"The 16,000-Lumen Titan Quad lineup from Digital Projection International (DPI) is a problem solver... DPI calls the line "incredibly compact and efficient for its lumen performance" and says it includes "a host of vital professional features to suit almost any commercial installation or staging application."

From CE Pro:

Digital Projection offers for tips installers can follow to once again wow clients with 3D video.

"Atlanta-based Digital Projection (DP) are helping professional installers make the most out of a less-than-ideal situation by providing guidelines to help them present 3D video.

DP says that if installers address these four critical points, they can improve the quality of 3D to make the technology perform to the expectations of consumers."

From Electronic House: 

"A 150- inch diagonal screen from Stewart Filmscreen and an M-Vision Cine-260 projector from Digital Projection International (DPI) combine to create stunning visuals."

This home theater, reviewed in Electronic House, includes "superwide CinemaScope images from Digital Projection's 3-chip Titan DLP projector."

From Electronic House:

"Digital Projection International's (DPI) custom-ordered Titan three-chip DLP projector produces superwide CinemaScope (2.35:1) images without the use of a separate anamorphic lens that moves in front of the projector, which is usually required for viewing Cinema- Scope images. The Titan's lens zooms and focuses to switch between formats."

From Electronic House:

"The owner wanted to be somewhat cost-conscious with the theater, without sacrificing too much in the area of performance, comfort and look," explains Lofgren. Digital Projection's mid-line M-Vision 260 singlechip DLP projector ($8,495) is housed in a cabinet in the back and paired with a Panamorph anamorphic lens ($1,295) for super-wide CinemaScope movie viewing..."

From Dealerscope:

LG Electronics, Manhattan Products, Stewart Filmscreen , Digital Projection, NYNE and Securifi are the latest to join the exhibitors and sponsors for the upcoming CEA Line Shows in New York, which are part of the annual CE Week.

LG has agreed to sponsor a panel as well as the lanyards for the event. In addition, Securifi has agreed to sponsor the press room at the event, while Stewart Filmscreen and Digital Projection have agreed to colocate in one of the audio/video demo rooms. NYNE and Manhattan Products will exhibit at the show.

From Live Design:

"For the video system, they wanted to have high-quality I-Mag for live events, so we installed left and right 13.41' diagonal Draper screens, with three Digital Projection Titan Quad 1080P 3D projectors hanging on the balcony rail," says Vigueira, indicating that he loves the support provided by Digital Projection. "We have used them in a lot of large theatre installations. They are small, quite bright projectors that run with four lamps instead of one, so you can lose one, and the show can still go on."

This system includes a Digital Projection E series 6000 lumen projector.

Digital Projection was proud to sponsor and display our precision displays at the inaugural "InfoComm Live" event this past month in Washington DC.

InfoComm Live was a gathering of thought leaders from the rental and staging industry. Those invited were brought together to discuss the current state of the rental/staging industry, as well as what is in store for the future. Thought-provoking presentations and round table discussions took place throughout the event, including stand-out presentations pertaining to the value proposition in the rental industry and identifying generational issues in the workplace. There were also plenty of opportunities to network, share stories and discuss best practices.

As a key sponsor and projector supplier of the event, DP displayed the tried-and-true TITAN 1080p-700 as well as our new 16,000 lumen TITAN Quad 1080p-3D. The event was a huge success and the 2013 edition is already in the planning stages.

On Thursday, March 22, 2012 Digital Projection hosted the Atlanta Southeast Regional InfoComm Roundtable in our newly updated and expanded 30,000 square foot US headquarters. Other participating manufacturers included Kramer Electronics, Biamp, and Williams Sound, who, along with DP, each offered 60 minute focused training sessions to attendees.

To kick off the afternoon, InfoComm brought in guest Speaker Peggy O'Keefe, professor from New York University, Baruch College. Peggy delivered a customer service focused presentation called "Herding Cats - Coping with out of Control Clients." Peggy's presentation focused on identifying a customer's personality type and working within that type to most effectively communicate. To round out the day Marc Bialek from InfoComm moderated the Roundtable discussion which offered attendees the opportunity to address current issues within the A/V industry. The conversations centered on themes that InfoComm could help bring to light for its industry members.

In typical InfoComm fashion, the Roundtable was a great networking event. Everyone at DP was grateful for the opportunity to reveal our new facility to InfoComm and the many attendees that joined us for training, networking and idea exchange. Thank you to InfoComm, participating partner manufacturers and everyone who attended.

