New and affordable add-on lens delivers high performance home theater for low-cost projection systems.
November 1, 2004 (Press Release) --
Livonia, MI--October 29, 2004— Integrated Media Systems, Inc., today announced that it has become the exclusive distributor of the new Panamorph PSO-U15 anamorphic video conversion lens manufactured by Visual Systems Research, Inc.
Based on industry-leading Panamorph patented optics and lens design, the PSO-U15 is specially created to provide high value enhancements for all wide screen video content shown by 4:3 and 16:9 native projectors in the mid to low price categories. Because the Panamorph allows the projector to use 33% more pixels to form the wide screen image, brightness and resolution are significantly enhanced, the image becomes smoother and formerly unused pixel regions are made totally dark, all resulting in images of exceptional impact. The PSO-U15 converts 4:3 format projectors to the 16:9 HDTV standard and also converts 16:9 format projectors to the 2.35:1 Cinemascope format - the format of the most popular movies. And since Panamorph lenses do not change the width of the image, they can be easily installed to enhance virtually all home theater projectors already installed.
“The new Panamorph PSO-U15 is with out a doubt one of the top home theater upgrades available today when considering performance versus cost,” said Tim Knittel, President of Integrated Media Systems, Inc. “Consumers can now combine any of today’s bright, affordable 4:3 projectors with the Panamorph and save thousands of dollars compared to native 16:9 projectors offering only half the light output. On the other hand, native 16:9 projectors can also be enhanced to provide brighter, smoother images with higher resolution when watching 2.35:1 movies. What’s more, the Panamorph U15 works on hundreds of different projector models, so chances are that even if you upgrade to a new projector in the future, your Panamorph lens will work with that also. It’s really a win-win for everyone.”
“These continue to be increasingly exciting times for the home theater industry and for our Panamorph product line,” said Shawn Kelly, CEO of Visual Systems Research, Inc. “We are very pleased to engage Integrated Media Systems on behalf and in support of our dealers promoting affordable, high performance home theater systems. Their experience within the audio/visual industry and dedication to evangelizing maximum performance from today’s products will be a key driver to the expansion of this rapidly growing market.”
Integrated Media Systems, Inc. is a distributor of specialized audio/visual products for consumer home theater and commercial presentation markets and will assume its roll as the exclusive distributor of the PSO-U15 through all market channels effective immediately. The PSO-U15 mounts independently in front of the projector lens and has an MSRP of $695.00. An optional rail system ($85.00 MSRP) is also offered to easily move the Panamorph lens in and out of the beam.
