1 Video transfer through network may not be supported depending on combination of computer hardware and software. For projecting video sources, video/computer cable is preferable.

*

2 This function will be provided later by software update from the website http://www.hitachi-america.us/digitalmedia

*

3 To secure better performance, a wired network is preferable.

*

4 Video transfer speed may vary depending on number of projectors connected.

•

 If many computers are connected to the network or the connected computer is under excessive load, higher specifications may be required.

Embedded networking gives you the 

ability to manage and control multiple 

projectors over your LAN: Centralized 

Reporting, Scheduling, E-mail Alerts, 

and My Image (Image Transfer).

Advanced Network Functions*

You can project the same image from 

up to 12*

4

 projectors simultaneously. 

This is useful for meetings and lectures 

in large venues where a single screen 

would not be sufficient.

• Mechanical SHADE • Operating Altitude: 0-3,048m (0-10,000ft) • Low Noise of 29dB*

• Projected images are simulations.

The remote control has four 

ID buttons. When operating 

multiple projectors at 

one time, each projector 

ID can be changed to 

prevent confusion. 

It also has an F5 button 

for starting presentations 

quickly, and Direct Input 

Source select buttons.

Instant Stack lets you place 

one projector beside another 

to project the same image 

from both onto a screen for 

added brightness. Overlaying 

the image is made easier 

with built-in tools including 

RS-232C control, Perfect Fit 

and Lens Shift.

Lamp door and filter cover are 

on both sides, facilitating 

maintenance and replacement 

when the projector is installed 

on the ceiling.

*

 Varies according to usage environment.

• When stacking projectors, there are 

   various cautions and function limitations 

   you should be aware of. Please ask your 

   dealer for details.

These projectors use a 3-layer high performance filter that has two layers of 

unwoven cloth and an HAF (high air flow) filter. It lasts up to 20,000 hours* 

without cleaning, reducing maintenance time. (The CP-WU8440 filter has two 

layers of unwoven cloth and lasts 15,000 hours.*)

These projectors incorporate three LCD 

panels with inorganic alignment layers that 

are extremely light resistant, increasing 

brightness and 

contrast ratio. 

They ensure 

smooth images 

and high 

reliability.

• The projectors have a DICOM (Digital Imaging 

   and Communications in Medicine) Simulation 

   Mode. This mode simulates the DICOM 

   standard, which is a standard applicable to 

   digital communications in medicine, and is 

   useful for displaying medical images such as 

   X-rays. These projectors are not medical 

   devices and are not compliant with the DICOM 

   standard, and neither the projector nor 

   the DICOM Simulation Mode should be used 

   for medical diagnosis.

• Comparison photos are simulations.

The DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Simulation 

Mode projects grayscale images which approximate DICOM Part 14 

specifications. This mode is ideal for viewing grayscale medical images, 

such as X-rays, for training and educational purposes.

• Perfect Fit may decrease picture quality as a result of the compensation and resizing processes. 

Perfect Fit enables quick adjustment of the projected image by 

moving its four corners one at a time. In addition, barrel or 

pincushion distortion, which occur on rounded surfaces, can 

easily be corrected (only CP-WX8255 and CP-X8160).

You can use a wireless network by 

connecting the projector to a computer 

using the optional USB wireless 

adapter. The adapter supports 

IEEE802.11b/g/n.

The two HDMI inputs allow digital connection 

via a single cable, for video and audio from various 

types of equipment. You enjoy high picture quality 

and high sound quality for a wide range of uses.

The Status Monitor is a sub-LCD 

located on the rear panel of 

the CP-WU8450, CP-WX8255 and 

CP-X8160. It displays the present 

condition of the projector, including 

errors, setup information 

and error history.