A veritable who's-who of precision home entertainment manufacturers recently partnered in displaying a Hollywood-grade home cinema at the final EHX Expo in Orlando, Florida. Hundreds of residential integrators experienced dazzling video, audio and immersive seating in an incomparable cinema demonstration throughout the three-day event. Additionally, the "Ultimate Home Cinema" demonstration allowed manufacturers such as Digital Projection International (DPI) to unveil their newly available dVision Scope 1080p projector.

Nothing complements a captivating 120" image, courtesy of the native 2.35:1 dVision Scope 1080p projector and a Screen Innovations Black Diamond screen, better than rich, sensual audio. Leon Speakers supplied a full audio solution, working in conjunction with ADA's Cinema Reference Mach IV room optimization technology. Kaleidescape's renowned movie server organized and displayed the cinematic demo clips. Seating partners CinemaTech and D-Box supplied luxurious theater seating combined with the thrill of fully activated seating.

The premier native 2:35.1 projector solution for home cinemas, the Scope automatically shifts from 2:35 to 1.78 aspect ratios, depending on the content being shown. As this capability occurs within the projector, the Scope also introduces a 2:35.1 capable projection solution that does not necessitate an external anamorphic lens. This simplifies installation, as well as lowers overall system cost by avoiding the additional expensive of an anamorphic lens.

Building on the success of recent "Ultimate Home Cinema" demonstrations at the 2011 CEA Line Shows in New York City and 2012 CES Expo in Las Vegas, the demo members gladly acknowledge the value in such a partnership. George Walter, vp of home cinema for DPI, commented, "It's an honor to partner with such well-established, respected companies. We share a dedication to producing exceptional entertainment solutions, as well as a commitment to the custom philosophy. "

Home cinema enthusiasts can next experience the "Ultimate Home Cinema" demonstration at the 2012 CEA Line Shows event in New York City, held in June.

From Sound & Communications: 

...rear projection emanates from five Digital Projection Titans mounted in an alcove above the theater's dressing rooms and green room. Because the theater is also used for live performances, the rear projectors would have to be placed out of audience view.

From Residential Systems: 

The theater's hardware includes a DPI M-Vision projector, Arcam surround processor, Triad speakers, including three in-wall subs, a Stewart Micro-Perf 120-inch screen with no masking, and AMX for control.

From Commercial Integrator: 

Atlanta-based Digital Projection International (DPI) over a short amount of time has earned a reputation for designing and building some of the video projection category's most advanced products. The company's latest introduction builds upon its successful Titan Series by offering electronics professionals a high-brightness model that can be ordered in a choice of configurations. 

From Residential Systems: 

Rounding out the system is a Lumagen Radiance XE-3D video processor, Digital Projection International (DPI) Titan 3D 3-chip DLP projector and a Screen Research 180-inch X-Mask screen. Integrated AV control is provided by a Savant automation system. The room design, seating and acoustical treatment are by Acoustic Innovation.

From Commercial Integrator:

The newly announced TITAN 800-3D is available in a choice of the company's 1080p, UWXGA and SX+ packages, and DPI says the projector is capable of producing 12,000 Lumens of brightness. Internally, the TITAN 800-3D projectors incorporate three-chip Texas Instruments TI DLP chipsets, and electronics that allow installation professionals to adjust for geometrics, as well as pincushion, barrel, corner, vertical and horizontal keystone and image rotation. The line's 3D capabilities include 120Hz high-bandwidth inputs that eliminate the need for line doubling, and built-in Dual Flash Processing that supports the distribution of 60Hz 3D video through internal frame doubling.

From WorshipTechDecisions

Services are recorded using four Panasonic broadcast-level cameras and video decks to project the pastor life-size, via a $100,000 Digital Projection TITAN WUXGA Quad 1080p projector.

From CE Pro:

Using clips from the Kaleidescape server, the DPI dVision Scope front projector automatically switched from 16x9 format to 2.35:1 format within 5 seconds. The projector automatically senses the letterbox format and fills the screen. 

From Electronic House:

The custom electronics (CE) pros at Audio Advice in Raleigh, N.C., had the luxury of incorporating the equipment into a partially finished space in the basement of Williams' 11,000-square-foot Raleigh home. 

The DPI Titan was the ideal choice of projector for this 24-foot-long room, says Audio Advice's Randy Cribb, due to its ability to "throw" images long distances.

