Screen Innovations is the leader in projection screen technology. Today, the company announced that their Black Diamond screen material is now able to provide amazing 3D viewing experiences. The major complaint with 3D content being shown through a projector is that it needs to be a dark room in order for the 3D affect to work properly. But Screen Innovations is claiming that is not true anymore with their Black Diamond screen. The screen material comes with a new reflective surface, which allows projectors to use the polarized 3D method. The material also enhances the natural contrast of the projector by 900%. The company claims that this screen is the only one of its kind. Retail prices and a release date have not been announced. [via Home Toys ]

Projectiondesign has a special treat for anyone coming to the IBC show on in September. They will be unveiling the Cineo35 2.5k projector, which is the world’s first compact projector that comes with a native 2.5k HD (2560 x 1600) resolution. This resolution is almost double 1080p HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, which makes the cineo35 ideal for large venues or home theaters. Unfortunately though there isn’t a lot of additional information available at this time. Anders Løkke, Marketing & Communications Manager, projectiondesign, says, “Up until now, operators of small to medium-sized edit suites and preview rooms had to use large, cumbersome, and noisy projectors if they wanted to display 2K resolution or higher. The cineo35 2.5k offers performance similar to, or better than, any digital cinema projector while weighing a fraction of the amount and measuring only half a metre across. Yet it can still throw an image up to 4m wide and, because it is based on Texas Instruments’ DLP® technology, what you see in preview is exactly what the movie-goer will see in a DLP Cinema® environment.” [via Projectiondesign ]

It’s that time of the year again when students head back to school. Every year the retailers stock their shelves with everything that a student will need from notebooks, to backpacks, and even portable fans and fridges for the college students. This year there is a new device being included into the college list, pico projectors. These devices are ideal for college kids to give quick and easy presentations as well as take with them to a friend’s room for big screen video games or movies. Last year, pico projectors created $117 million in revenue. That number is expected to increate to about $13.9 billion by 2018. “The introduction of video into almost every aspect of our learning and work tasks is profound and ‘disrupting,’” the educational futurist and researcher Elliott Masie wrote recently. “…Rising bandwidth, lowered equipment costs, ease of editing and growing expectations of learners will make video a profound component of our learning efforts going forward.” [via BusinessWire ]

Digital Projection has been instrumental in the development and application of Digital Light Processing technology by Texas Instruments for projection systems. Today, the company announced that two of their projectors were used in Opus AVC to complete a 2000 square foot home cinema. The projectors include the LIGHTNING Reference 1080p-30 and the dVision 30-1080p XB , both capable of displaying 1080p HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. The Lightning model can also display 10000 ANSI lumens and a 5000:1 contrast ratio, while the dVision model includes 5100 ANSI lumens and a 7500:1 contrast ratio. The owner chose the two projectors because, “Digital Projection’s LIGHTNING was specifically chosen because it was the only projector that met the spec regarding lens memory, brightness, resolution and vertical offset,” said David Barson, Opus AVC. The theater can seat up to 13 guests and displays the same high quality displays that you see in the movie theater. [via Digital Projection ]

Not all movies are created equally. Most movies are created in one of several different aspect ratios. The problem though is that this means that the movies are compressed or stretched by the time they get to the consumer market. The best way to fix this problem is to have your own home theater that can adjust to each aspect ratio. That is what this home owner did when they decided to turn their new addition into a dedicated home theater. The 12 foot wide curved screen is paired with a Digital Projection TITAN 1080p-250 projector. This model can display 2000 ANSI lumens, a 5000:1 contrast ratio, and full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. The owner’s library is controlled with a 200 disc Blu-ray changer and the projector and screen are programmed to adjust accordingly to each one. The screen comes with motorized masking capabilities, which moves the black bars so that they fit with the image. This helps make a nicer looking display. [via Electronic House ]
