InFocus® Sets a New Standard for Personal Projectors

Barcelona, Spain, April 12, 2000 -- InFocus® (NASDAQ: INFS), the worldwide leader in data/video projection, today unveiled the remarkable LP335 digital notebook projector. Setting new standards for features and brightness in the personal projector category, the LP335 delivers 1000 lumens, XGA resolution, DLP technology, digital and analog connectivity, superior video and image quality, and HDTV compatibility in a small and sleek 4.8-pound package. InFocus engineers packed more features into the same award-winning design of the LP330 and lowered the price, creating a projector that meets the presentation needs – image, features and value – of mobile presenters, road warriors and notebook users.

"The data/video projector market has taken off in the last year," said Bob O'Donnell, research manager with International Data Corporation. "When ultraportable projectors were introduced last year, they were quickly adopted by notebook carriers as valuable peripherals in their mobile arsenal. We expect to see the projector attach rate to notebooks grow even more as users continue to understand the benefits of projectors for the delivery of interactive and multimedia presentations."

"Worldwide revenues for the data/video projector category are expected to reach $5 billion for 2000, a 26 percent increase over 1999," said William Coggshall, an analyst with Pacific Media Associates. "We're seeing InFocus work towards growing the category even further by catering to a broader audience with increased lumens and digital connectivity in the LP335."

The LP335 is the first InFocus projector to ship with DigitalConnect, an InFocus innovation based on the Digital Display Working Group's (DDWG) new DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard. By offering digital, analog and USB connectivity through a single connector, the LP335 is future-ready for the new generation of digital notebooks. A zoom lens, onboard control panel, remote control and digital keystone correction complete the package, giving users flexibility in every presentation situation.

The LP335's broad feature set offers all the performance of a premium conference room projector in a package designed for maximum portability. With 1000 lumens of brightness, an increase of 50 percent over the LP335's predecessor, users are able to present with the lights on. True 1024x768 XGA resolution, 400:1 contrast ratio, and Texas Instrument's DLP display technology give the image quality necessary to present graphic-rich, multimedia presentations. The incorporation of InFocus' home theater quality video allows users to make the most of DVD technology. And the LP335 is also 1080i HDTV compatible, making it truly future-ready.

"Adding value for our customers and making products that are future-ready are two very important objectives for us," said Bill Yavorsky, InFocus vice president of sales and marketing. "The only thing missing from this projector is an increase in price. We were able to add brightness, image quality and additional connectivity without passing additional costs on to our customers."

The InFocus LP335 has a $5,999 MSRP and is available immediately. For more information, please visit the InFocus web site at www.infocus.com
