DIGITAL PROJECTION ANNOUNCES NEW COST-EFFECTIVE 3-CHIP DLP™ AND SINGLE-CHIP DLP™ PROJECTION SYSTEMS

KENNESAW, GA, (April 2, 2003) - Digital Projection Inc. (DPI), an Emmy® Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced the launch of two new cost-effective projection displays, the MERCURY and iVision series projectors. DPI will exhibit the MERCURY 5000gv and iVision sx for the first time at NAB 2003 (April 7 to 10, Las Vegas).

DPI's new MERCURY projection systems incorporate 3-chip Dark Metal DLP™ technology by Texas Instruments and deliver brightness of 5,000 ANSI lumens and a contrast ratio of 800:1 through XGA native resolution DMD's. In addition, the MERCURY series' greyscale depth of 14-bits per DMD™ creates more than four trillion on-screen colors. This renders the unit ideal for immersive visualization, command and control, military simulation, small port cinema, elite home cinema and numerous staging and broadcast applications.

Weighing only 6.5 pounds, the single-chip DLP™ iVision sx delivers 3,000 ANSI lumens, SXGA native resolution and 1000:1 contrast ratio, in a ultra-compact and portable chassis. The iVision series, DPI's first single-chip projection systems, are ideal for small-to-medium venue applications such as business, training and education, small port cinema, retail, entertainment, religious, sports book and trade show applications.

With the introduction of the iVision and MERCURY projection systems, DPI now offers a DLP™ technology-enabled display to support every application-and price point.

"Our new MECURY and iVision displays are great complements to our outstanding lineup of high-performance HIGHlite, THUNDER and LIGHTNING series projection systems," said Mike Levi, president of Digital Projection, Inc. "For the first time since we entered the projection display market in 1997, any small, medium or large-venue application, in any vertical market, can be served by a precision display from Digital Projection."

Future iVision and MERCURY models that DPI plans to launch this year include the MERCURY HD and iVision HD. Specifically engineered as ideal DLP™ solutions for home cinema applications, the MERCURY HD will be positioned as one of DPI's flagship home cinema displays, while the iVision HD is perfect for mid-level home entertainment.
