KENNESAW,
GA, (September 9, 2004)
- Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy Award-winning manufacturer
of high-performance projection systems, announced the launch
of two new dual-lamp, dual-color wheel, single-chip DLP™ projectors,
the dVision sx+ and dVision HD. DPI will display the new dVision HD
for the first time in Booth 710 at the CEDIA Expo 2004 (September 10
to 12; Indiana Convention Center; Indianapolis, IN).
DPI's new 1400 x
1050 native resolution dVision sx+ delivers a maximum brightness of
5,000 ANSI lumens and up to 5000:1 contrast through a selectable, motorized
lens aperture. The product employs Texas Instruments' new Dark Metal
III™ SXGA+ resolution single-chip
DLP™ technology. The 16 x 9 native aspect ratio dVision HD, specifically
designed for a
wide variety of home cinema, media and entertainment applications, also
delivers a maximum brightness of 5,000 ANSI lumens, and can produce
up to 6000:1 contrast ratio through its selectable, motorized lens aperture.
The new dVision
projectors can be configured with a variety of high performance fixed
and zoom lenses, all of which offer lens shift capability, providing
the systems integrator with tremendous installation flexibility. The
dVision series also features dual 250W lamps that can be configured
to provide up to 8000 hours of use before lamp replacement is required.
Other capabilities include motorized lens shift, focus and IRIS adjustment
as well as RS232 and LAN connection for remote and advanced systems
control. Also standard is the support of an extensive array of video,
HD and computer input formats.
"With their
combination of incredible brightness, unsurpassed contrast, ultra-long-life
lamps, flexible lens options and advanced control features, our new,
dual-color wheel dVision displays elevate single-chip DLP capability
to a dramatically higher level of performance," said Mike Levi,
president of Digital Projection, Inc. "With all of these benefits,
we expect the dVision series will be quickly adopted as the projection
solution of choice for a wide variety of applications and environments."
By adding the new
dVision HD and sx+ to their projector lineup, DPI now offers seven ultra-high-performance
projectors in the $12K - $30K MSRP range. These projectors are the iVision
sx+, iVision HD-7, the new dVision HD and sx+ and the 3-chip DLP™
MERCURY HD, 5000HD and 5000gv.
"Whether one
chooses a new dVision, iVision, MERCURY, HIGHlite or our award-winning
LIGHTNING Professional series display, our customers can always be confident
that, in any venue, they will enjoy the precise imaging experience that
is the Digital Projection hallmark and legacy," continued Levi.
The dVision sx+ will begin shipping in Q4 2004, while the dVision HD
will begin shipping in Q1, 2005.
