September 18, 2024

BELTSVILLE, Md., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aurzen, the immersive entertainment technology brand, brings what matters into focus. Following the remarkable success of the Aurzen EAZZE D1 on Amazon, which garnered widespread acclaim for its performance and value, Aurzen is riding the wave with the launch of the EAZZE D1 Pro on Amazon and the Aurzen official website. Crafted to elevate the immersive viewing experience to new heights, the EAZZE D1 Pro features authentic 350 ANSI lumens brightness and powerful dual 10W speakers powered by superior Dolby Audio and the audio technology formerly known as dbx-tv, now renamed Total Sonics.

Pro on Brightness: Authentic 350 ANSI Lumens

The Aurzen EAZZE D1 Pro boasts its authentic 350 ANSI lumens brightness. In today’s market, many projector brands tend to inflate their brightness specifications, often leaving consumers disappointed when the actual performance does not match the advertised claims. This results in a gap between the investment made and the experience delivered. Aurzen takes a different approach, grounded in honesty and precision. The brightness level of the EAZZE D1 Pro isn’t overstated—what is advertised is exactly what you will experience. With Aurzen, users can trust that the product’s performance will align with their expectations, ensuring that the investment is truly worthwhile.

With authentic 350 ANSI lumens, the EAZZE D1 Pro delivers a bright, clear picture without requiring complete darkness, whether users are watching a movie in the living room with some ambient light or hosting an outdoor gathering at sunset.

Pro on Sound: Dolby Audio, dbx-tv, and 2x10W Speakers

Equally as critical as visuals in delivering an immersive experience, the D1 Pro excels in audio performance with dual stereo 2x10W speakers, enhanced by Dolby Audio and dbx-tv (Total Sonics) technology, transforming any viewing space into a dynamic audio-visual arena. Dolby Audio provides an expansive soundstage with clear, nuanced audio that captures every detail from the whispering winds to roaring crowds, ensuring dialogue, music, and effects are heard with incredible clarity and depth.

Notably, the D1 Pro is the world’s first projector to integrate Total Sonics audio processing, an innovation typically reserved for high-end televisions. The Total Sonics offers finely tuned audio enhancements that boost volume, bass, and treble, creating a balanced, immersive soundscape. This advanced technology includes three distinct sound processes (Total Sonics, Total Volume, and Total Surround) which can be applied depending on the specific viewing scenario:

Total Sonics Mode: Ideal for watching all types of programs and under nearly all circumstances, it enhances overall sound quality, extending highs and lows and providing a rich and well balanced viewing experience.
Total Volume Mode: Designed to eliminate disruptive volume spikes, this technology evens out the audio level to make quiet dialogue clearer, limit the volume of loud noises, and tame loud commercials. It’s perfect for nighttime TV watching to avoid disturbing others.
Total Surround Mode: This technology creates a virtual surround-sound experience, ideal for movies and music, while maintaining a perfect balance between dialogue and effects.

Pro on Control: Infrared and Bluetooth Remote

The EAZZE D1 Pro features both infrared and Bluetooth modules to provide more freedom in room layout and seating arrangements. Unlike traditional infrared (IR) remotes, which require a direct line of sight, the Bluetooth remote allows users to control the projector from any angle or even from other rooms. This flexibility makes it far more convenient to use, especially in larger spaces or multi-angle setups. A simple click on the Bluetooth remote is all it takes to dive into a world of entertainment, no matter where they’re seated in a living room. Users can instantly access their favorite streaming apps, like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, without navigating through multiple menus.

Pro on Streaming: Built-in Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and More

The EAZZE D1 Pro comes with pre-installed official apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video. This seamless integration eliminates the need for users to purchase or plug in extra devices. Thanks to the official licensed apps, the projector offers better streaming quality at faster loading times and more stable performance, reducing buffering or connection issues. By providing direct access to the world’s most popular streaming platforms, users have endless entertainment options at their fingertips, ranging from movies and TV shows to YouTube videos. This wide content variety ensures that the projector caters to a diverse set of entertainment preferences.

Pro on Alignment: Auto Focus and Auto Keystone

Aurzen’s commitment to immersion and versatility is further highlighted by the screen auto assist features of the D1 Pro to get a perfect TV display in seconds. These include Auto Focus for crystal-clear images, Auto Keystone for flawless screen correction, Intelligent Screen Alignment for precise projection fitting, and Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance to ensure uninterrupted viewing by detecting and avoiding obstacles. The screen auto-assist feature simplifies the setup process and, in the meantime, maintains the perfect and clear display during viewing, which ensures that users won’t be interrupted when they totally immerse in the movies or TV shows. The perfection goes further on portable use. The projector instantly adapts to its environment, delivering a flawless picture every time, whether setting it up indoors or outdoors, for events, or in different rooms.

