DPI unveils Mercury HD DLP home cinema projector

Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy(r) Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced the launch of a new home entertainment-oriented and cost-effective projection display based on three-chip DLP(tm) technology by Texas Instruments - the Mercury HD. The 1280x720 native-resolution Mercury HD will be formally introduced at CEDIA Expo (Sept. 3 to 7, Indianapolis).

The Mercury HD delivers 1750 ANSI lumens and a 2400:1 contrast ratio and features Texas Instruments' Dark Metal(tm) DMDs for superior black-level performance. It employs a low-cost, long-life high intensity discharge (HID) lamp system and can be outfitted with a variety of fixed and power zoom lenses. The Mercury HD is ideal for small- to medium-sized home theaters, multifunction family rooms or dedicated media rooms. "The powerful, high-contrast Mercury HD is the perfect projection system for those who desire the clear and superior benefits of three-chip DLP imaging at an exceptional value," said George Walter, home cinema marketing manager for Digital Projection, Inc. "There has been a compelling need for a product like the Mercury HD in the home cinema marketplace, and as the leader in three-chip DLP displays, Digital Projection is thrilled to be the first company to provide this platform." The Mercury HD complements DPI's existing line of single-chip and three-chip DLP home cinema projection systems, including the iVision HD, HIGHlite Platinum HC, HIGHlite Gold HC and the flagship DLP Cinema(tm) - certified iS10.
