Introducing the Second Edition

click on image to enlarge

The VZ-8plus² and VZ-8light² are the second edition of the WolfVision popular VZ-8 Visualizer series and has had a major upgrade with a newer and more modern design as well as many new features.

The names of the two Visualizers remain the same, with only the superscripted number 2 added. This is because the previous units have become synonymous with the term state-of-the-art in a large number of universities, schools and major enterprises worldwide. The names VZ-8plus and VZ-8light are so familiar, that it would be a mistake to change them completely.

The new VZ-8plus² and VZ-8light² will be exhibited for the first time at Infocomm USA (June 7-9, 2006). Serial production will start in August, with larger quantities available beginning in September 2006. The prices will remain the same.

New features of the "second edition" include:

New, modern design
30 frames per second
High speed autofocus (because of 30 frames per second)
USB 2.0 port
Firmware updates via USB
Recording possibility in front of the unit with "image flip"