From Sound & Communications:

New projection technology, including 11 Digital Projection International (DPI) LIGHTNING 45-WUXGA, three-chip DLP projectors, each delivering 30,000 lumens, was used for front-of-house projection onto the theater's ceiling and proscenium arch.

Porsche fans are some of the most exuberant auto enthusiasts in the world. With this is mind, how do you launch a new Porsche model in a way that lives up to the expectations of the enthusiast community? An Atlanta-based Porsche dealership and Audio Automation & Theater, Inc. (AAT), an Atlanta-based luxury AV integrator, unveiled the solution. Using Digital Projection's incredibly powerful TITAN Quad projector, 16,000 lumens of Porsche as Art imagery transformed the dealership's front façade into a stunning visual display.

For over 11 years, AAT has specialized in state of the art home entertainment. However, through their multi-faceted team and fervent love of the Porsche brand, AAT has taken on the audio and video duties for numerous Porsche product launches over the years. Recently, the launch of the newest Porsche 911 (known within Porsche as the 991) allowed AAT the opportunity to project a 572" x 270" spectacle onto the front of dealership as a welcoming beacon to the launch attendees. The 633" diagonal image included custom content created by the Porsche creative team, including test track footage of the new 991 in action, stock imagery and more.

Serving as both the first and last impression made on the attendees, Kevin Collins, owner of AAT, knew that the imagery had to blow viewers away. This was a difficult proposition, however, as the projected image would have to contend with a large amount of direct and ambient exterior lighting. Furthermore, the projector would need to be rugged enough to withstand an outdoor installation with little protection from the elements. Collins had worked previously with the TITAN line, and settled deploying a single TITAN Quad for the event, due to its brightness, image quality and rugged design.

According the Collins, "The content looked amazing. Fall and Winter launches are our favorites, as it gets dark so much earlier. As the sun began to set, attendees became more and more engaged by the content. At sun down, the imagery became a beacon to passersby and attendees alike, serving as the perfect complement to the gorgeous new 911 on display."

Numerous inquiries from the Porsche corporate team in attendance hinted that there will be many similar events to come, which couldn't make Collins and his team any happier. "This sort of event is a perfect example as to why my firm only uses DP projectors," noted Collins. He continued, "They offer a diverse product line, and I know that regardless of the display that I choose, I will always get the best image quality possible."

Watch for news on upcoming Porsche product launch events in Atlanta throughout 2012. Many thanks to Kevin Collins and his team for preferring DP's precision displays!

As avid supporters, as well as sponsors, of InfoComm's many educational and outreach opportunities throughout the year, our team is always looking for more ways to contribute to this dynamic association. With this in mind, Chuck Collins, vp of sales for DP, has accepted a position on the Membership Committee board.

Chuck will contribute both time and strategic insight in order to help InfoComm create compelling solutions for the professional AV industry.

Chuck is excited about the prospect of helping serve the AV industry, commenting, "For 15 years, DP has enjoyed steady success and growth. InfoComm has been an integral part of our success, and we're proud to give back to such an important trade organization."

By now you've likely heard the impressive attendance and exhibitor numbers from the 2012 ISE expo in Amsterdam. Digital Projection Limited, headquartered in Manchester, UK, managed and designed a huge exhibit at this year's expo, displaying key projectors from both the Commercial AV and Home Cinema product lines.

DP's new TITAN Quad was featured in the booth, enlisting its advanced Warp & Blend technology while projecting on a blended, angled screen. Due to the remarkable controls within the TITAN's Warp & Blend technology, the corner image remained in perfect focus across all points of the image.

Also displaying remarkable Warp & Blend capabilities were DP's new HIGHlite Cine 660 projectors, shown below in conjunction with a convex screen.

DPL also displayed a new, open booth design that efficiently allowed for dedicated Commercial AV and Home Cinema demonstrations.

Congratulations to DPL for yet another successful ISE exhibit!

DSI Entertainment Systems, a custom audio video installation / systems integration firm and DP dealer, and Paradise Theaters, a private theater design firm, recently hosted interior design, architecture and construction industry members in DSI's Los Angeles showroom. Two seminars within the "Home Theater Design Essentials" theme introduced attending professionals to deep details behind the design and specification of luxury home theaters. The classes enlisted DP's powerful TITAN Reference projector for imagery throughout the events.

