LIGHTSPEED DESIGN, INC. / DEPTHQ® ANNOUNCES 3D PROJECTOR / POLARIZATION MODULATOR BUNDLE

Offer Includes the DepthQ® HDs3D-1 Projector, DepthQ® Polarization Modulator and 5 pair of DepthQ® 3D circular polarized passive glasses.



BELLEVUE, WA – January 26, 2011: Lightspeed Design, Inc./DepthQ® is pleased to announce the limited release of the NEW DepthQ® 3D Projector/Polarization Modulator Bundle.

This limited time offer consists of a DepthQ® HDs3D-1 Projector, a DepthQ® Polarization Modulator (Small Aperture: 2.75x2.51”) and 5 pair of DepthQ® 3D circular polarized passive glasses for a total price of $6500. This is a $2500 discount from the regular price of $9000.

Art Feierman, in his 1/20/11 review for ProjectorReviews.com, said “The overall image performance of the Modulator resulted in a cleaner 3D picture than the other 3D systems we looked at at the same time.” Read Art’s entire review titled “Lightspeed’s 3D DepthQ Polarization Modulator and Their 3D Projector System” at:

The DepthQ® HDs3D-1 high-definition 3D projector is the 3rd generation of Lightspeed Design's patent-pending portable stereoscopic projectors, offering superior contrast and synchronization for 3D professionals. These projectors leverage nearly two decades of professional 3D knowledge and expertise to deliver the highest-quality, most satisfying and hassle-free 3D experience possible.

New to the HDs3D-1 is higher brightness (2700 lumens in 3D mode), an all-digital HDMI input path for unsurpassed clarity and a specialized 3D image sequence optimized for brighter polarized projection. Additionally, these professional-level 3D projectors can easily display 10 ft (3 m) wide high-definition images using the latest Texas Instruments DLP® and BrilliantColorTM technologies - for wall-filling imagery with stunning colors and a 2100:1 contrast ratio, at a truly unprecedented level of price-performance.

The DepthQ® Polarization Modulator electronically switches the polarization orientation of light passing through it. In combination with a polarization-preserving screen and the DepthQ® HDs3D-1 projector, the modulator enables high-brightness, low-ghost viewing using lightweight & comfortable passive 3D eyewear.

The modulator utilizes a unique combination of separate liquid crystal elements bonded together, enabling both high polarization efficiency over visible wavelengths from 400 to 750 nm (predominantly achromatic spectral response) as well as fast transition switching speeds (0.6ms at room temperature) between polarization states at a frequency of 120Hz. Efficient, high-speed switching between the eyes ensures bright, low-crosstalk, flicker-free operation.

To order now and take advantage of this special bundle pricing, contact Lightspeed at http://www.depthq.com/contact.html, sales@lightspeeddesign.com or call our sales department at +1-206-784-1385. Linear polarization available upon request.

The DepthQ® Polarization Modulator is also available in a large size for projectors with apertures up to 7.12 inches (180.85mm) and lamp outputs up to 35,000 lumens for use in large venues including Digital Cinema. If you are interested in larger venue or Digital Cinema applications, please contact Lightspeed at sales@lightspeeddesign.com or call our sales department at +1-206-784-1385.
