Epson Announces First HDMI 1.3 Projector



Priced at $4,999, the Epson Powerline Pro Cinema 1080 uses three C2 Fine 3LCD chips, as well as the VastLane SiI9133 HDMI receiver chip from Silicon Image, the first HDMI 1.3 chip to be included in a publicly announced projector. HDMI 1.3 introduces "Deep Color," which supports color depths beyond the human eye's ability to perceive them.

The new projector, unsurprisingly, supports 1080p resolution, as well as 1,200 ANSI lumens, and a 12,000-1 contrast ratio. It weighs 12.3 pounds. Connectors include one HDMI connector, a 15-pin mini D-sub, a composite RCA jack, a component RCA jack, and an S-Video connector.
