Orlando, Fla. — Texas Instruments’ (TI) DLP Cinema unit, which builds projectors for large-venue applications, said at InfoComm Wednesday that it plans to incorporate enhanced 4K technology as an extension of the next-generation electronics platform for DLP Cinema projectors.The 4K technology, which is also referred to as Ultra High Definition, features 4,520 lines of horizontal resolution, known as “4k” technology because the scan lines exceed 4,000.
奥兰多，佛罗里达州：德州仪器DLP影院部门于本周三向《INFOCOMM》透露称：计划为DLP平台的投影推出下一代增强型4K技术。4K也称作极致高清技术，可展现水平4520线。
Texas Instruments, which said it will still continue to develop and further its DLP Cinema 2K chips, which number 11,000 installations worldwide, plans to deliver the enhanced DLP Cinema 4K chip to its licensees Barco, Christie Digital and NEC, which will extend the number of high-resolution displays to more than 12 projector models, TI said.
All projectors with the next-generation DLP Cinema electronics platform will include DCI compliant colors, high contrast ratios and light output sufficient for large auditoriums.
德州仪器仍将继续发展其2K芯片（在全球已经安装了11000处），并计划向巴可、科视和NEC授权发布其增强型DLP影院4K芯片。这三家的高清产品线将增至超过12种型号。德州仪器称所有装备下一代4K芯片的DLP投影将满足DCI要求的色彩还原、高对比度以及大型影厅所要求的亮度输出。可满足宽达100英尺银幕尺寸的投影要求，3D可投至75英尺。
The projectors will fill theater screens as large as 100 feet and 3-D screens as large as 75 feet, which TI said “has been a challenge for competing technologies.”
The next-generation DLP Cinema electronics platform combines the three boards needed to produce images into a single board enabling lower adoption cost. The next-generation platform will work seamlessly with more than eight server solutions and multiple 3-D platforms, TI said.
下一代DLP技术还将控制图像生成的三块主板集成为单张主板，可有效减低成本。
