Marantz
America, a renowned manufacturer of advanced home entertainment
solutions introduced an upgraded version of its groundbreaking VP-11S1
High-Definition DLP front projector that features HDMI 1.3 inputs with
Deep Color capability. With its HDMI 1.3 Deep Color capability and
12-bit color depth, the upgraded VP-11S1 is capable of displaying an
astonishing 68 Billion colors! All VP-11S1 units now shipping to
retailers will incorporate the upgrade, with no increase in the
suggested retail price of $19,999. In addition, Marantz will be
offering a service solution for units currently in the field, which
will allow all existing VP-11S1 owners to have their projectors
upgraded to HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color (Pricing for the upgrade will be
announced shortly.).
Noted Kevin Zarow, Vice President, Marketing and Product Development, Marantz America, Inc: "Marantz is proud to be the first company to offer a single chip DLP Projector featuring HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color and at the same time to provide a way for current owners to upgrade their units with this exciting new capability. Our goal has always been to provide our customers with solutions for enjoying the ultimate in home entertainment features and performance. Our upgraded VP-11S1 is a reflection of our commitment to remaining at the leading-edge of all the latest technological developments." VP-11S1: For True Home Theater Aficionados The VP-11S1, a single-chip DLP Projector featuring full upconversion capability for all video sources to 1080p HD resolution, delivers image quality previously unavailable in anything but the highest-priced professional projectors, including full uncompressed HDTV 1920x1080 pixel resolution for incredibly realistic, detailed and lifelike images – virtually indistinguishable from film quality. For true home theater aficionados, the VP-11S1 includes a Vertical Stretch mode that eliminates the black borders on widescreen movies when viewed on a 2.35:1 screen. Key to the VP-11S1's unprecedented image reproduction capabilities is the inclusion of Texas Instruments' first true 1080p HD chip, which dramatically increases the pixel count of previous 720p chips to over 2 million pixels.
