Digital Projection Sign Distribution Agreement with BVD Systems to Supply Malaysian Market with DLP™ Projectors.

Manchester, 17th April 2001 - Digital Projection Limited - a wholly owned subsidiary of IMAX Corporation - announced the appointment of Malaysian company BVD Systems Sdn Bhd as an official Digital Projection distributor. This strategic partnership will expand Digital Projection's market-leading digital projection technology into Malaysian vertical markets.

The Digital Projection HIGHlite, POWER & LIGHTNING Displays are dynamic projection devices engineered for dramatic indoor and outdoor large screen applications for all entertainment and business environments. With light outputs from 3,000 to more than 12,000 ANSI lumens, the HIGHlite, POWER and LIGHTNING Displays assure bright, film-like and attention-getting images on any screen size.

1998 Emmy award winners, POWER Displays projection systems are the result of a ten year development programme between Texas Instruments and Digital Projection, the only British manufacturer of fully digital projectors. At the heart of each Digital Projection Display is the compelling 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.

The highly acclaimed LIGHTNING 15sx projector with 12,000 ANSI lumens brightness and native resolution of 1280 x 1024 will be showcase at the BVD Systems Product Showcase on 25th April 2001. BVD Systems will also display the POWER DVX and POWER 8sx.

"Digital Projection is delighted to appoint and welcome BVD Systems as our distributor for the Malaysian market. We have experienced a great deal of success in Asia and we anticipate a very successful partnership between our two companies." explained Nick Cottiss, International Sales & Marketing Director at Digital Projection Ltd.
