 Citrix bestows ViewSonic’s suite of fully functional desktop thin clients with

‘Best of Synergy’ award

Anaheim, Calif. – May 22, 2013 – ViewSonic Corp. announced today at Citrix Synergy™ the future of virtual desktop computing accessed via managed smart displays. Citrix has also named ViewSonic’s new solutions a ‘Best of Synergy’ award winner.

Leveraging a 25-year display heritage, ViewSonic has extended the Citrix XenMobile™ enterprise mobility management solution to its next generation of thin clients with its new line of smart displays. Citrix XenMobile gives IT organizations complete management and control of their mobile devices, apps, and data. ViewSonic’s new smart displays take advantage of this management and control by integrating XenMobile into its new devices, including the 24” SD-A245 and 22” SD-A225, to give IT organizations the ability to manage both their mobile and smart devices seemlessly.

“Citrix XenMobile supports the broadest array of new types of devices in the industry. ViewSonic’s SD-A245 and SD-A225 smart displays are a key example. Our collaboration with ViewSonic to pre-load XenMobile on the company’s smart displays allows IT to remotely secure and deliver apps and data on these new classes of devices,” said Amit Pandey, vice president and general manager, Mobile Platforms group at Citrix.

As enterprises develop and adopt mobile productivity apps that are changing the way they do business, IT organizations are driven to make significant investments in enterprise mobility solutions.  By extending these mobile solutions to smart displays running the Android operating system, enterprises can standardize on apps and mobile management tools for both mobile and smart devices, reducing IT complexity and streamlining costs.

“Through our relationship with Citrix, ViewSonic is helping IT organizations effectively extend their enterprise mobility investment to smart devices connecting to virtual desktops. At the same time, our display solutions allows users to access an extremely secure, locked down desktop that IT can easily manage. This new class of device changes the game in thin computing, delivering tomorrow’s thin client today. We are honored that Citrix has validated these efforts with a Best of Synergy award,” said Jeff Volpe, President of ViewSonic Americas.

In addition to the security and manageability features, low power consumption and access to virtual Windows applications and desktops found within a traditional thin client environment, the ViewSonic smart displays with Citrix XenMobile Enterprise benefit from:

• The ability to natively run managed mobile applications, including Worx-enabled Android mobile apps, without putting demands on backend PC servers, in turn reducing network bandwidth
• The ability to natively run multimedia, including types of video and media that a thin client typically cannot
• The ability to provide single sign-on access to SaaS and web-based applications, simplifying the user experience while maintaining a secure and managed environment
• A touch screen UI design, helping to facilitate the use of touch within software applications. This delivers users the modern interactive form factor of smartphones and tablets, but with a larger screen size for heightened productivity
• Extended device management and control capabilities that allow enterprise IT staff to use the same mobile management solution, Citrix XenMobile Enterprise, to manage their smart displays and mobile devices, reducing complexity

ViewSonic’s award-winning 24” SD-A245 smart display with XenMobile will be showcased at the Citrix Synergy Los Angeles event May 22-24, 2013 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Both the SD-A245 and SD-A225 will be available in August at respective ESPs of $549 and $449.

ViewSonic unveils advanced interactive, ultra-short throw networked projector lines offering remote operation, wireless streaming and twice the interactivity

WALNUT, Calif. – March 19, 2013 – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, introduces its brand new PJD8 series today with an impressive assortment of features including dual pen interactivity and advanced connectivity functionality. New projector models include the PJD8353s, PJD8653ws, PJD8333s and PJD8633ws.

“When it comes to ultra short throw projector solutions, its common that manufacturers will offer either reflective mirror technology or direct projection technology, but we feel it is important to offer our customers both,” said Roger Chien, product manager for ViewSonic. “Paired with advanced interactive and connectivity features, our brand new PJD8 series delivers the opportunity of choice, not chance.”

This new ultra short throw, networkable series allows the projector to be mounted right above a whiteboard or screen without creating hot spots, shadows or casting bright light in front of the presenter, making it perfect for smaller or difficult projection spaces like classrooms and meeting rooms. Equipped with a Crestron^® LAN controller, the PJD8 series makes it easy for IT administrators to remotely control and manage multiple projectors from their workstations, while AMX® Device Discovery™ certification allows for easy integration. For maximum flexibility, this series is available in two different solutions – the 53 line for enhanced interactivity and the 33 line for advanced connectivity. All PJD8 series projectors come with BrilliantColor™ technology, for vibrant colors and 2600-3000 ANSI lumens for sharp images. No matter the solution, the PJD8 series is packed with features, including HDMI^®, integrated 16w speakers, LAN control and DynamicEco™, with added benefits depending on the line, such as dual pen interactivity, a mobile app for smart phone and tablet functionality and PC-less presentations.