A Quick Comparison：EAZZE D1 Pro vs. EAZZE D1

The EAZZE D1 Pro distinguishes itself with its 350 ANSI lumens brightness, dual 10W speakers with Dolby Audio and dbx-tv (Total Sonics), and an IR + Bluetooth remote control, making it the perfect choice for outdoor movie parties with ambient light and indoor well-lit environments. Its brightness and sound quality make it ideal for a range of activities, from daytime viewing in living rooms to gaming and movie nights in small theaters. Despite its advanced features, the D1 Pro offers exceptional value with only a modest price increase over the EAZZE D1.

In contrast, the EAZZE D1 delivers excellent performance at a budget-friendly price, offering 200 ANSI lumens, dual 8W speakers with Dolby Audio, and an IR remote. It’s perfect for those looking to bring the cinema home on a budget. the D1 packs in all the smart features, ideal for cozy movie marathons in dorm rooms, family bonding nights, or even casual gaming setups, It’s the go-to choice for anyone seeking an affordable yet feature-rich projector for creating memorable entertainment experiences in smaller, darker spaces.

Both models feature built-in, officially licensed Netflix content and screen auto-assist features, providing a convenient and straightforward streaming experience with either option. While the EAZZE D1 Pro offers enhanced performance, the EAZZE D1 provides a more budget-friendly option without sacrificing essential features.

May 13, 2026

ABU DHABI, UAE, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, together with the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC), today announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch), one of the world’s leading cancer research institutions and home to three Nobel laureates.

By pairing Abu Dhabi’s unified clinical and genomic data infrastructure, sovereign AI capabilities and governed data environments with Fred Hutch’s globally renowned research engine, the ensuing collaborations will pave the way to shortening the distance between scientific discovery and patient benefit, for Abu Dhabi’s community and beyond.

Among the projected collaborations, the two organizations will consider leveraging Abu Dhabi’s intelligent health system, and layering Fred Hutch’s world-class science onto the secure, high-quality, real-world data foundation Abu Dhabi has built. That foundation includes the emirate’s pioneering liquid biopsy programme launched last year, one of the first national-scale efforts of its kind anywhere in the world. Alongside Abu Dhabi’s AI multi-cancer early detection work, and the world’s largest clinically integrated population-scale genomics programme – with nearly one million genomes sequence.

During his visit to the center, HE Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori, Chairman of DoH commented: “Cancer is one of the defining health challenges of our time, and progress depends on combining world-class science with population-scale data, advanced AI, and research. In Abu Dhabi, we have built an AI-enabled health system that ‘cares before it cures, delivering prevention at population scale. We are already achieving some of the highest early cancer detection rates in the world, and through our partnership with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center we are committed to bringing breakthroughs to people in Abu Dhabi and beyond.”

“This MOU between Fred Hutch Cancer Center and the Abu Dhabi Department of Health underscores the power of working together to prevent and treat cancer,” said Thomas Lynch Jr., MD, president and director of Fred Hutch and holder of the Raisbeck Endowed Chair. “Our organizations share a deep commitment to research and to provide the highest levels of cancer prevention, diagnosis and care to our communities, and we are excited to bring our expertise, tools and datasets together to identify unique approaches to cancer care and research in pursuit of our boldest goals.”

HBX group also continued embedding AI across products and operations, including AI-powered solutions for Bedsonline and HotelTech, while scaling internal AI agents already delivering measurable savings and supporting more than 120 identified use cases, reinforcing the Group’s connected B2B travel ecosystem strategy.

Regional performance and trading dynamics

TTV grew in double-digits in all three regions, up +18% in the Americas and +16% in both MEAPAC and Europe, at constant currency.

In Europe, TTV growth was supported by strong intra‑regional and domestic travel. Asia Pacific up +18%, partly offset by slower growth in the Middle East and disruption on some Europe-Asia corridors. In the Americas, TTV was predominantly driven by domestic demand.

Middle East impact and near‑term outlook

Since late February, the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East has impacted travel demand across affected destinations and selected international corridors, resulting in increased volatility, shorter booking windows and reduced near‑term visibility. The impact of this on H1 Group TTV growth was approximately 1ppt.

HBX Group implemented dynamic pricing, inventory reallocation and active partner support. Demand outside affected corridors has been more resilient.

Cost discipline, cash generation and capital allocation

Underlying operating costs fell by 5%. Performance was supported by productivity initiatives, automation and AI.

On a last 12-month basis, Operating Free Cash Flow was €447m, with cash conversion of 103% over the last 12 months. Adjusted Net Debt at 31 March 2026 stood at €741m.

Outlook

The Group started FY26 with strong performance. Since late February, trading conditions have been adversely impacted by the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and broader geopolitical uncertainty.

The Group has revised its FY26 guidance. Updated outlook reflects a -4ppt effect of the Middle East conflict on TTV growth. Assumes four months of disruption with gradual stabilisation.
