KENNESAW, GA, (October 7, 2003) - Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy® Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced 15 of its LIGHTNING 28sx projectors were used during the 55th Annual Primetime Emmy® Awards on September 21 at the Shrine Auditorium in Hollywood, CA. Creative Technology North America, an international audio and video solutions provider and authorized DPI staging partner, managed the integration and inventory of the display technology.

The Awards, hosted by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and broadcasted live on FOX, the 2003 Emmys® featured DPI's 16,000 ANSI lumen, 3-chip DLP™ LIGHTNING 28sx displays to project dazzling video images onto four different screens.

The most dynamic on-stage set elements were two 45-foot, curved rear-projection screens illuminated by a 2 x 5 array of LIGHTNING projectors. Other set elements in which DPI's LIGHTNING projectors were used included a 22 and one-half-foot by 30-foot front-projection screen employing a 3 x 1 array (above center stage) and two front-projection 12-foot by 16-foot "audience" screens (stage left and right).
This is the 11th Emmy® event in which Frank McMinn, Vice President of Entertainment, Creative Technology Los Angeles has been involved in.

"After recently adding several LIGHTING 28sx projectors to Creative Technology's National inventory of projection equipment, we were confident that DPI product was the best choice for this high profile event. Their reliability and high brightness make them the ideal projector to use with broadcast lighting." said McMinn.

"We are extremely pleased that our precision displays were be relied upon by the Emmys again this year," said Mike Levi, president of Digital Projection, Inc. "Over the years, Digital Projection is fortunate to have established the trust of the event's producers, as well of that of Creative Technology Group, and we're thankful that our LIGHTNING series projectors were once again an important set element."

DPI's high-performance LIGHTNING, THUNDER and HIGHlite displays have been used for every major televised broadcast Awards program, including the Emmy's®, Oscar's®, Grammy's®, Blockbuster© Music Awards, the American Music Awards and, most recently, the 2003 Miss America Pageant. Projectors by DPI can be found in Hollywood studios, screening rooms, postproduction facilities, corporate boardrooms, worship venues, broadcast sets, command and control facilities, visualization applications, retail outlets, and prestigious home theaters.
