Digital Projection Expands Single-Chip DLP Display Lineup With New Dual-Lamp dVidion SX+ and dVision HD Projectors
Company Now Offers Seven Projectors Under $30K MSRP
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.
