Dear Polaview 330 Sales Partner:
Now there’s an XGAprojector that provides the sharpness, brilliance and portability that so many

organizations demand. It’s the Polaview 330 XGAPortable Projector.

The Polaview 330 has been designed for anyone who needs XGA sharpness, the brilliance of 700
lumens, and the impact of 24-bit color. In addition to true boardroom-quality projection and workstation
compatibility, the Polaview 330 comes with a full-featured remote control. An optional palm-size
Universal Interlink Remote Point Cordless Mouse is also available, offering presenters a reliable, easy-to­use means of controlling their computers during their presentations. Because the projector weighs only
13 pounds and measures just 14 x 11 x 5 inches, it will fit under the seat or in the overhead compartment
of an airplane, so we’ve also included a convenient travel case with room for a laptop computer. With all
of these additional features, the Polaview 330 is still one of the least-expensive XGAprojectors on the
market today.

The Polaview 330 offers 1024 x 768 XGA(Extended Graphics Array) resolution, making it ideal
for use with applications such as spreadsheets, business graphics, GIS, CAD/CAM, solid modeling,
command and control, analytical, and diagnostics. The Auto Sync and Auto Scan features allow the user
to project images that are automatically formatted to fit the entire screen. And with 700 lumens and 24-bit
color (16.7 million colors overall) the Polaview 330 has the power and brilliance to deliver a sharp, clear
image even in a “lights-up” room environment. Full workstation compatibility, including most PC,
Macintosh and workstation platforms, full-featured polysilicon LCD technology for sharper images,
zoom, impressive 3-watt stereo speakers, backlit remote control, and high-interface logic for the
simplicity of plug-and-play projection are some of the features that make the Polaview 330 a sure winner
for you and your customers.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Do I need to take any precautions when transporting the Polaview 330?

Because the Polaview 330 is so portable, you never lose direct control over the device, as you might when
checking a piece of luggage onto an airplane. The fact that the Polaview 330 can be taken onto an airplane
as a “carry-on” means that it never has to be subjected to rough handling or extreme changes in
temperature. However, since the Polaview 330 is a sensitive, technological product, care should be taken
in transporting it. Avoid exposing the projector to sunlight or leaving it in your car for extended periods
of time. Like all projectors, the Polaview 330 is sensitive to extreme heat or cold, so allow at least 10
minutes equilibrium time before turning it on. To make moving the Polaview 330 easier and safer a soft­sided carrying case is included with room for a computer as well as the projector.

Are there any major Polaroid features being traded off in order to give the
Polaview 330 its portability?

Nothing other than weight and size! Other larger Polaroid projectors might project somewhat brighter
images and include more features like PCMCIAATA card or P in P capability, but the overall image
quality and XGA resolution of the Polaview 330 are ideally suited for most presentations. Technically, 700
lumens is enough for most lighting situation, and PC-quality projectors have been the standard in the
computer-projection field for years.

When would the Polaview 330 be the Polaroid projector of choice?

The Polaview 330 can be used in most projection situations. It is especially appropriate for the “on-the­go” salesperson or presenter who needs both the portability and the sharp, clear images that the Polaview
330 provides. Its XGAsharpness and clarity makes the Polaview 330 ideal for spreadsheets, CAD and
even medical diagnostic image presentation.

What is the difference between the backlit projector remote control with mouse and
the Universal Interlink Remote Point Cordless Mouse?

The optional Universal Interlink Remote Point Cordless Mouse enables the user to control the
presentation with a simple, cordless, palm-size mouse that he or she can use to move the cursor and
“point and click.” The full-featured backlit remote control that is included provides the presenter with
complete control of the projector. Some presenters prefer a simple remote like the Interlink while others
may prefer a more fully-functional remote.

6

Polavie w 330 X G A Portable LCD Project or

Does it matter what kind of projection screen should I use?

