Anthem today announces the availability of two high-performance LCOS front video projectors, its first offerings in the projector category. The LTX 300 and LTX 500 provide the highest standards in color accuracy, image brightness and clarity.

"The video playback capabilities of the LTX projectors mesh perfectly with the industry-leading A/V processing available on our Anthem Statement D2v and AVM 50v," said Anthem Vice President of Sales and Marketing Jack Shafton. "Our dealers can now offer a high-performance, turnkey video and A/V control solution to their customers."

Anthem's LTX projectors deliver very high reported contrast ratios, along with 2x high-precision zoom lenses with motorized focus that are digitally driven by three-panel 1920 x 1080p LCOS engines. The result is enhanced color accuracy and bright, clear images. For the utmost in versatility, the LTX projectors offer conveniently placed 1080p HDMI v.1.3 (Deep Color) digital inputs as well as S-video, composite and component Y-Pb-Pr (RCA) video inputs, and RS-232 control for integration with home control and automation systems.

Owners of Anthem LTX projectors will receive white glove customer support through Anthem's Preferred Service Program. Included with each projector is a half-off coupon for a user-installable projector replacement lamp (the typical lamp-life cycle of the bulb is 2,000 hours, or about 1,000 movies). The complementary program also offers next-business-day replacement for defective projector parts for the first six months and access to a special, Anthem projector-only tech support hotline.
