Digital Projection Announces New Single-Chip DLP Projection System

19-May-03

Digital Projection Inc. (DPI) announced the launch of a new single-chip projection display based on DLPô technology, the iVision HD. The 1280 x 720 native resolution iVision HD joins the recently introduced 3,000-ANSI lumen iVision SX in DPI's product line, and will be exhibited at infoComm 2003, June 3-5 in Orlando, Florida.Weighing 6.5 pounds, the iVision HD delivers 1,000 ANSI lumens and a 2,300:1 contrast ratio in a compact and portable chassis.""The iVision HD is the perfect projection system for any small- to medium-sized home entertainment venue,"" said George Walter, Home Cinema Market Development Manager for Digital Projection, Inc. ""The color depth and black levels are astounding. It's very user-friendly and benefits from a long-life UHPô lamp system that is very low-cost and ultra-reliable.""In addition to the iVision HD, later this year DPI will introduce the MERCURY HD, a high-performance, entry-level three-chip projection system featuring the same 1280 x 720 DLP technology employed in the iVision HD. The MERCURY HD will be positioned as DPI's flagship product for mid-range home cinemas, and is suitable for screens up to 12-feet wide. The MERCURY HD and iVision HD complement DPI's existing line of three-chip DLP-based home cinema projection systems including the HIGHlite Platinum HC, Gold HC, and the flagship DLP Cinemaô-certified iS10. However, the MERCURY and iVision displays are positioned to compete with less capable entry-level projectors in the market.""With the addition of the iVision HD and MERCURY HD, DPI now offers the clear and superior benefits of DLP imaging for any home media application and budget, be it a small-to-mid-sized home cinema, multi-functional family room, dedicated media room, or a million dollar-plus home screening venue,"" said Mike Levi, President of Digital Projection, Inc. ""Our carefully crafted iVision, MERCURY, HIGHlite, and iS10 displays provide breathtaking imagery and incredible functionality. The result is in-home entertainment, suited for any environment, that is truthfully beyond compare.""With shipments commencing in June 2003, the iVision HD comes standard with a 1.75-2.25:1 zoom lens as well as a soft-shell carrying case and infrared remote control. Optional accessories include a 1.0:1 wide-angle lens and ceiling mount.For more information about Digital Projection, visit www.digitalprojection.com.
