Digital Projection Announces Key Platform Improvements To Its Mercury HD Home Entertainment Projector

29-Nov-04

Digital Projection International (DPI) announced two performance upgrades to its MERCURY HD 3-chip DLPô home entertainment projector. The first is a novel approach to chassis cooling, which results in an operating noise level of 35dB. The second is the inclusion of full High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) compliance.HDCP compliance enables the projector to display the highest quality, high-value content, such as copyrighted Hollywood movies on DVD and High-Definition satellite channels, through the MERCURY HD's all-digital DVI input.Both upgrades join a list of standard features available on the 16 x 9 aspect ratio MERCURY HD, which lists for under $30,000. According to George Walter, Home Cinema Marketing Manager for DPI, HDCP compliance and 35dB operational sound level are important features that assure the MERCURY HD remains invisible in a given environment. ""The paramount benefits a projector must deliver are impeccable imaging quality and a seamless entertainment experience,"" he said. "" At Digital Projection, precise imaging quality is our heritage - no other manufacturer knows more about maximizing 3-chip DLP performance than DPI. HDCP compliance and ultra-quite operation simply assure the only display-produced sensation commanding attention in the theater is the powerful cinematic imagery being displayed"". All current and future shipments of the MERCURY HD employ the 35dB operational sound level upgrade. Additionally, all of DPI's MERCURY series projectors (5000gv, HD and 5000HD) benefit from the newly announced HDCP compliance. Digital Projection began first shipments of the MERCURY series projectors earlier this year.
