NXT to showcase latest technologies and prototypes (29/12/2004)

NXT today announces it will demonstrate some of the latest in-market products to incorporate its technologies at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), at the Las Vegas Convention Center, from 6 - 9 January. In addition to displaying some current NXT based consumer products, the company will also be demonstrating some prototypes on the show floor (Booth no. 22114) and in two hospitality suites at the Las Vegas Hilton.

NXT has historically used the CES platform to highlight the latest developments in its core technologies, and this year is no exception, with prototype products from both the portable digital device and display sectors. Many industry leaders, NXT licensees, potential licensees, media representatives and other interested parties have already registered for appointments in the two NXT demonstration suites.

NXT enabled products and prototypes on display at CES 2005 include -

* SoundVu LCD Rear Projection TV - this 50-inch prototype is the first LCD Rear Projection TV to incorporate NXT's SoundVu technology for a true to life home cinema experience and impressive soundstage * NEC Computers and Monitors - the latest innovations from NEC featuring NXT technologies will be on show at CES 2005, including the Valuestar S computers and LaVie laptops, the most recent offerings from NEC to utilise NXT's SoundVu technology. More than 60% of NEC's Valuestar range of products now use SoundVu technology, including flat screen LCD monitors ranging in size from 15-inch to 23-inch * KEF KIT100 is a complete DVD-based system featuring NXT technology. The system incorporates two compact satellite loudspeakers which combine KEF's Uni-Q(r) 'point source' drivers with NXT side-facing panels to deliver a dynamic surround sound effect * AFR loudspeakers - hear these speakers at the show, as featured in the TVR Tuscan 2 (the first vehicle on the road to incorporate NXT's AFR technology) * Philips 32-inch Flat Screen TV - This EISA award-winning TV from Philips 'Matchline' range incorporates NXT's SurfaceSound technology in its grilleless speakers, resulting in enhanced aesthetics and an improved audio experience * Portable audio accessories - including SoundBags, the most successful products in NXT's history to date. These mono and stereo CD cases are a must-have accessory for any traveller. New brand names join the ranks of those already using NXT's technology to create these products which, when connected to a music source such as a portable CD player or notebook computer, pack a powerful audio punch

NXT's CEO, David Pearson comments, "For NXT, CES is one of the most important industry events of the year, and being so well attended and supported, it has always provided us with the opportunity to highlight our capabilities and technologies to many of our existing and potential partners in one place. As well as highlighting our own latest advances, some of our licensees will again be using CES to demonstrate prototypes and launch new products to the market, so we will be available to support them where required."
