ATLANTA, GA – September 16, 2009 - Digital Projection International, an Emmy® Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced the brand-new M-Vision Cine LED at CEDIA ‘09 in Atlanta, Georgia. The new Cine LED delivers 3-chip color saturation with the imaging fidelity of Texas Instruments' DLP® technology. The single-chip M-Vision Cine LED adds the first Lifetime Illuminationâ„¢ display to DPI's already extensive single-chip product line.


The M-Vision Cine LED produces up to 600 lumens and 10,000:1 contrast. A quiet, compact chassis, the M-Vision Cine LED presents a powerful large-screen imaging solution in an affordable but precise chassis. Ideal M-Vision LED venues include theatrical viewing spaces with controlled ambient light with screens up to 8' wide. When installed in such venues, the M-Vision Cine LED produces the dynamic range, rich color saturation and vivid contrast of a 3-chip DPL display, but from a smaller and more cost effective chassis. As the Cine LED does not incorporate a traditional lamp, media environments utilizing the new display will benefit from their Lifetime Illuminationâ„¢ 60,000+ hour lifespan. Additionally, the single-chip M-Vision Cine LED does not rely on a color wheel, which renders the projector completely free of the color wheel artifacts that some home theater enthusiasts find distracting.


Showcasing a new elegant body design, the Cine LED addresses a common request among home integrators for DPI's industry-leading precision imagery in a small, sleek cabinet. The new Cine series design is also incorporated in DP's new M-Vision Cine 260, the new 3-chip HIGHlite Cine display and all TITAN models equipped with the company's new CINEskin enclosure. When considered in total, DPI's Cine series evolution has added a new, streamlined presence to a majority of the company's Home Cinema products - products that are already widely recognized for excellence in imaging capability.


Installation is incredibly flexible due to the M-Vision Cine LED's compact and lightweight chassis design, and extraordinary lens shift range of 30% horizontal and 120% vertical. Multiple lens options provide further flexibility, with a throw ratio ranging from 1.25 to 3.0:1. There is also a fixed lens which offers a .73:1 throw ratio. Connectivity includes two HDMI inputs, as well as RGB via D-15, component, composite and S-Video inputs.


George Walter, Digital Projection's Vice President of Home Cinema, commented, "The new Cine LED projector provides exceptional contrast and color dynamics at an incredibly affordable price point for dedicated theaters.”


Digital Projection International offers an extraordinary array of over 40 single-chip projectors, as well as over 30 powerful 3-chip DLP® displays.
