Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation
(E&S) announced today its Advanced Display group will
debut its revolutionary new laser projection system at the
InfoComm08 tradeshow June 18-20 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
E&S Laser Projector (ESLP™), featuring NanoPixel™
technology is the world's highest resolution laser projector,
and will offer digital cinemas, planetariums, control rooms
and indoor venues worldwide an incomparable view of the universe,
whether watching a documentary on the secrets of the sun or
viewing strategic plans on a map.
Evans & Sutherland, a company that has been setting the
standard in advanced computer graphics for the past four decades,
is poised to continue the trend at this year's InfoComm08.
The E&S Advanced Displays exhibit will be located at booth
number N5023 on the main show floor, and will showcase the
ESLP with NanoPixel technology. The laser projector will be
featured at the booth inside a portable projection dome where
InfoComm attendees will be able to see the technology first-hand.
"Years of research and unwavering dedication to creating
the best projector possible have led to this moment –
the unveiling of the ESLP projection system," said David
Bateman, CEO and President of Evans & Sutherland. "We
believe this new technology will transform the audio/visual
industry and bring a new definition of quality to digital
projection systems."
The NanoPixel technology laser projector system is an ultra-high
resolution projector and displays content the equivalent to
sixteen times HD 1080p resolution, or the difference between
2 million pixels and 32 million. It is powered by a set of
revolutionary laser light sources which offer multiple benefits.
There are no expensive bulbs requiring frequent replacement
in this system, and the brightness and hue of the lasers do
not degrade or shift over time. Furthermore, the lasers yield
a much wider useable color spectrum (200% of NTSC/HDTV) than
is available in conventional LCoS, DLP, LCD, or other lamp-illuminated
projectors.
Bateman puts the projector's advanced resolution level into
an everyday perspective.
"To understand just how advanced the quality is on the
NanoPixel projector, you can draw a comparison to the world
of photography," Bateman said. "The difference between
our high resolution projector and other models would be similar
to comparing the superior quality of an advanced digital camera
photo with a Polaroid picture. And just like photography,
once you've tried the advanced technology, there is no going
back."
Laser projectors with NanoPixel technology are already in
use in a number of planetarium theaters around the world,
as part of the successful E&S Digistar 3 Laser fulldome
planetarium system. With the ESLP, E&S is now introducing
this technology to the general projection marketplace. It
is a standalone projector version of this same technology,
and will be readily available and shipping in mid 2009. In
addition to planetariums, the projector will now be targeted
for commercial use in control rooms, visualization centers,
simulation, and digital cinemas all over the world.
The Samuel Oschin Planetarium at Griffith Observatory in Los
Angeles has been giving daily shows with an E&S Laser
Projector system for over a year. Camille Lombardo, Executive
Director of Friends Of The Observatory, said, "As one
of the world's most well-known planetariums, it was important
for us to be able to offer the world's finest digital projection
technology. After an extensive worldwide search, and terrific
audience reviews, we remain convinced that the ESLP is the
best solution for our star theater."
