Similar to DPI’s TheaterScope package previously released for its 1280 x 720 resolution projectors, the TheaterScope Premier system includes a high quality 1.33 anamorphic lens and a precision engineered motorized lens sled. The new “premier” lens provides a wider aperture, which is required for the larger image size created by the native 1920 x 1080 pixel DMD(s). The TheaterScope Premier can also be used with DPI’s 720p projectors for improved geometry performance. The included motorized sled provides accurate, RS232 controlled positioning of the anamorphic lens in front of the primary projection lens.

DPI’s TheaterScope Systems are specifically designed for use with the company’s single-chip dVision, and three-chip Mercury and TITAN series projectors. The primary benefit of the TheaterScope Systems is to enable native HD projectors with 16 x 9 aspect ratios to display both HD and 2.35:1 content on fixed-height screens, with no letterbox (horizontal black bars). The resulting image is always presented at full projector native resolution while filling the entire screen, whether 16 x 9 or 2.35:1 - creating an entertainment experience similar to that of the finest commercial cinemas.

Digital Projection is currently shipping the TheaterScope and TheaterScope Premier Systems as options for its dVision, Mercury and TITAN projectors in both the HD (720p) and 1080p platforms.

DPI will be demonstrating the TheaterScope Systems, on dVision and TITAN projectors, in booth # 558 at CEDIA 2006, September 14th – 18th in Denver, Colorado.
