Vivitek Launches 3D Conversion Technology with D5 Series
The D512-3D, D536-3D and D538-3D Feature Technology that Converts 2D Content into 3D Images Without an External Box
2011 International CES
South Hall/Booth #21253
LAS VEGAS–Vivitek Corporation, a leading manufacturer of innovative visual presentation products, introduces 2D to 3D conversion technology with three new digital projectors, the D512-3D, D536-3D and the D538-3D. The new projectors take existing 2D content and convert images into 3D pictures, without the use of an external conversion box.
The first projectors to utilize this built-in conversion technology, the newest of Vivitek’s D5 series can take standard DVD and BluRay player content (via HDMI) and switch it from 2D to 3D (via DLP® Link™ from Texas Instruments). The three projectors can also display 3D content from 720p/1080i at 50/60Hz and 1080p at 24Hz from 3D BluRay players or other 3D sources, such as cable or satellite boxes.
The D512-3D, D536-3D and D538-3D feature DLP and BrilliantColor™ technologies for bright, digital images. Add in high-efficiency lamps that last up to 4,000 hours (in economy mode), and the three projectors are an amazing lightweight, presentation solution.
“This latest technology represents a breakthrough for both the consumer and Vivitek,” said Christopher Yang, senior product manager at Vivitek. “We’ve packed a lot of features and technologies into the D512-3D, D536-3D and D538-3D projectors, all within a compact design. Now, with the 2D to 3D built-in conversion, consumers are able to enjoy 3D content without needing to purchase or set up an external box. These projectors offer great image quality, a variety of connections for multiple video sources, and they are 3D-ready to ensure next generation content can be enjoyed now.”
