Optoma Launches Sovereign Series DLP Front and Rear Projection Product Line

16-Sep-04

Optoma Technology, Inc. has announced the launch of a new product line designed exclusively for the professional, the Sovereign Series of home theater display devices. Optomaís DLP television monitors are quickly becoming recognized as the reference standard for DLP rear-projection technology (see Widescreen Reviewís Display Technology Shoot-Out, September 2004 issue). At the same time, OptomaTVs also offer a professional level of control for the calibrator (individual setting memorization by input type) and for the home theater integrator (full set of discrete IR commands). Now, Optomaís new Sovereign Series of front- and rear-projection products delivers an even higher level of performance and functionality for the home theater professional. Based on Optomaís HD2+ HDTV monitors, the Sovereign HDTV monitors are put together in a special assembly line at Optomaís worldwide headquarters, located in California. Key optical and electronic components are hand selected, matched and fine tuned for the ultimate performance on a rear-projection set.The Sovereign Seriesí first two models - the SV50XF and the SV65XF (50- and 65-inch diagonal image size, respectively) - are also calibrated by ISF-certified technicians here in the US to improve on OptomaTVís already outstanding color fidelity (Digital World Choice Award, October 2004 issue). Furthermore, the Imaging Science Foundationís Certified Calibration Configuration (ISFccc or as itís sometimes referred to as ìISF C-Cubedî) provides the calibrator with a pair of presets that preserves the professionalís ìvalue addedî by allowing him or her to set and lock an ìISF Dayî and an ìISF Nightî mode in addition to the separate, user-adjustable User 1, User 2 and User 3 modes available to the consumer on the Sovereign Series OptomaTVs. The Sovereign HDTV monitors are also guaranteed to be trouble free when they are delivered to the installerís job site. By scrutinizing every detail, including color accuracy and dynamic grey balance on each input, Optoma also ensures that the installation can begin as soon as the display hardware is delivered. Finally, Sovereign HDTV monitors include accessories that the professional expects, such as an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor and a DVI-port audio cable. The Sovereignô monitors will also include a data sheet signed by the technician indicating the setís individual calibration output, giving the job-site calibrator a ìstarting pointî for further fine tuning if needed in the end userís specific ambient-lighting environments.Also part of the Sovereign line is Optomaís currently shipping H77 Home Theater Projector. Like the SV50XF and SV65XF, the H77 ensures a professional level of performance and quality assurance. Not only does the H77 share the Sovereign monitorsí Zero Dead Pixel policy, it also offers advanced home theater features, such as a 100 percent-offset vertical lens shift, an incredibly low 23dB noise level, and a world-class 3500:1 contrast ratio for vivid colors, true blacks and an extraordinary depth of field.For additional Optoma information, please visit http://www.optomausa.com.
