European Imaging and Sound Association EISA Honors Innovative Home Theater Product from InFocus

InFocus Corporation, the worldwide leader in digital projection technology and services, today announced that its ScreenPlay(TM) 5700 has been chosen as the 2003-2004 European Projector of the Year by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), the largest editorial multimedia organization in Europe.

The ScreenPlay 5700's innovative design and superior performance were instrumental in the decision by the EISA judging panel, comprising experts from over 50 specialist multimedia magazines, drawn from 20 European countries. The ScreenPlay 5700 was chosen over other projectors because of its native 16:9 Wide PAL resolution, Faroudja processing and smart software that combine to provide the most vivid colors, high contrast and the sharpest image to satisfy the most demanding cinephile.

The ScreenPlay 5700 uses the Matterhorn DLP(TM) technology from Texas Instruments with native 16:9 wide PAL resolution, designed specifically for native resolution with PAL sources. For worldwide customers who use PAL video format, the ScreenPlay 5700 will display images in native resolution and aspect ratio, without the distortion commonly associated with conventional conversion techniques.

In addition, the ScreenPlay 5700 offers many other cutting-edge performance features including 1000 lumens for bright pictures and 1400:1 contrast ratio for crisp blacks and detailed gray scale. There are eight selectable video sources for unrivaled connectivity. The ScreenPlay 5700 also employs the new DCDi from Faroudja, which has additional color and sharpness, noise reducers and a videophile-grade scaler.

"Being honored as the European Projector of the Year is a significant accolade for the ScreenPlay 5700, and is sure to have a tremendous impact on the success of our products in Europe and the rest of the world," said Scott Hix, Vice President and General Manager of InFocus Business Development. "As the first to deliver a projector generating native wide PAL resolution, InFocus is continuing to demonstrate its commitment to lead the market as the best solution provider for home theater projection and technology innovation."

InFocus offers a complete series of ScreenPlay home theater projectors, each with an unmatched, award-winning combination of quality, technology and performance at obtainable prices.