Download the white paper here: http://www.cepro.com/whitepapers/details/how_to_demo_high-performance_video_and_24_great_movie_clips_to_use/


CE Pro magazine and Digital Projection's George Walter recently teamed up to produce a white paper that specifically addresses how to demo high-performance projection for maximum effect. This concept emerged from numerous integrator discussions involving the pitfalls of suggesting flat panels over projector solutions to clients looking for the best in home entertainment.

The whitepaper begins with a defining question: Why sell flat panels that have no margin when you can sell projectors that offer strong markup and increase customer satisfaction? One hypothesis is that many integrators have abandoned trying to upsell in the video category because of the "flat panel effect."

As you can imagine, DP feels very strongly about the many compelling reasons to suggest projection over the constraints of flat panels. The key to selling the value and impact of projection to enthusiasts, however, lies in the demo.

This is a must-read for integrators and industry partners looking for ways to reinvigorate their high-margin projector sales, as well as those interested in learning best practices for demonstrating projection to clients.

"There wasn't anything I couldn't do with the stage lighting that compromised our imagery. The combination of the projected backgrounds and the actors in the foreground was striking."
-Barry Kemper, Lighting Designer, Alice in Wonderland

ESCAPE Youth Theater, in Santa Clarita California, the land of CalArts, Magic Mountain and College of the Canyons, is celebrating its 10th season and 4th year producing major musicals at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center. This winter an original production of Alice in Wonderland was staged for a combined audience of over 4,500 in the theater's available 725 seats. Available because the theater actually has just over 800 seats but ESCAPE's large ensemble and the crew onstage limits the audience capacity.

Past productions of Peter Pan, Sound of Music and others have been designed using traditional painted drops and scenic wagons. For this production of Alice, however, the production's Director, Kyle Burson, wanted to create a wide range of playful, fantastic imagery and project it directly on the upstage cyc.

ESCAPE and its 200+ families, whose children participated in the production, are truly a wealth of resources. Among that group are artists and craftsmen who frequently contribute to the productions at the highest level. Storyboards were created and with the requirements of the projection determined, Digital Projection was contacted to help the theater realize their vision.

With the stage alternately filled to the brim with an ensemble of 160 dancing and singing performers decked out in fantastically colorful costumes, or simply Alice captivatingly alone, the imagery projected by two TITAN 1080p-700 projectors perfectly set the mood for each scene. Production Director Kyle Burson remarked, "I feel like the projection was limited only by my imagination. It did whatever I asked it to do. The images were so crisp I felt I could climb into the picture and be lost in Wonderland." Some two dozen stills were created, manipulated and in some cases animated, to provide a much richer sweep to the production than a traditional approach to design would have permitted.

The available brightness and contrast afforded by the TITAN projectors enabled, even enhanced, the theatrical design created for the production. The lower portion of the projected image - falling across the stage floor - was planned as a sort of break-up projected pattern for each scene. All of the scenes were outdoors and this textured dual use for each image added a beautiful layer to each setting.

Barry Kemper, Lighting Designer for the production, commented "ESCAPE was fortunate to have both the outstanding artistry and technical superiority of DP's TITANs to create a truly beautiful theatrical experience to begin our 10th year!"

From Commercial Integrator:

"When Francesco Aquilini bought the Vancouver Canucks in 2004, he knew he wanted to give Rogers Arena fans an experience they'd never had before at an NHL game.

This year's Rogers Arena experience might have achieved just that, thanks to a pre-game and intermission light show anchored by a Digital Projection International (DPI) high-brightness system."

From Systems Contractor News:

Ice hockey's Vancouver Canucks installed a new Digital Projection International (DPI) high-brightness system at the team's Rogers Arena in time for the start of the new season. Designed to reinforce the team's brand identity, intensify fan loyalty, and, just as importantly, encourage early attendance and help increase revenues, the DPI system is integral to a pre-, post-, and in-game entertainment package that resets the bar at a new high for creativity in the NHL.

From Electronic House: 

Backyard theaters aren't difficult to pull off. Portable projectors and wireless speakers are affordable and can be easily positioned on patios and decks. And while these products have introduced many to the splendor of outdoor movie viewing, their piecemeal nature can't come close to creating the crisp, vivid experience of an indoor theater.

From Systems Contractor News: 

Digital Projection presented the global launch of the E-Vision 8000 top-of-the-range single-chip projector. It also brought the new HIGHLITE 660 WUXGA to demonstrate its aim to create a range of products based on a single chassis that you can "mix and match for any application," commented Nick Cottis, DPI's international sales and marketing director.
