DLP Products from Texas Instruments introduced the world's first WUXGA DLP chip for the WUXGA data projector that produces the highest resolution images at a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio on the market today. WUXGA is a popular resolution for high-performance desktop monitors and notebook computers, enabling users to match their projector resolution to their monitor resolution.

    This projector runs on DLP's .95 chip, a resolution that has yet to be offered by any of competitors of DLP Products. This new level of superior imaging has become the perfect fit to enable projector manufacturers to reproduce widescreen computer resolutions. Jason Brameld, Senior Audio-Visual Design Consultant at Mark Johnson Consultants Ltd in the United Kingdom has reviewed the F30 WUXGA projector from projectiondesign which incorporates the new Texas Instruments' WUXGA resolution.

    He says, "WUXGA resolution and the F30 WUXGA projector caught our eye when it was first shown by projectiondesign at Integrated Systems Europe in January 2008. It immediately struck us as being a very good projector for high-resolution computer applications and it offers more of a computer centric resolution rather than the more typically video centric resolution of 1920 x 1080 offered by the other major manufacturers."

    Some commentators believe that it may be the resolution of choice in many industries that demand the highest performance. With more color performance and wide-screen resolution choices, there is a growing demand for higher quality images. The industry is continually migrating towards higher quality resolution. Laptops are displaying wider screens as fields such as scientific visualization, computer imaging and simulation markets are benefiting from WUXGA technology as well.

    "While 1080p has been widely regarded as the top shelf standard for resolution quality and use for video-centric applications like HDTVs, we recognized that select businesses could stand to benefit more with pixel qualities that surpassed even that of 1080," said Anders Lokke, International Marketing & Communications Manager at projectiondesign. "WUXGA is incorporated inside our F10 WUXGA and F30 WUXGA projectors. This was something that our high-end visualization and simulation customers were asking for and we are proud to be the first to introduce and to deliver it to the market."

    "We listened to our customers and heard loud and clear the need for greater resolution. We are the first company to market this technology and we applaud projectiondesign for being the first to unveil their F10 and F30 WUXGA series projectors," stated Lars Yoder, vice president and business manager, TI's DLP Front Projection Business Unit.

    The projectiondesign F10 has been designed to perform in a variety of environments and applications. Projectiondesign has long and extensive experience in designing projectors for special requirements, and our products are used in applications as diverse as ship and car simulators, 2D and 3D visualisation and entertainment centres, as well as installations for medical imaging, post production and broadcast monitoring, and control rooms and public dynamic signage. Common to all is that requirements are stringent, and image quality demands are high.
