Digital Projection International (DPI) has announced the addition of the iVision 20 series to their array of compact single-chip DLP projectors. As the smallest and lightest of DP's precision displays, the 6-lb. iVision 20 projectors feature the latest DC3 DMD technology from Texas Instruments. The units also include vertical lens shift capability, a feature previously available only in larger, more expensive models.

Similar to the original iVision series, the iVision 20 projectors are available with either HD2+ or SX+ DMDs, offering class-leading native resolution for DMD-based 4:3 and 16:9 formats. Among the new features of the iVision 20 series is an on-axis optical design, supported by a geometrically precise 1.85-2.4:1 zoom lens (1.7-2.2:1 on sx+). When combined with the vertical lens shift capability—more than a full frame of shift range--the system delivers maximum installation flexibility and optical control, according to DPI. Standard inputs include DVI, Component, RGB, Composite, and S-Video.

The iVision 20sx+ renders a powerful 2,500 ANSI lumens and 2500:1 contrast while the iVision 20HD delivers 1,200 ANSI lumens and rich 4000:1 contrast. Lamp output is adjustable, making it possible to extend lamp life up to 4,000 hours. Based on the user interface of the original iVision series, the iVision 20 is positioned to serve a diverse range of customers and applications including:

* Dramatic home entertainment
* Digital media and advertising
* Corporate boardrooms and teleconferencing suites
* Training and education
* Retail and entertainment
* Religious venues / houses of worship
* Casinos and hospitality
* Military simulation / command and control
* Process control
* Immersive visualization

Digital Projection will launch the new iVision 20 series at the CEDIA expo in Indianapolis, September 9-12. List pricing will be announced at the show. The first 20 series projectors will commence shipping in early 2006.
