Evans & Sutherland to Debut New 8K x 4K Pixel Laser Projector at InfoComm09
The ESLP 8K is the highest resolution production digital projector with fidelity that exceeds the limits of the human eye.
* NanoPixel Technology Generates Superior Picture Quality
The ESLP 8K laser
projector system displays content the equivalent to sixteen times HD 1080p
resolution, or the difference between 2 million pixels and 32 million. It is
powered by a set of revolutionary laser light sources which offer multiple
benefits, including low cost of operation. The hue of the lasers does not
degrade or shift over time. Furthermore, the lasers yield a much wider
useable color spectrum (200% of
NTSC/HDTV) than is available in conventional LCoS, DLP, LCD, or other
lamp-illuminated projectors.
E&S' unique NanoPixel silicon imaging chip is at the core of this high-resolution machine. Its 8,192 microscopic moving ribbons provide an image free of artifacts, with no visible gaps between pixels and absolutely zero persistence (smearing) in moving images. The control of these ribbons is fine enough to yield a 36-bit/pixel (12-bit/color) useable precision in intensity.
* Environmentally Sensitive
Despite its capability, the ESLP 8K comes with a surprisingly small
environmental footprint. Its unique solid state laser light sources require
only modest, quiet cooling and allow the projector to be powered from an
ordinary wall outlet, thereby using significantly less power than other
lower resolution 2K and 4K projectors.
Furthermore, the laser light sources do not require periodic replacement
(and disposal) as is the case with conventional lamp-driven projectors.
* ESLP 8K Available for Traditional and Custom Applications
The ESLP 8K
projector is targeted for commercial use in control rooms, visualization
centers, education, simulation, editing, design studios, and other demanding
applications all over the world. E&S will also continue to draw on its
extensive research and development capabilities to meet the needs of its
customers for customized and unique applications for the new ESLP 8K
projector.
Evans & Sutherland, a company that has been setting the standard in advanced computer graphics for the past four decades, is poised to continue the trend at this year's InfoComm09. The E&S Advanced Displays exhibit will be located at booth number 2372 in Hall C on the main show floor, and will showcase the ESLP 8K. The laser projector will be featured at the booth with a flat-screen forward projection display showing both 3D video at 4K and ultra-high resolution video at 8K, where InfoComm attendees will be able to experience the technology first-hand.
