The Art of projecting Perfection - ThemeScene launch the "Designed for Europe" H57 Home Cinema projector (3/2/2005)

Building on the success of the multi-award winning ThemeScene(tm) Home Cinema range of projectors, Optoma proudly present the ThemeScene(tm) H57.

Designed for European Widescreen, the H57 offers exceptional image quality, proving that high performance and competitive pricing can go hand-in-hand.

A remarkable 3500:1 contrast ratio and stunning 23dB whisper quiet operation provide an immersive viewing experience that combined with the latest Native PAL Widescreen DLP(tm) technology provide the purest possible image quality for European Widescreen.

The ThemeScene(tm) 'Pure View' technology and Native 576P, 1024x576 (16:9) DarkChip2(tm) DLP(tm) provides 1:1 pixel mapping for 16:9 PAL whilst the four-speed, six-Segment colour wheel and 900 video optimised Lumens produce a bright, sparkling, crystal clear image with fantastic lifelike detail.

The H57 projector is compatible with every digital and analog source. It has a DVI HDCP and HDMI (via a bundled adaptor) compatible inputs for the highest quality digital signals. Unique SCART RGB support is provided for direct hassle free connection to Freeview(tm) and Sky(tm) systems. Up to 3 component inputs (576i/p, 480i/p, 720p 1080i) can be connected simultaneously for the highest quality DVD viewing. S-video and composite video inputs provide legacy support.

ThemeScene(tm) H57 also features a revolutionary Shield Design casing. This advanced casing technology prevents unwanted light emissions and by the same token enables a near silent operation. The key to this technology lies in the strategic use of baffles within the cooling tunnel to reduce air flow speed and the whisper quiet noise level.

"The H57 continues the ThemeScene(tm) commitment to European Home Cinema Enthusiasts by enabling European Widescreen to be displayed in its purest possible form. The ThemeScene(tm) 'Pure View' technology exactly matches the native resolution of the H57 to European (PAL) Widescreen video, thereby eliminating scaling artefacts and technically displaying more detail than is possible with any other system." Said Bob Johnson Marketing Manager of Optoma Europe

Over the last 2 years ThemeScene(tm) has received over 35 major awards for video quality in 11 European countries.

Features include:

* Native PAL (16:9) resolution for astounding image quality * Exceptional contrast ratio 3500:1 * 23dB for silent operation * DarkChip2(tm) Digital Light Processing(tm) technology from Texas Instruments * 3 year HOT SWAP on-site warranty including Zero Dead Pixel guarantee
