The Hitachi CP-X450 projector provides users with a lower total cost of ownership by offering easier and less frequent maintenance. For example, the CP-X450 filter is located on the side, with the lamp door on top, meaning less time spent on replacement when the projector is ceiling mounted. Additionally, the hybrid filter does not need to be replaced for 2,000

hours.

The CP-X450 offers unparalleled ease of use with features such as Hitachi "My Button", which allows two user-programmable buttons to be set with any command from the select menu. A 7W audio output eliminates the need to connect external speakers, while the projector's low 29dB of noise in whisper mode ensures clear and effective communication.

Addressing the demand for advanced security in all applications, the CP-X450 features a transition detector, which requires a password to operate the projector when it is moved from a fixed position. The CP-X450 also offers PIN lock and MyScreen lock functions, as well as a security bar that enables the use of a heavy chain to prevent theft.

The CP-X450 also offers input source naming, allowing users to customize the names of their input sources instead of using the default name. Automatic vertical keystone detects the angle of the projector and corrects the image, saving time when setting up the projector. Additionally, the CP-X450's whiteboard mode provides adequate clarity while limiting brightness for use with whiteboards. Day time mode allows users to clearly see the images in a bright environment, while blackboard mode offers better color balance when displaying an image on a colored background.

The CP-X450 ensures high performance with features including motion adaptive progressive scan, which produces less line flicker, higher resolution and smoother motion video.

The CP-X450's 2-3 pull-down feature allows for precise and crisp reproduction of movie film.

With 12 SFP slots, the DGS-3612G provides a full fibre environment for long distance Ethernet infrastructure. It is particularly suitable for ISPs in their Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) deployments. In addition, four 1000Base-T copper ports acting as combo with 4 of the SFP slots are included for flexibility.

With D-Link Single IP Management (SIM) technology, up to 32 switch units -regardless of the model- may be combined in a virtual stack. Multiple switches can be configured, monitored and maintained from any workstation running a web browser via a single IP address. The stack is managed as a single object, as all stacked units are identified by this single IP address. A simple yet powerful web-based interface allows the administrator to perform most management and configuration tasks.

The DGS-3612G includes advanced routing features, such as OSPF v2, Passive Interface, Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA), Equal Cost Route and RIP. Multicast services such as IP-TV and Video on Demand (VoD) are supported with the inclusion of protocols such as IGMP, MLD and PIM. With Double VLAN (802.1Q-in-Q) support, ISPs can create Layer2 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and transparent LANs for their customers.

A complete set of security features is provided for connectivity and access control. These include Access Control Lists (ACLs) based on MAC address, switch port, IP address and/or TCP/UDP port numbers. 802.1X Authentication and MAC address control functionality is furthermore featured. The switch also provides central management for administration access via TACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS. In addition, when implemented in conjunction with a D-Link NetDefend firewall, this switch is able to automatically quarantine any host displaying abnormal behaviour. This mechanism, D-Link's ZoneDefense, provides proactive network security by preventing viruses from spreading through the network and thwarting harmful network attacks.

The DGS-3612G switch provides VLAN support including GARP/GVRP, 802.1Q and Guest VLAN to enhance network security and performance. The Guest VLAN feature assigns the user to a "Guest VLAN" dynamically if the user does not login on the RADIUS server. If authentication is successful the user will be assigned to the VLAN that is associated with the login information. The switch implements a robust set of multi-layer (L2, L3, L4) QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services like VoIP, ERP, Intranet and video conference are prioritized. Bandwidth control allows administrators to set traffic limits on each port, ensuring a committed level of service for end users. For advanced applications, per-flow bandwidth control allows easy fine-tuning of service types based on specific IP addresses or protocols.

In addition, a unique feature, D-Link Safeguard Engine, allows administrators to configure thresholds that limit the impact of packet flooding to the switches CPU typically caused by virus/worm outbreaks. This increases the switch's reliability, serviceability and availability.
