DPI announces iVision 30-1080p - the smallest, single-chip 1080p projector with ColorMax technology (31/8/2007)

Booth 240, CEDIA US Expo 2007

Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy(r) Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced the availability of the company's smallest 1080p display, the iVision 30-1080p. Weighing only 6.5lbs and incorporating broadly capable electronics, the iVision 30-1080p is engineered for simple integration and provides a powerful but affordable solution for elite home cinemas.

At only 3.5" tall and 11" wide, the iVision 30-1080p delivers up to 2,700 ANSI lumens through the use of a high-performance 300-watt UHP lamp. The projector is encased within a magnesium cabinet to optimize thermal efficiency, thus allowing for much higher lumen output than other projectors of similar size. Enabled with Brilliant ColorTM, the iVision 30-1080p can be ordered with any of three specialized color wheels - enhancing brightness, color or contrast. Depending on the color wheel selected, the iVision 30-1080p can produce contrast ratios up to 5000:1. Inputs include HDMI (1.3), DVI, component, composite, s-video and analog RGB.

In addition to the core technology of Brilliant ColorTM, the new iVision 30-1080p includes DP's exclusive ColorMaxTM calibration technology. Via a radically improved setup procedure, the installer can simply measure and record the red, green and blue x and y color points and luminance values with a light meter and enter the values into a computer connected to the projector. ColorMaxTM then analyzes the user input and a software algorithm automatically calibrates all of the color settings, per input, to return a perfectly balanced d6500 color temperature output. The end result is an astounding color-accurate representation of the source content.

George Walter, DP's home cinema market manager commented, "The new iVision 30-1080p provides an incredible new opportunity for custom integrators and installers. The projector's small footprint assures easy integration and the powerful lamp produces dynamic images - even in rooms with a small amount of ambient light. Furthermore, the incredible 1080p resolution and integrated electronics make the iVision 30 a viable solution for installations where simplicity and imaging quality are paramount."

Digital Projection will launch its new iVision 30-1080p at CEDIA 2007 in Denver (Booth #240). List pricing will be announced at the show and units will begin shipping in September.
