ПО Early Warning контролирует состояние проекторов и дисплеев, подключенных к внутренней сети, и информирует оператора при обнаружении нарушений или при их предполагаемом возникновении, а также в случаях, когда есть предпосылки к возникновению проблем. Это позволяет свести к минимуму время простоя и, как следствие, обеспечить более стабильную работу.

Тихий режим работы (Silent)

Сочетание технологий позволяет удерживать шум на низком уровне в режиме работы Silent. Таким образом, шум от работы охлаждающего вентилятора будет еле слышен. Это достигается за счет эффективной системы охлаждения, снижения светоотдачи с целью ограничения скорости вращения вентилятора, а также управления скоростью цветового круга для устранения избыточного шума.
