Projectiondesign Action! series are put through their paces at CEDIA Expo 2005 (31/5/2005)

Stand B56, Hall 3, CEDIA UK Expo 2005

The projectiondesign Action! series of high performance DLP home cinema projectors will all be on show on RGB SmartHome's stand at Cedia Expo in June. The award winning Action! model one mk II and model one mk III, as well as the brand new twin lamp Action! model three will all be put through their paces.

The Action! model one series is a remarkably flexible family of dedicated high performance single chip DLP' projectors that pack a tremendous punch for what is a remarkably small, unobtrusive package that fits stylishly into any home cinema setting. The very low operating sound levels - 28 dB(A) - and wide range of colour options further enhance the appeal of the Action! Standard colour options include Maranello Blue, Pearl White and Satin Gold, whilst special custom colours Rosso Corsa, Diablo Yellow and Gloss Black are also available.

The Action! model one mk III, the third edition of this award-winning series of projectors was the first projector in its class to ship with Texas Instruments' HD2+ DC3(TM) DLP(TM) technology. The combination of the new DarkChip technology and the Action's 7-segment colour wheel ensures dramatically improved image quality.

These enhancements to what was already a great projector (the Action! model one mk II) address and improve upon the most common concerns of the discerning viewer. With greater colour fidelity, a more correct black colour point, increased contrast (4000:1 compared with 3000:1 of the mkII) and colour resolution, image detail is improved and the naturalness of the image improved even further.

All Action! home cinema projectors are HD compatible with a DVI-D input and can easily be integrated within home automation installations with their extensive control options, including RS232 control interface, 12V triggers and discrete IR remote control.

"A major benefit from the users' perspective is that their investment is protected and future-proofed" commented RGB SmartHome General Manager Andy Atwell. "To upgrade the model one mk II to the mk III involves a relatively simple and cost effective firmware and hardware upgrade that we perform at our workshops in Hungerford. It is much cheaper than having to buy a brand new projector, as is often the case with other brands if the user wants to enjoy the benefits of the latest advances in technology". Similar upgrades are available for the original Action model one and model zero five.

On show for the very first time at any UK based trade show will be the stunning Action! model three single chip dual lamp high performance projector. The unique combination of Texas Instruments HD2+ Mustang DMD' chip with projectiondesign's proprietary DuArch' illumination architecture - implementing two completely individual lamps, dual 7-segment colour wheels and dual light optimisation and recovery - results in unprecedented performance levels for a single chip system. Contrast levels up to 7500:1 and adjustable brightness levels from 800 to 2500 ANSI lumens ensure that the model three can cater for any screen size one could possibly want in any serious home cinema application.
