Norwegian high-performance projector manufacturer, projectiondesign is
first to market with WUXGA resolution projectors
DALLAS, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- DLP(R) Products from Texas Instruments
(TI) (NYSE: TXN) introduced the world's first WUXGA DLP chip for the WUXGA
data projector that produces the highest resolution images at a native
resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio on the market
today. This projector runs on DLP's .95 chip, a resolution that has yet to
be offered by any of competitors of DLP(R) Products. This new level of
superior imaging has become the perfect fit to enable projector
manufacturers to reproduce widescreen computer resolutions.

"While 1080p has been widely regarded as the top shelf standard for
resolution quality and use for video-centric applications like HDTVs, we
recognized that select businesses could stand to benefit more with pixel
qualities that surpassed even that of 1080," said Anders Lokke,
International Marketing & Communications Manager at projectiondesign.
"WUXGA is incorporated inside our F10 WUXGA and F30 WUXGA projectors. This
was something that our high-end visualization and simulation customers were
asking for and we are proud to be the first to introduce and to deliver it
to the market."
WUXGA is a popular resolution for high-performance desktop monitors and
notebook computers, enabling users to match their projector resolution to
their monitor resolution. Some commentators believe that it may be the
resolution of choice in many industries that demand the highest
performance. With more color performance and wide-screen resolution
choices, there is a growing demand for higher quality images.
Jason Brameld, Senior Audio-Visual Design Consultant at Mark Johnson
Consultants Ltd in the United Kingdom has reviewed the F30 WUXGA projector
from projectiondesign which incorporates the new Texas Instruments' WUXGA
resolution. He says, "WUXGA resolution and the F30 WUXGA projector caught
our eye when it was first shown by projectiondesign at Integrated Systems
Europe in January 2008. It immediately struck us as being a very good
projector for high-resolution computer applications and it offers more of a
computer centric resolution rather than the more typically video centric
resolution of 1920 x 1080 offered by the other major manufacturers."
We'd definitely use the F30 WUXGA projector for computer based
applications and corporate use. It's ideal for software demonstrations as
well as visualization and any application involving display of fine detail
or analysis of large amounts of data. This we believe is more of a
specialized market and is ideal for corporate companies who can utilize the
more specialist graphics capabilities without the need for scaling to 1080
resolution."
The industry is continually migrating towards higher quality
resolution. Laptops are displaying wider screens as fields such as
scientific visualization, computer imaging and simulation markets are
benefiting from WUXGA technology as well.
"We listened to our customers and heard loud and clear the need for
greater resolution. We are the first company to market this technology and
we applaud projectiondesign for being the first to unveil their F10 and F30
WUXGA series projectors," said Lars Yoder, vice president and business
manager, TI's DLP Front Projection Business Unit.
More DLP manufacturers will offer WUXGA projectors in the future.
