Toshiba Announces Projector Featuring Super Close Projection Lens, Integrated DVD Player, 5.1 Surround Sound System, and Silicon Optix's Realta HQV Processing

CeBIT 2006
HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2006--Toshiba has announced the et20 projector with integrated DVD player, 5.1-channel audio system, and an exclusive Super Close Projection lens that will produce a 2-meter (diagonal) image from 1-meter and a 1.5-meter image from only 70 centimeters away. The projector will also feature the Realta HQV(R) video processor for delivering what's acknowledged as the industry's best image quality. The projector will have a retail price of EUR 1599 ($1900 US) and will be available in April 2006.

"Toshiba's et20 will use the no-compromise Realta HQV(R) processor, which makes any standard DVD video approach the image quality of HD video. Exclusive HQV features such as pixel-by-pixel noise reduction and advanced multi-cadence detection ensure that any DVD will deliver outstanding image quality," said Gerd Holl, General Manager, Toshiba's Projection & Display Technology Group.

Realta "HQV Powered by Teranex" encompasses true 10-bit video processing, full four-field motion- adaptive video deinterlacing for both standard-definition and high-definition signals, pixel-by-pixel temporal-recursive noise reduction, automatic film-mode detection, and pixel-based detail enhancement. It also uses the same video processing power--one trillion operations per second--as the $60,000 Teranex Xantus box.

"Toshiba is driving a new paradigm shift by creating this new category of projector. With its ability to produce a large image from such a short distance, Realta HQV video processing and exceptional 'Anyplace' 2D keystone, and its integrated 5.1 surround sound system, this projector is sure to be a tremendous success for Toshiba, and it will set a very high bar for the rest of the industry," said Hamid Farzaneh, Executive VP of Sales and Business Development, Silicon Optix.
