DIGITAL PROJECTION INTERNATIONAL LAUNCHES NEW HIGHLITE 8000DSX+ PROFESSIONAL SERIES PROJECTOR

KENNESAW, GA, (July 2, 2004) - Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced the launch of its second 'Professional Series' HIGHlite projector, the HIGHlite 8000Dsx+. Its predecessor, the higher-brightness HIGHlite 12000Dsx+, was introduced in May 2004.

The SXGA+ native resolution HIGHlite 8000Dsx+ provides an excellent combination of lumen output (8,000 ANSI lumens) and ultra-rich contrast (1800:1 full-field). The combination makes the projector an extraordinary solution for many different applications, ranging from visualization and command and control to elite staging and medium-to-large venue system installations.

The feature-rich HIGHlite 8000Dsx+ can support any video or computer source, includes four-side soft-edge blend capabilities and can be configured to incorporate advanced options such as seamless cross-fade and user-definable geometric warp.

DPI's HIGHlite 8000Dsx+ can be equipped to include the mechanical design elements shared by all of its Professional Series projectors, including an exclusive rigging/stacking system with integrated pitch and roll adjustments. This ingenious configuration renders the 8000Dsx+ "ready to rig or stack" right out of its transit case. The system's three integrated chassis-leveling "jack" points enable users to quickly optimize projector pitch and roll to the exact application requirements.

"The new HIGHlite 8000Dsx+ is a great complement to our other new HIGHlite and LIGHTNING Professional Series projectors," said Mike Levi, president of Digital Projection, Inc. "As a whole, our lineup of highly-capable and easy-to-use 'Pro' Series projectors can serve any staged application or permanent installation requiring at least 8,000 ANSI lumens, ultra-rich contrast, precise geometry and high resolution."

The new HIGHlite 8000Dsx+ will begin shipping in August 2004.
