On Saturday, February 20, the Academy Board
of Governors bestowed the 2009 Scientific and Engineering
Award (Academy Plaque) to four individuals responsible for
the color accuracy of Texas Instruments DLP Cinema projectors.
Acknowledged during a private award ceremony, D. Scott Dewald,
Greg Pettitt, Brad Walker and Bill Werner were recognized
for their contributions furthering the design and refinement
of the Texas Instruments, DLP Cinema projector, achieving
a level of performance which enables color-accurate, digital
intermediate previews of motion pictures.
“As the technology leader in producing precise DCI compliant
colors, superior contrast ratios and the light output necessary
to illuminate the largest auditoriums, the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences is proud to recognize DLP Cinema
for this achievement,” said Richard Edlund, Academy Governor
and chair of the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee.
“Texas Instruments DLP Cinema has redefined the movie
going experience with an incredible picture.”
“For the first time in the over 100 year-old cinema history,
filmmakers and audiences around the world are ensured they
will see colors the way the moviemaker intended every showing
when enjoying a movie or content projected with DLP Cinema
technology,” said Nancy Fares, business manager for Texas
Instruments DLP Cinema Products.
The technology awarded the 2009 Academy Scientific and Engineering
Award for achievement in Color Accuracy is exclusive to DLP
Cinema products; however, Texas Instruments works with the
world’s leading manufacturers to deliver top-quality
and related technology to a variety of front projectors, pico
projectors, HDTV models and more. The highly reliable and
full-color imagery in all DLP products is achieved by the
fast switching speed of the mirrors on the DLP Chip.
“Leveraging the Cinema technology offers our customers
the ability to manufacturer world class projectors for home,
business and classroom use with high reliability and superb
color accuracy,” said Roger Carver, business manager
for Texas Instruments DLP Products.