PJD8 Series, 53 Line  – Dual Pens Means Double The Interactivity

The PJD8653ws and PJD8353s feature networkability and interactivity support in a format that is more convenient and mobile, while being much less expensive than entry-level smart boards and interactive whiteboards today. Utilizing reflective mirror technology, the WXGA DLP^® PJD8653ws and XGA DLP^® PJD8353s can be mounted above an interactive white board or wall for the projection of an image up to 110”. Paired with an optional interactive package (PJ-PEN-003) with IR camera module, use up to two interactive pens at a time to digitally write, draw and annotate on images, then save content as JPEG files to circulate via email. Teamed with interactive drawing software, practically any surface is turned into an interactive whiteboard making for the ultimate in collaborative learning and engaging presentations.

PJD8 Series, 33 Line – Advanced Connectivity

The perfect line for small classroom spaces and corporate environments, the PJD8633ws and PJD8333s are advanced networkable ultra short throw projectors with direct projection technology that deliver bright images from a short distance. Both utilize a larger fisheye lens, with the WXGA DLP^®PJD8633ws delivering widescreen presentations at 81” from 2.1 feet away (throw ratio 0.375), while the XGA DLP^®PJD8333s projects a 70” image from 2.2 feet (throw ratio 0.468).

Advanced Connectivity Technology on the PJD8633ws and PJD8333s make possible the wireless streaming of content from smartphones and tablets while enabling remote control capabilities. Packed with further advanced features for easy of use and remote operation, this line offers wired and wireless LAN display, USB display, a 3D Blu-ray ready HDMI connection and PC-less presentation functionality. As a result, presenters can share a PowerPoint presentation from their home office to a projector located at the corporate office, making the PJD8 33 line ideal for remote presentations and telecommuters.

Availability and Pricing

All new PJD8 series projectors will be available in North and Latin America, and come with a three-year limited parts and labor and one-year lamp warranties along with Express Exchange^® Service*. The PJD8653ws and PJD8353s will be available in mid-March for ESPs of $1,199 and $1,079, while the optional PJ-PEN-003 interactive package for these projectors has an ESP of $299.

WALNUT, Calif. – March 5, 2013 – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, introduces two new models to its Pro8 high bright, high-res installation projector line today – including the Pro8520HD and Pro8600 – making for a total of seven series models to choose from.

“Worldwide high brightness DLP^® projector shipments have doubled over the past three years. Additionally, we have recently seen rapid growth in the demand for 1080p models,” said Roger Chien, product manager for ViewSonic. “ViewSonic has pinpointed and responded quickly to these trends by releasing our newest Full HD 1080p Pro8520HD model, and expanding our ProAV lineup to give customers the greatest market selection.”

Designed for ProAV and commercial B2B installation markets, these new DLP models pair high brightness (5000 ANSI lumens – Pro8520HD; 6000 ANSI lumens – Pro8600), BrilliantColor™ tech­nology and an 15,000:1 contrast ratio for vivid, bright images. The Pro8520HD offers Full HD 1920×1080 high definition crystal clear resolution, while the Pro8600 has an XGA 1024×768 native resolution, with 120Hz image frequency and DLP Link 3D ready technology for 3D projection. Both models are perfect even for high ambient light environments common to commercial spaces such as retail stores, restaurants, houses of worship and larger boardrooms. Furthermore, extensive connectivity offerings such as dual HDMI (single HDMI for Pro8600), RGB, S-Video, RJ45 and plug ‘n play USB display make for quick and easy install.

Both the Pro8520HD and Pro8600 integrate Crestron RoomView^®/AMX and PJ-Link management software that enables the devices to remotely manage multiple projectors through a LAN connection for efficient maintenance. Add the ability to simultaneously display up to four different images from separate PCs on a single screen, optional wireless display[1], a wide 1.5x optical zoom lens, and built-in 20W speakers and the Pro8520HD and Pro8600 are ready for any multimedia challenge. Paired with a filter-less design and long lamp life, the Pro8 series provides for virtually zero maintenance and low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Pricing and Availability

The Pro8520HD and Pro8600 and optional WPD-100 USB enabling wireless functionality will be available in North and Latin America by late March for respective ESPs of $2,099 and $1,979. Both Pro8 series models come with a three-year limited parts and labor and one-year lamp warranties along with Express Exchange^® Service*.
