New Products Featuring 3-Chip HD2 DLP(TM) Technology to Launch

Posted on: Friday, 5 September 2003, 06:00 CDT

DALLAS, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) today said that its customers would announce new products featuring a 3-chip HD2 DLP(TM) subsystem. Designed specifically to satisfy the needs of the most demanding videophiles, these new products from BARCO, Digital Projection International, InFocus, Marantz, RUNCO, and SIM2 Multimedia are expected to ship before the end of the year or soon thereafter.

"These new projectors from our customers represent, we believe, the ultimate in home entertainment projection technology," said Wayne Reynolds, Business Development Manager, Commercial Entertainment Products at TI's DLP(TM) Products division. "The 3-chip DLP architecture has long set the standard in high brightness image quality, while HD2 DLP technology has become the technology of choice in home theater and home cinema projectors. These new products combine the best features of the two to deliver a home entertainment experience that is unrivalled."

Projectors featuring 3-chip DLP(TM) technology have long been favored for applications that demand outstanding picture quality, high brightness and robust reliability, and have regularly featured in high profile events such as the Oscars(R) ceremony. Single chip HD2 DLP(TM) technology has brought a new level of price/performance to home cinema and home theater, with projectors that feature it regularly receiving outstanding reviews for their unparalleled image quality. These new products marry the high brightness and extraordinary image quality of projectors featuring 3-chip DLP(TM) technology with the native 16:9 aspect ratio 1,280 x 720 capabilities of HD2 DLP(TM) technology to enable the development of projectors that will satisfy the most demanding consumers.

"The new TI 3-chip DLP subsystems, designed specifically for 16:9 format and utilizing HD2 technology, allow manufacturers the capability of creating a whole new family of projectors with performance and price-points that were previously unattainable," said Sam Runco, CEO of RUNCO International.

TI's DLP(TM) Products division supplies subsystems to virtually all the world's top projection and display manufacturers, who then design, manufacture and market products based on DLP(TM) technology. Since early 1996, over 2,000,000 DLP(TM) subsystems have been shipped. DLP(TM) technology delivers clear, bright, and sharp pictures in a broad range of projection applications including business data projectors, home theater projectors, large screen tabletop TVs, commercial rental and staging systems and digital cinema.
