Pompano Beach, FL (June 7, 2006) - Vutec Corporation will demonstrate the newest addition to its Vision X line—Vision XFT—and other Vutec projection screens at InfoComm 2006 using Digital Projection International’s Mercury 5000 HD 3-chip DLP™ projector.

The Mercury 5000 HD has a 1280 x 720 native resolution, with 4,500 ANSI lumens and a contrast ratio of >1200:1. Vision XFT is a native 2.35:1, flat fixed, vertical masking system for anamorphic lens projectors that maintains constant vertical height for all three standard aspect ratios—2.35:1 CinemaScope, 16:9 HDTV, and 4:3 NTSC TV—in a single projection screen.

Vutec also plans to use DPI projectors at upcoming trade shows to showcase the superior quality of its Vutec and Vision X lines of video projection screens.

“There is no factor more important in achieving the ultimate video experience than picture quality,” said Kevin R. Baisley, vice president of marketing and sales for Vutec Corporation. “That calls for the right video projection screen along with the proper projector, and DPI's Mercury HD has demonstrated its ability to support the highest quality home and commercial applications.”

“For these reasons,” added Baisley, “we’re proud to showcase Vutec’s lines of video projection screens using DPI’s high-performance projectors at InfoComm 2006, at CEDIA in September and during the CES show next January, as the company continues to expand its portfolio.”

“We are excited to partner with Vutec for InfoComm and CEDIA 2006,” commented Chuck Collins, DPI’s senior market development manager. “Vutec’s innovative Vision XFT screen system is a highly sophisticated masking device that will perfectly complement our Mercury and dVision series projectors equipped with the exclusive DP “TheatreScope” package,” Collins added.

Vutec will be demonstrating its Vision XFT, SilverStar™, ArtScreen, PrismaTec and Retracta-Vu™ screens at Booth #1347 during InfoComm 2006.
