distance-to-screen ratio.

What applications are typically served by CRT projectors?

Boardrooms, simulators (aerospace, defense), and command and control centers (power companies, defense).

What is the warranty program for the new products?

As with all of Polaroid projection products, the purchase price of the products will include the standard

one-year parts and labor warranty.

Presentation Settings

Executive Briefings A presenter can quickly and easily prepare and deliver a presentation to

a board of directors, financial conference or similar audience using the

Polaview series together with any of several widely available

presentation software packages. Since the preparation of a presentation to

be delivered with an LCD projection device does not require the

assistance of third-party suppliers, long lead times are not required and

information can easily be updated. The presenter can prepare additional

backup material in anticipation of questions which may be asked by the

audience, knowing that the backup material can easily be accessed at any

time during the presentation if needed. Presenters in executive briefing

settings typically value such features as superior image quality and

brightness, color range, multimedia capability, portability, ease-of-use and

the ability to access any part of the presentation non-sequentially. They

also value the infrared remote mouse, which enables the presenter to

control the presentation while walking around the room interacting with

the audience.

Sales Presentations Because of the portability of the Polaview line, a salesperson can easily

carry a projector to a customer site. Using the LCD projector together

with any of several widely available presentation software packages, a

salesperson can tailor a presentation to a particular customer situation.

While traveling, the salesperson can use a notebook computer to

customize each presentation. Salespersons typically value such projection

system features as portability, brightness, image quality, the ability to

access parts of the presentation non-sequentially and the ability to

customize presentations easily.

Training and Education The Polaview LCD products are used extensively for training and

education purposes. In a software training course, for instance, the

instructor can project a screen for the entire class, allowing the group to

study the material simultaneously and allowing the instructor to provide

real-time examples and instruction. Instructors typically value such

features as portability, affordability, interactivity and image brightness.

Work Group Settings

Financial Analysis Work groups can prepare and analyze budgets, forecasts, and other

financial models using the Polaview LCD line along with popular

spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3. For

example, a budget can be analyzed to see the effects on profits should

revenues increase or decrease, or should sales commissions change. The

ability to work in real time can enhance the performance of work groups

by fostering more interaction among group members and can improve

the efficiency of the entire process by eliminating delays associated with

generating multiple iterations. Work groups performing financial

analyses typically value such features as portability, brightness, price

performance, ease of document retrieval, and hardware and software

compatibility.

Product Design Scientists, engineers and product designers can use the Polaview LCD

product series for group design reviews, project scheduling and

management reporting. While evaluating the design or project

schedule together, the group can also make changes, see the changes

and see their results immediately. In addition, technical simulations

can be run in a group setting. Prior to the advent of LCD projection

products, these groups were limited to reviewing static drawings or

printed materials, offering suggestions or modifications and then

waiting for a revised version to be generated and circulated. Product

design groups typically value such features as portability, high

resolution, color and brightness.

Command and Control Because of its high resolution, the Polaview 315 can be used as a

computer monitoring process for control rooms, such as meteorology,

government applications, or control towers.

GIS Because of its high resolution, the Polaview 315 can be used as a

(Geographical Information Systems) mapping process using information that is gathered through satellites.

Utilized in mapping weather systems throughout the world. The

projector is used as an output device.

Simulation and Training High brightness at XGA resolutions allows the Polaview 315 to be used

in simulation and training system applications. The Polaview 315 is a