Although you can always project the image onto a bare wall, a good screen greatly enhances the quality
of a presentation. There are three main varieties of screen: matte, lenticular, and beaded. The matte screen
surface is a bit dull, but because they have a wide viewing angle, they are a good choice when the
audience is seated all the way out to the sides of the room. Lenticular screens reflect light from very thin
ridges, so the image is quite sharp directly in front of the screen. Beaded screens combine the best of both
worlds, reflecting light very well and allowing a wide viewing angle.

What is advanced polysilicon technology?

Basically, it is an advanced manufacturing process that deposits polycrystalline silicon on a plate. This
high-temperature deposition of polycrystalline silicon creates a definite crystal structure in defined
regions of the plate. This process produces a silicon LCD that transmits a sharp image.

What makes the Polaview 330 XGA Portable LCD Projector different from other
portable projectors?

The Polaview 330 XGA Portable LCD Projector features XGAsharpness and UHP projection brightness of
700 lumens and offers tremendous convenience and portability. This is the optimal portable XGA
projection solution at a price most organizations can afford.

Differentiating features include:

• Brighter image At 700 lumens with 24-bit color, the Polaview 330 XGA LCD Projector provides

a bright, clear image.

• Lightweight, compact The smallest, lightest Polaroid XGA projector

(13 pounds, 14 x 11 x 5 inches).

• Startup logo User programmable through RS232 port.

• Exceptional ease-of-use The Polaview 330 offers full plug-and-play compatibility, with the

cables you need included. Convenient on-screen menuing and a straightforward, intuitive user
interface further enhance the Polaview 330 control capabilities.

• Dual remote controls Offers presenters a choice of an included full-featured remote or optional

palm-size Universal Interlink Remote Point Cordless Mouse.

• Gamma correction Customized for light, dark and normal room lighting conditions.

• Long-lasting 120W UHP lamp Estimated lamp life of 2,000 hours.

• Soft carrying case Included with purchase.

7

Are video and audio supported?

The Polaview 330 provides integrated digital video for the finest multimedia presentations. It is
compatible with worldwide video standards NTSC, PAL and SECAM. For audio, the Polaview 330 has
dual 3- watt speakers.

Is the Polaview 330 mountable?

Yes. The Polaview 330 can be counter-, wall- or ceiling-mounted.

How does this new product fit into Polaroid’s projection product line?

The Polaview 330 is an XGA 700 lumens projector at an affordable cost that makes this projector ideally
suited for the traveler on the go or salesperson in a hurry.

The Polaview 330 belongs at the top of the portable projector line. It is a premium, XGA­resolution, multimedia LCD projector with extensive benefits in terms of size, weight, quality,
convenience and portability.

What is the warranty program for the new products?

The purchase price of the Polaview 330 XGALCD Projector will include a 3-year parts and labor
warranty.

Markets &

Applications

Polavie w 330 X G A Portable LCD Project or

Key Market & Applications

Target Markets

• Sales

• Business

• Scientific

• Engineering

• Medical

• Government/Defense

• Simulation and Training

To date, more than 60% of all LCD projectors have been sold into businesses. The Polaview 330
expands the potential of the business market even further through its detailed projection capabilities
and extreme portability. The three largest uses of LCD projectors in business are:

• Presentations

• Product demonstrations (particularly for personal computing hardware and software products)

• Training (on both computer and non-computer products)

Applications

Polaroid Polaview LCD projectors are designed to increase the productivity of work groups and the
effectiveness of presenters. The following examples demonstrate the ways in which these projectors
can increase the efficiency of the information exchange.

Portable Projection

The new Polaview 330 LCD Projector is the ideal solution for those who require easy to use, portable
projection. It’s the ideal projector for sales presentations, training sessions, visual analysis and
interpretation, reference and detail. Beyond presentations, the Polaview 330 is an essential tool for use
in an array of applications in the business, educational, government, medical and scientific markets.

