CEDIA US looks to be the hot spot. DPI will present its latest 3-chip DLP™ projector with 2K digital cinema 2048 × 1080 native resolution, the HIGHlite Reference 1080p, which will ship in October for just a little over $100,000 !
And for the true cinematic 2.35:1 experience, you can add their recently introduced TheaterScope Premier anamorphic lens system.
For the “medium-to-very-large” home cinema installatons
Take a look at some of the projector specs :
The HIGHlite Reference 1080p is built on the world’s lightest and smallest 2K x 1K, 3-chip DLP™ platform, and strikes an impressive balance of custom lumen output – from 5,000 up to 14,000 ANSI lumens – and incredibly rich contrast greater than 2000:1. By using 3 × 1.26″ DMD’s, the projector is capable of displaying video at a resolution of 1920 × 1080, or the even higher 2K digital cinema standard of 2048 × 1080. Equipped with liquid cooling – for the quietest operation in its class – the HIGHlite Reference 1080p can be installed in medium-to-very large home cinema or media environment, for the precisely calibrated display of any video, HD or computer source.
DPI offers a wide selection of optics for all their models. The “must” addition is their TheaterScope Premier system, offering a high quality 1.33 anamorphic lens and a precision engineered motorized lens sled.
This lens will display 1.77:1, 1.85:1 and cinematic 2.35:1 content at a constant screen height, maximizing on-screen resolution and brightness, and eliminating the horizontal black bars normally associated with “letterbox” DVD and HD formats. The optional TheaterScope Premier system will soon be available for the HIGHlite Reference 1080p, and is currently available for their 1080p models including the dVision 1080p, the TITAN 1080p-250 as well as the recent addition, the TITAN 1080p-500.
