Mechdyne Passes 100 Milestone for Sony SXRD 8MP Projectors
 MARSHALLTOWN,
IA, Mar 12, 2009 - Mechdyne Corporation today announced that it has deployed
more than one hundred of Sony Corporation’s ground-breaking SXRD 4096 x 2160
resolution projection systems into advanced visual environments around the
world. Combined, these projectors represent more than eight hundred million
pixels of digital imagery installed for applications that enable new insight
and expand knowledge in engineering, research, government and military
programs.
Originally designed by Sony for digital cinema applications, SXRD projection
has found a strong following in advanced graphics and visualization
applications. Mechdyne worked with Sony to create and test a version of the
projector that would support high bandwidth computer graphics signals. The first
SXRD computer graphics capable projectors were installed by Mechdyne in a 24
projector, 100 million pixel stereoscopic pixel system for Iowa State
University’s C6 six-sided virtual reality environment. Since then, Mechdyne has
integrated single projector systems for 2D (monoscopic) imagery and, using two
projectors and Mechdyne’s patented Beacon technology, incredible 3D
(stereoscopic) imagery systems at locations around the world.
Mechdyne integrates SXRD projectors into a wide variety of display
configurations including large scale Powerwall displays, surround screen CAVE
environments, FLEX reconfigurable displays and auditorium screens as well as
custom configurations. Mechdyne also provides fully configured graphics
computing systems and software that takes full advantage of the SXRD’s
incredible resolution. Mechdyne highly recommends the new T-series SXRD
projector for advanced visualization applications given its improved brightness,
enhanced contrast ratios and other improvements. The first T-Series projectors
are currently being staged at Mechdyne for a multi-room, multi-projector
research facility at King Abdullah University in Dubai.
