DPI ANNOUNCES 3 NEW LIGHTNING PROFESSIONAL SERIES NATIVE SX+ DISPLAYS

KENNESAW, GA, (June 2, 2006) - Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy(r) Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced major enhancements to it's SX+ resolution LIGHTNING Professional series platform. A total of three new products are being introduced to the flagship product range, bringing the LIGHTNING SX+ family to a total of 4 units - two featuring integrated electronics and two producing 22,000 lumens of brightness - a 31% increase over the brightness of the original LIGHTNING 30sx+.

Major advances in the illumination and cooling systems that DP employs within its LIGHTNING platform allow the new LIGHTNING 40sx+ and 40isx+ to reach brightness levels of 22,000 center lumens and 21,000 ANSI lumens, thus joining the recently announced 2K resolution LIGHTNING 40HD-T as the most powerful projectors in the DPI product line, and in their performance class. Engineered around DPI's proprietary Hyper-Cooled lamp module, all LIGHTNING 40 series projectors benefit from improved thermal characteristics and extended reflector life, therefore providing a significant reduction to long-term cost of ownership.

"DPI's exclusive Hyper Cooled lamp module has allowed us to explore more powerful illumination systems, and to release the full potential of the rugged and show-ready LIGHTNING platform," stated Mike Levi, president of Digital Projection, Inc. "When considered along with the amazing image quality rendered by our next generation electronics, the new LIGHTNING sx+ displays are powerful, best-in-class imaging machines, and make an uncontested statement about DP's commitment to the large venue industry."

By maintaining the same optical platform in the LIGHTNING 40sx+ and 40isx+ that DPI employs in the 30sx+, 35HD-T and 40HD-T, inherent lamp module compatibility across the entire LIGHTNING Pro series product line is ensured. This is a major benefit for stagers who will operate mixed fleets of Lightning 30 and 40 series projectors.

Along with the 31% increase in brightness, the new LIGHTNING 40isx+ and the 16000 ANSI lumen 30isx+, feature DPI's next-generation integrated electronics, providing direct connectivity to all video, HD and computer source formats and resolutions. Each LIGHTNING Pro series projector comes equipped with seven standard inputs including HD/SD-SDI and HDCP compliant DVI. All source switching and image processing can be conducted from within the projector through the use of a rear console, or via various automation control protocols including RS-232, LAN and wireless connectivity.

Other features of the LIGHTNING Pro sx+ projectors include:
* Class leading de-interlacing/processing of SD and HD sources
* Pixel-based motion adaptive interpolation on SD and digital HD inputs
* Maximum total chassis power consumption of less than 4.5KW, allowing all LIGHTNING displays to be operated from single-phase 208V power, readily available in any venue.
* Class-leading thermal dissipation of 15,345 BTU/hr, reducing the requirement for additional cooling or exhaust chimneys.
* A low operating noise of just 59dB, less than one eighth the sound level of some competitive projectors capable of producing more than 20,000 lumens.
* DP's integrated Pro-Series rigging frame, with pitch and roll adjustments and pin-locking stacking points, simplifies on-site rigging and stacking alignment.
* A precisely accurate programmable lens mount, providing 1/4 pixel landing accuracy, enables the LIGHTNING 30 and 40 series to automatically transition between sources and screens of different aspect ratios or different sizes, within the same show.
* Sealed Optics at the DMD interface vastly reduce prism contamination in hostile operating venues.

Digital Projection is currently accepting orders for the new 16,000 ANSI lumen LIGHTNING 30iSX+, and the new 21,000 ANSI lumen 40sx+ and 40isx+. The new products will be introduced at INFOCOMM, June 7, 8 and 9 in Orlando Florida. Shipments will commence in Q3 2006.
