DIGITAL PROJECTION ANNOUNCES 2ND GENERATION 16:9 ASPECT RATIO

KENNESAW, Ga., (July 22, 2004) - Digital Projection Inc. (DPI), an Emmy* Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced the launch of its second-generation single-chip DLP(tm) projection display, the iVision HD-7. The 1280 x 720 native resolution display will be exhibited at CEDIA Expo (Booth #1828, September 8 to 12, Indianapolis, IN). Specifically designed for a wide variety of home cinema, media and entertainment applications, the iVision HD-7 delivers 1,000 ANSI lumens and 3000:1 contrast ratio in an ultra-compact and portable chassis. It is equipped with a standard 1.75-2.25:1 zoom lens, but the versatile projector can also be outfitted with either a 1.0:1 fixed, wide-angle lens or a long-throw, 2.5-3.5:1 zoom lens. The most dramatic improvements in picture quality experienced with the second-generation iVision HD-7-more distinct black areas and shadow detail-are credited to the application of a new seven-segment color wheel. The imaging benefits of this technology are especially important for discerning clients in the home integration market.

"The iVision HD has been an incredible performer for small-to-medium sized home entertainment venues," said George Walter, home cinema marketing manager for Digital Projection, Inc. "The seven-segment color wheel iVision HD-7 provides a dramatically improved image, making it one of the most compelling projectors under $20K." Digital Projection's single-chip DLP(tm) home cinema projector lineup also includes the new iVision sx+ and, by Q4 2004, the dual-lamp dVision HD-7 and dVision sx+. The company's lineup of single-chip DLP(tm) displays complements its 3-chip DLP(tm) offerings, which includes the performance-driven MERCURY HD and 2K resolution Reference Displays.

The new iVision HD-7 will begin shipping in Q3 2004.