Presentation Settings

Executive Briefings A presenter can quickly and easily prepare and deliver a presentation to a

board of directors, financial conference or similar audience using the
Polaview series together with any of several widely available presentation
software packages. Since the preparation of a presentation to be delivered
with an LCD projection device does not require the assistance of third-party
suppliers, long lead times are not required and information can be easily
updated. The presenter can prepare additional backup material in
anticipation of questions which may be asked by the audience, knowing that
the backup material can be accessed easily at any time during the
presentation if needed. Presenters in executive briefing settings typically
value such features as superior image quality and brightness, color range,
multimedia capability, portability, ease-of-use and the ability to access any
part of the presentation non-sequentially. They also value the infrared remote
mouse, which enables the presenter to control the presentation while
interacting with the audience.

Sales Presentations Because of the portability of the Polaview line, a salesperson can easily carry

a projector to a customer site. Using the LCD projector together with any of
several widely available presentation software packages, a salesperson can
tailor a presentation to a particular customer situation. While traveling, the
salesperson can use a notebook computer to customize each presentation.
Salespersons typically value such projection system features as portability,
brightness, image quality, the ability to access parts of the presentation non­sequentially and the ability to customize presentations easily.

Training and Education The Polaview LCD products are used extensively for training and education

purposes. In a software training course, for instance, the instructor can
project a screen for the entire class, allowing the group to study the material
simultaneously and allowing the instructor to provide real-time examples
and instruction. Instructors typically value such features as portability,
affordability, interactivity and image brightness.

12

Polavie w 330 X G A Portable LCD Project or

Work Group Settings

Financial Analysis Work groups can prepare and analyze budgets, forecasts, and other financial

models using the Polaview LCD line along with popular spreadsheet
applications such as Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3. For example, a budget
can be analyzed to see the effects on profits should revenues increase or
decrease, or should sales commissions change. The ability to work in real
time can enhance the performance of work groups by fostering more
interaction among group members and can improve the efficiency of the
entire process by eliminating delays associated with generating multiple
iterations. Work groups performing financial analyses typically value such
features as portability, brightness, price performance, ease of document
retrieval, and hardware and software compatibility.

Product Design Scientists, engineers and product designers can use the Polaview LCD

product series for group design reviews, project scheduling and
management reporting. While evaluating the design or project schedule
together, the group can also make changes, see the changes and see their
results immediately. In addition, technical simulations can be run in a group
setting. Prior to the advent of LCD projection products, these groups were
limited to reviewing static drawings or printed materials, offering
suggestions or modifications and then waiting for a revised version to be
generated and circulated. Product design groups typically value such
features as portability, high resolution, color and brightness.

Glossary of Terms

Amorphous A type of LCD using non-crystalline silicon.
Analog Signal A continuous signal that takes time to make a transition from one level to another.

Standard audio and video signals are analog. This signal has an infinite number of levels between its
highest and lowest value. (Not represented by bits, such as with digital.)

Aspect Ratio Horizontal dimension of a picture expressed relative to the vertical dimensions. The aspect
ratio of all broadcast composite video systems is 4 units wide by 3 units high.

Bandwidth A frequency range, or “band” of frequencies, within which a device operates.
Brightness Ratio The difference between the brightest and darkest object in a picture. Too much of a

difference can cause unacceptable contrast.
CGA (Color Graphics Adapter) In 1983 IBM introduced their first product to display both color and

graphics. Pixel x Line resolution of 640 x 200. The horizontal scan frequency of 15.75 kHz and vertical
frequency of 60 Hz. The output is a 9 pin “D” type connector.

Chrominance Signal The signal that represents color in a video picture. Chroma is the characteristics of
color information independent of luminance intensity. Hue and saturation are qualities of chroma.
Chrominance is abbreviated as “C”.

Composite Video Amixed signal comprised of the luminance black and white, chrominance (color),
blanking pulses, sync pulses and color burst.

Contrast Degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of a picture. Low contrast is shown
mainly as shades of gray, while high contrast is shown as blacks and whites with very little gray.

