Digital Projection Introduces New Video Image Processor Featuring Silicon Optix's HQV Powered by Teranex Technology.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Digital Projection International has partnered with Silicon Optix to release an external video switcher/image processor for use with all of Digital Projection's current and previously released precision displays. Digital Projection's VIP 1000 features the Silicon Optix Realta HQV(TM) trillion-operations-per-second image processor allowing user-selectable adjustments to improve the quality of any video source.

"The VIP 1000 uses absolute state-of-the-art Realta HQV image processing to produce the finest images ever seen on a DLP projector. The HD de-interlacing is spectacular," said George Walter, Home Cinema Market Manager at Digital Projection.

Realta HQV processing originates from Teranex's $60k broadcast and postproduction platforms. Teranex's software algorithms run on Realta's trillion-operations-per-second video engine to deliver a new standard for video quality called Hollywood Quality Video, or HQV.

The Digital Projection VIP 1000 has a suggested retail price of $5,995 and will be available Q4 2005.
