Japan - Digital Projection International and its joint venture partner NEC Viewtechnology, have announced they have carried out the first commercial demonstration of the cS25 projection system in Tokyo, Japan. The cS25 is the first commercial projector utilizing the new higher resolution Texas Instruments DC2K DMD, offering over two million pixels.

It demonstrates that Digital Projection is committed to innovation and is 100% behind the development of this significant market place, worldwide," said Brian Critchley, CEO, Digital Projection International.
