InFocus(R) Corporation (Nasdaq:INFS), the worldwide leader in digital projection technology and services, today announced that the InFocus ScreenPlay(TM)7205, the newest home theater projector to bring high-definition image quality to the custom and install market, is available for purchase. The ScreenPlay 7205 continues the InFocus commitment to provide the custom installation channel and the informed enthusiast with a family of products that deliver the best in theater-quality performance.

The ScreenPlay 7205 is built on the award-winning platform of the InFocus ScreenPlay 7200, which was voted Video Product of the Year by CEDIA in 2002, and is a best seller in the U.S. according to Home Theater Research Group. The ScreenPlay 7205 boasts improved performance and enhanced features that make it the premier choice for consumers looking for a high-quality home theater. With improved contrast ratio, enhanced zoom lens and the latest video processing technology, the ScreenPlay 7205 delivers amazing image quality for less than $9,000.

"The ScreenPlay 7205 is the latest example of how InFocus continues to exceed expectations for home theater projection by delivering outstanding video projection performance without compromise," said Candace Petersen, Vice President, Corporate Marketing and Strategy at InFocus. "The ScreenPlay 7205 is proof positive of our dedication to provide what both the custom channel partners and home theater aficionados want: the finest projector performance for the money."

With the new "Mustang" HD2+ DLP(R) technology from Texas Instruments(R), the ScreenPlay 7205 has increased brightness and contrast enabling a clearer, sharper image. To achieve the truest, most accurate color, the ScreenPlay 7205 has a custom-designed, seven-segment 5x color wheel that provides more bit depth for smoother images and comes calibrated to the D65 color mastering standards used by Hollywood, for out-of-the-box image perfection.

Committed to delivering the absolute best products, the ScreenPlay 7205 comes with enhanced Faroudja DCDi, the FLI2310. This chip improves the movie theater experience of front projection with a new 3:2 to 2:2 pull down conversion circuit, and a 48Hz film mode which will display DVD film material at 48 Hz, the same refresh rate as film projectors, eliminating the uneven image stuttering seen with NTSC video. Rounding out the new features is the addition of a new, all glass zoom lens designed by Carl Zeiss. For increased installation flexibility, the 72mm standard filter thread can be used for color filtering applications or neutral density, allowing the use of smaller screen sizes if necessary.

The ScreenPlay 7205 is designed to suit the needs of home theater owners or installers who value video performance and crave an impressive display using the latest technology.

The ScreenPlay 7205 will be available in Q2 at the estimated price of $8,999 USD.
