DWIN Introduces Three New PlasmaImage Systems.


BURBANK, Calif. -- 42-Inch, 50-Inch and 61-Inch Displays Offer Exceptional Picture Quality, Simplified Control and 10 Inputs for "Future-Proof" Digital Home Theater An audio/video entertainment center that has a large-screen TV and hi-fi system with three speakers in the front (left, right and center) and left and right speakers in the rear. Starting in the early 1990s, video inputs were added to stereo receivers and preamplifiers.  

DWIN DWIN Doctor Who Information Network (Canada)  Electronics today introduced three new plasma display Also called "gas discharge display," a flat-screen technology that uses tiny cells lined with phosphor that are full of inert ionized gas (typically a mix of xenon and neon). Three cells make up one pixel (one cell has red phosphor, one green, one blue).  systems offering exceptional color reproduction, lifelike motion-picture performance and a unique, two-component design that seamlessly integrates all video sources for sensible control of digital home theater.

DWIN will offer two plasmas with a native resolution of 1365 x 768 pixels (HD-150, 50-inch diagonal screen size and HD-161, 61-inch diagonal screen size), and a smaller display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (HD-142, 42-inch diagonal screen size). All PlasmaImage systems come with DWIN's acclaimed TranScanner(TM) processor/scaler, a $3,500 retail value.

PlasmaImage(TM) HD-series plasma systems deliver true high definition video with stunning, film-like picture quality. For improved color fidelity, contrast and brightness, each of the three color cells (RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). ) that comprise a plasma pixel have individual color filters encapsulated within the glass substrate. Black stripes are also embedded between each cell to absorb ambient light and enhance black levels.

DWIN displays are engineered to provide the most natural reproduction of colors and moving images possible in a plasma display. DWIN plasmas feature Dynamic Luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance.  Control(TM) which dynamically optimizes luminance and contrast. Sudden changes in image brightness appear subtle and smooth compared to conventional plasmas. All DWIN plasmas also feature 10-bit color processing, enabling rendering of more than one billion different color shades.

More detailed technical specifications appear on the DWIN web site, www.dwin.com.

Like all DWIN systems, PlasmaImage(TM) HD-series plasma systems incorporate two complementary components: a native resolution high-definition display and a TranScanner outboard processor/controller. The processor is virtually future-proof, accepting 10 digital or analog video The original video recording method that stores continuous waves of red, green and blue intensities. In analog video, the number of rows is fixed. There are no real columns, and the maximum detail is determined by the frequency response of the analog system.  inputs including six HD sources: two DVI/HDCP, two RGB, two S-video, two component and two composite.

 are reduced with Adaptive Film Mode processing and picture depth is increased with Signal Dynamic Range Expansion.

Bypassing the display's original scaler, the DWIN processor delivers native resolution digital video signals via a single high bandwidth DVI-HDCP cable. This unique two-component design provides easy installation and hassle-free connectivity while reducing cabling costs.

To help prevent phosphor burn See screen burn.  from static images, DWIN's exclusive MotionAdaptive(TM) Screen Saver A utility that was originally created to prevent a CRT from being etched by an unchanging image. After a specified duration of time without keyboard or mouse input, it blanks the screen or displays moving objects. Pressing a key or moving the mouse restores the screen.  circuit automatically engages after sensing a non-moving picture for two minutes. The system automatically powers off if the image remains static longer than five minutes.

For high altitude environments, DWIN plasmas are certified for up to 9200 feet.

Manufacturer's suggested retail price is $8,995 for the HD-142 system, $10,995 for the HD-150 system and $19,995 for the HD-161 system.
