Sanyo rolled out today a new 3LCD projector for the educational and business markets which makes use of a dual lamp system which allows for 24/7 continuous operation. It is called the PLC-XTC50L and it will be available this month for around $7,500.

The Sanyo PLC-XTC50L features what is called the industry’s first lamp selection system. This function automatically selects one of two lamps to project from, and switches lamps based on user preference or preprogrammed settings. This system, and the dual lamps, offers up around 6,000 hours of projection, which is said to be twice as long as regular one lamp models.

Other features of this projector include a resolution of 1024 x 768, brightness of 5,000 lumens, a 1100:1 contrast ratio, a screen size of up to 300 inches and DVI-D w/HDCP input. The weight of this little beast is just over 32 pounds.