Convergence The alignment of the Red, Green, and Blue video on a projected display.
DOT Clock (also Pixel Clock) The highest data rate that a graphics device can produce.
Frequency Range Refers to the low-to-high limits of a device, such as a computer, projector or monitor.

Also “bandwidth.”

Hertz (Hz) A measure of frequency in cycles per second.
Horizontal Rate (Frequency) The number of complete horizontal lines, including trace and retrace,

scanned per second. Typically shown as a measure of kHz.
Hue (Tint Control) Red, yellow, blue, etc., are hues of color, or types of color. Hue is the parameter of

color that allows us to distinguish between colors. Interlaced The process of scanning whereby the
alternated lines of both scanned fields fall evenly between each other.

Keystone Effect Adistorted picture where one edge is not the same dimension as the opposite edge.
Typically results when the image is projected at an angle. In stone buildings, the tapered stone at the top
of an arch was the “key” that prevented the arch from falling.

Kilohertz (kHz) Thousands of Hertz, or a frequency rate in units of thousands of cycles per second. For
example: CGA’s horizontal scan rate is 15,750 hertz (Hz), or 15.75 kHz.

Polavie w 330 X G A Portable LCD Project or

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Display technology that relies on polarizing filters and liquid-crystal
cells rather than phosphors illuminated by electron beams to produce an on-screen image. To control the
intensity of the red, green, and blue dots that comprise pixels, an LCD’s control circuitry applies varying
charges to the liquid-crystal cells through which polarized light passes on its way to the screen. The
amount of light that makes it through to the screen depends on the amount of charge applied to the
corresponding cell before passes through a second polarizing filter and a red, green, or blue color mask.

Lumen A unit of measure for the amount of light emitted by a light source. Luminance This is the signal
that represents brightness in a video picture. Luminance is any value between black and white.
Luminance is abbreviated as “Y.”

Lux The amount of light per square meter, incident on a surface.
MHz An abbreviation for megahertz. This is a unit of measurement and refers to a million cycles per

second. Bandwidth is measured in megahertz.
Non-Interlaced A method by which all the video scan lines are presented on the screen in one sweep

instead of two (also see interlace).
Pixel A definable location on a display screen that consists of multiple or single triad of dots (red, green,

and blue). Acomputer picture is typically composed of a rectangular array of pixels (i.e. 640 x 480). The
resolution of a picture is expressed by the number of pixels in the display. For example, a picture with
560 x 720 pixels is much sharper than a picture with 275 x 400 pixels.

Saturation The intensity of the color is called saturation. Example: A lightly saturated red looks pink.
Fully saturated red is like the red of a crayon. Not to be confused with brightness, saturation is the
amount of pigment in a color, and not the intensity. Low saturation is like adding white to the color.

SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array) Also referred to an extension of the VGAvideo standard. SVGA
video adapters support resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels and higher with up to 16.7 million colors (known
as true color).

TFT Thin Film Transistor
Vertical Rate (Frequency) The number of times the screen is refreshed per second. Typically shown as a

measure of hertz (Hz).
VGA (Video Graphics Array) Also referred to as Video Graphics Adapter. Introduced by IBM in 1987.

VGA is an analog signal with TTL level separate horizontal and vertical sync. The video outputs to a 15­inch HD connector, has a horizontal scan frequency of 31.5 kHz, and vertical frequency of 60 to 70 Hz
non-interlaced. The signal has a Pixel-by-Line resolution of 640 x 480 with a color palette of 16 from
256,000.

XGA (Extended Graphics Array) IBM’s graphics standard that includes VGAand extended resolutions
up to 1024 x 768 pixels, interlaced, 35 kHz. An XGAvideo card has a 15-pin HD connector.

XGA-2 (Extended Graphics Array, 2nd Generation) Capable of scanning from 31 to 68 kHz and
resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. An XGA2 video card has a 15-pin HD connector..
