4. Shure Blends Brilliant Sound and Color with New SE115 Sound Isolating Earphones.
Our technicians and clients will attest, Shure has delivered a personal listening experience unlike any other, making the brand synonymous with exceptional sound quality. While many have tried, none have been able to achieve the same combination of reliability, comfort, portability, style, and audio performance without compromising one requisite for another. Now, with the SE115, creative Shure engineers have achieved a new breakthrough and fit a dynamic driver capable of delivering incredibly rich bass into the sleek, compact form factor once only attainable with a smaller driver.
There’s no doubt about it, Shure has set the standard for superior audio and unparalleled design. Now, as MP3 players, smartphones, and laptops break new ground in functionality and style Shure has blasted even bigger sound into a smaller and more beautiful package than ever before.
Additional SE115 features include:
Superior Sound Quality: The Second Generation Dynamic MicroSpeaker delivers detailed, warm sound with enhanced bass and Style.

Events can also be triggered when a loss of signal is detected.The CEN-NVS100 can control a pan/tilt/zoom camera via RS-485, communicates with the control system over Ethernet, and is PoE (Power over Ethernet) compatible. The perfect time for a perfect accessory!
Teachers and trainers capture more attention and have greater impact when using multimedia technology, and Mitsubishi’s new XD221U makes presenting easier than ever. The audio features enhance the teachers’ ability to make the subject interesting not only visually, but also through clearer sounds and audible information.
Mitsubishi’s XD221U is designed with two separate 3.5mm audio inputs and a special built-in audio mixer so the projector can simultaneously project audio from two sources, such as a DVD
and a third-party wireless microphone. Unlike any other projector available on the market today, the XD221U’s "Audio Mix" feature allows you to adjust the volume levels of each input for its 10W built-in speaker. With this uncommon configuration, an instructor can orally interject key points during a presentation and be heard over the video.
Do you remember sitting in class trying to hear a teacher speak over the volume of an educational program that you were watching, and the audio of the material tended to be louder than the
teacher’s voice? With the XD221U, teachers can now clearly point out particular details while the audience hears the other audio source at the same time. Students will pay closer
attention, be less distracted, and might even learn more!
When the speaker is not in use, the projector has an ultra-hushed noise level of only 26 dBA in low mode, so students hear the teacher and not the annoying hum of a fan. It also offers closed captioning from a supported source. With a touch of a button, the built-in decoder transforms words into subtitles projected on the screen, an important function for hearing-impaired students.
The XD221U blasts a rated 2300 lumens, ample brightness for well-lit classrooms, and is a native XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) resolution projector that uses Texas Instruments’ DLP technology that
is filter-free and helps decrease dust accumulation. Eliminating the filter saves on maintenance costs, and a lamp-life rated to up to 4000 hours (in low mode) reduces the need for lamp
replacement. A convenient top-access lamp design saves time and money during infrequent lamp replacements. The projector also features BrilliantColor, which creates clear, vivid images from a computer or video signal.
Intuitive, easy-to-use functionality is very important to many non-technical users, so Mitsubishi has a simplified menu bar that includes seven basic features and a customizable option to allow teachers to add a particular feature to the menu. This new easy menu helps reduce confusion menu customization creates a menu bar for what teachers want and use most in a classroom.
The new XD221U includes dual 15-pin computer inputs as well as S-video and RCA video inputs, so users can switch between a computer presentation and video with just a press of a button. It also includes a built-in RJ-45 port for remote operation and management over a LAN, WAN or the Internet.
Mitsubishi’s new projector is ultraportable at only seven pounds and has important security features with password menu and display locks, plus an anti-theft hook design that locks the
projector in place to help deter theft. It has an RS232 connection for compatibility with third party control devices and support for a computer loop out for external monitor display.
Groundbreaking audio features, environmentally friendly, low cost of ownership; gotta love it!
The HL2750U is perfect for high-level briefings or meetings where a large amount of detail needs to be clearly magnified. Even the smallest details appear crisp and clear so viewers get a better understanding of what they see.
The HL2750U has a lightweight design of only 10.8 pounds and supports different lens sizes (long- and short-throw) for versatile installation options. It blasts 3100 ANSI lumens for a
bright, clear image even in high-ambient light settings such as large classrooms or meeting rooms with windows.
Easy set-up features include digital vertical and horizontal keystone correction and an option that allows users to match selected background wall colors including beige, blue, green, pink and
blackboard. Once the color is chosen, the projector automatically adjusts its color gamma to create the best image possible on that surface, making set-up in classrooms and conference
rooms a breeze. An estimated lamp life of 5000 hours in low mode and a side-loading lamp makes lamp replacement quick, simple and infrequent. Users don’t have to remove the whole projector from its mount; you just extract the old lamp from the side and replace it — saving time and money.
Network management is simple and easy with the HL2750’s embedded ProjectorView and RJ45 connectivity for LAN asset management control of up to 200 projectors. Its RS232c connection makes it simple to integrate with third-party control systems and an anti-theft security anchor is included to deter unapproved removal. Multiple inputs include dual computer inputs as well as DVI for native digital signals.
A special DICOM-simulated version of the same projector, model MH2850U, is also available for the growing medical education and training market demand. This DICOM version supports
blue and clear mode of DICOM that can be used for training medical students in reading X-rays, MRIs and other electronic scan outputs with the clarity that no ordinary projectors can match.
In this demanding market, our customers require the most precise imaging technology available. The HL2750 meets and exceeds those needs. Call us for a demo of this new projector.
To address K-12 schools’ needs for interactive whiteboard projection solutions, Epson introduced the PowerLite 410W short throw, widescreen projector. An upgrade to the incredibly popular PowerLite 400W – the industry’s first short throw, widescreen 3LCD projector – the PowerLite 410W offers native WXGA resolution (1280x800) for use with widescreen computers and 16:10 interactive whiteboards, and additional enhancements including a shorter throw lens, increased brightness and an optional wall mount for added flexibility.
Featuring a shorter throw lens than the previous model, the PowerLite 410W projects a 60-inch 16:10 image from two feet away, making it ideal for wall mounting. This improved design gives more space to students and teachers in smaller classrooms, while drastically reducing shadows from presenters.
The Epson short throw projector line is a big hit with teachers. The ability to mount the PowerLite 410W projector’s predecessor without having to run wires and power up to the ceiling makes it easy on your budget as well.
The new projector also features 2,000 lumens white light output and 2,000 lumens color light output for brilliant and vibrant image quality without excessive glare. In addition, the PowerLite 410W offers an adjustable optional wall mount to suit a wide variety of screen sizes. This wall mount option allows for quick installation with increased flexibility at a low cost.
The PowerLite 410W represents the continuous technology enhancements that United Visual looks for from the manufacturers we represent. The PowerLite 400W was an unprecedented leap in projection technology, and the PowerLite 410W follows suit with improved features to greater benefit the classroom, making it an easy and affordable solution for displaying large, widescreen content in a small space without jeopardizing picture quality. Just what we’re looking for, just what you are looking for!
