projectiondesign avielo series – a leader in high-performance home cinema (2/3/2009)

The avielo series from Norwegian projector manufacturer, projectiondesign uses Texas Instruments DLP® technology for the ultimate in image quality and resolution. The projectors in the avielo series are superbly styled and packaged, continuing projectiondesign’s tradition for top-level industrial design.

The first four models are the avielo prisma, spectra, optix and radiance. All models are based on the philosophy of providing the best possible image quality and user experience at their respective price levels, All feature projectiondesign’s exclusive RealColor colour management suite, Texas Instruments® DLP™ technology, full 10-bit video processing, and proprietary designed custom optics. Each projector is uniquely characterised and calibrated at the factory, ensuring they will provide the best possible image quality,

The new, full HD 1080p resolution avielo spectra is suitable for screen sizes up to 120-inches wide. With its hand selected “Signature” series projection lenses, high end video processing, and technologies that are directly transferred from our professional projectors often used in the movie industry, this is our expected best seller.

Designed to offer the ultimate in performance from a single-chip DLP design, the avielo optix also features full HD 1080p resolution, a choice of options including the ‘Signature’ series for the best possible picture quality. The unit is suitable for screen sizes up to 180-inch wide, and uses projectiondesign’s patented ‘DuArch’ dual illumination architecture, ensuring that performance is unaffected even in the event of a lamp failure. Cased in a distinctive ‘Etruscan Bronze’ finish, which simply oozes class, the optix will also complement the most stylish of home interiors.

Titled avielo prisma, the entry level DLP projector features 720p resolution, and is suitable for screen sizes up to 100 inches wide and is designed to offer the company’s legendary image quality and ruggedness of construction in a package that is more affordable than ever before.

The radiance model is based on the same chassis as the spectra, but features a higher-power output, making it suitable for screen sizes up to about 135-inch wide.

Topping the range, meanwhile, will be the avielo helios. Using a proprietary design 3-chip DLP architecture, this model is packed with technological advances, including optically adjustable colour gamut without losing precious dynamics and bit-depth, and for the first time, an image content adaptive output level for 3-chip DLP projectors. Suitable for screen sizes up to 300 inches wide, the helios has been designed from the outset as a home cinema projector without compromise.

Joe Manning, International Market Manager, Home Theater, comments: “Movie professionals from the global cinema industry already rely on our professional series projectors during the post production process, to ensure continuity and consistency of color. If you are serious about viewing movies at home, what better way to guarantee the highest level of performance than by choosing the same projection technologies as the movie-makers themselves?”

The cutting-edge ethos of projectiondesign is shared with its sister companies, with the common factor being Eker Designs, industrial designer. It is in this extremely high-tech environment that the projectors are first prototyped alongside the world famous Koenigsegg supercars and Hydrolift speed boats – both international leaders in their field.
