Digital Projection Ltd Supports Production Show for Third Consecutive Year

Digital Projection Display Technology Utilised to Maximise Impact of Seminars to Wow Audiences

Manchester, 8th March 2001 - Digital Projection Limited - a wholly owned subsidiary of IMAX Corporation - today announced that the Production Show 2001 has exclusively selected its Digital Projection projectors for two of the exhibition's main seminar rooms. The announcement marks the third consecutive year Digital Projection has provided projectors for what promises to be the most vibrant and progressive business event for the UK production industry this year.

Digital Projection will provide two high performance LIGHTNING 15sx projectors for the Production Show 13th - 15th March 2001 at the National Hall, Olympia. The Digital Production Festival, produced in association with Sony, is one of the highlights of the exhibition and will be supported by the Digital Projection LIGHTNING display. With 12,000 ANSI lumens brightness and a resolution of 1280 x 1024, the LIGHTNING 15sx projector will provide maximum impact to presentations for today's production community providing an insight into the major issues affecting their industry. The UK manufactured projector will screen innovative material and display the latest programme techniques presented by leading industry figures including Michael Grade, Chairman, Pinewood Studios and Dave Klafkowski, Director of Operations, The Farm Group. The second LIGHTNING 15sx projector will support the Sony Workshops which include topics such as; Are formats a thing of the past?; Tools for New Media Production; A filmmaker's guide to high definition; and A cut above - Sony's new multi-resolution non-linear platform.

The Digital Projection LIGHTNING range of projection displays are dynamic projection devices engineered and produced in Manchester, England for dramatic indoor and outdoor large screen applications for all entertainment and business environments. With light outputs from 9,000 to more than 12,000 ANSI lumens, the LIGHTNING Displays assure bright, film-like and attention-getting images on any screen size.

The highly acclaimed LIGHTNING 15sx projector features Digital Light Processing™ technology from Texas Instruments. To make the most of this technology, Digital Projection has added its own proprietary optical, illumination and signal processing technologies. The result is stunning large screen reproduction of all images, whether originating in video or computer format. The unparalleled image clarity is partially created by the products' displayable colour spectrum of over one billion colours - nearly equivalent to the spectrum discernable by the human eye.

Karin Hobbs, Sales & Marketing Communications Manager at Digital Projection commented, "Digital Projection is delighted to support The Production Show for the third consecutive year. We are committed to providing high performance digital projection solutions to the production community, to enable industry professionals to display their creative works to the best possible effect and to maximize impact. This exhibition is the perfect platform for us to promote this."
