Texas Instrumentsí DLP Home Entertainment System

One of the ""must see"" booths at this year's Consumer Electronics Show was the Texas Instruments (TI) exhibit (Booth 2315). There, the company demonstrated a range of applications for its innovative Digital Light Processing( (DLP() technology including the first public showing of a variety of potential home entertainment products featuring DLP.""The outstanding image quality for which DLP is renowned has won hearts and minds throughout the business projector community,"" said Dale Zimmerman, Home Entertainment Product Manager. ""Over the past few months, we've seen it gaining increasing popularity among home entertainment users and, here at CES, we're showing our vision of what we believe the future holds. We believe that 2000 will be a significant year for DLP in the home.""In the Texas Instruments booth, TI featured prototype large screen, rear projection home entertainment systems showing high definition material: visitors can expect to be impressed, not only by the stunning quality of the HD images, but also by cabinet designs which would be at home in any living room or den and which are uniquely enabled by the small form factor of the DLP subsystem. TI will also demonstrate its vision of how home entertainment will look in the future, with broadcast programming, web access and computer gaming all taking place at the same time on the same screen. Also on show will be prototype front projection systems that have the potential to change forever the way visitors think about home entertainment. And, finally, for the high-end consumer, TI will demonstrate its high brightness system that won rave reviews at CES last year.
