Desktop Visualizers Overview
WolfVision offers a selection of 6 different Desktop Visualizer Models.
Our entry level Visualizer models have less features, but the quality standards are the same as with our top range Visualizers. Excellent picture quality, solid design and easy handling can be found in the whole WolfVision product line.
Apart from the model VZ-7D all WolfVision Desktop Visualizers use Progressive Scan cameras. They are state of the art for Visualizers these days because they have much more resolution than PAL or NTSC video cameras and nearly all of today's display devices are equipped with the appropriate RGB, DVI or HDMI inputs for signals like XGA, SXGA, WXGA or 720p HD (High Definition).
VZ-8 Series
WolfVision's popular VZ-8 series Visualizers have become a worldwide standard in a large number of universities, schools and enterprises in recent years.
In 2008, WolfVision introduces the third generation of the VZ-8 Visualizers. The most important new feature is a high resolution CCD camera with native SXGA-/ 720p HD resolution.
VZ-8plus3 is the unit with all features and VZ-8light3 is the lower priced model with the same high quality level but less features
WolfVision's popular VZ-8 series Visualizers have become a worldwide standard in a large number of universities, schools and enterprises in recent years.
In June 2008, WolfVision introduces the third generation of the VZ-8 Visualizers. The names VZ-8plus and VZ-8light remain unchanged, only the suspended number changes from 2 to 3 (indicating the "third generation").
VZ-8plus3 is the unit with all features and VZ-8light3 is the lower priced model with the same high quality level but less features. Features marked with ** are only available on VZ-8plus3.
VZ-8plus3 and VZ-8light3 will be available in September/October 2008.
Until then the second generation of the VZ-8 Visualizer series (VZ-8plus2 and VZ-8light2) is still available .
