Texas Instruments has today announced the availability of its DLP .7 XGA 3 chip, a platform designed for front projection products within the 5,000-7,500 lumens range.
The .7 XGA 3 chip product, named for its diagonal size, resolution and architecture, will serve the increasing number of large venues that need powerful professional projection.
A 3 chip DLP system is the only technology that can deliver the colour, brightness and reliability with the ease of ownership that the ProAV market demands," said Nancy Fares, business manager for DLP 3Chip products.
The adoption of the .7 platform allows for a smaller light source, prism and DLP chip and will initially launch in one or two lamp configurations. The OEM’s new products will come complete with a versatile full set of lenses, shifts of +100/-50% vertical and +/- 20% horizontal and more light for fully saturated colours. Resolutions will be XGA, WXGA and 720p with more resolution options to come in the future. DLP's 3 chip architecture is the only system where colour and brightness are on the same mode, competing LCD products have separate settings that can compromise lumens to operate for colour.
Sharp is the first manufacturer to utilise the new technology, in its professional XG-P610X due out in quarter 1 of 2008.
