I am also a shareholder of PJTV and have been monitoring this thread for a while now but havn't had much to contribute. I recently came across a piece of information on a company called Runco (www.runco.com) that is making a 3 chip DMD projection television with the help of TI. I cannot seem to find any other info. on their development schedule, but it would seem to at least be competition in the future for PJTV. Maybe this is old news to some of those following PJTV for a long time. The info is attached below.
Does PJTV have an actual ship date for their product?.. or is it always to be "sometimes in the first quarter". I am still long the stock but concerned they are not acting very schedule driven. In my opinion, the stock is flatlined until they prove they have a workable product to ship, and ship it. I hope the following is useful....

FROM RUNCO's WEB PAGE....DMD info in next to last paragraph.
LCP-400 is Winner at International Trade Show( An LCD unit)
Runco's hot new LCD projector, the LCP-400, came up a winner at the Photokina Show held in Cologne, Germany, in September.
The LCP-400 was entered in a video projection "shootout" sponsored by INFOCOMM and garnered top honors as one of the two best projectors entered in the shootout.
Photokina is one of the largest trade shows in the world. Held in Cologne every two years, the show caters to the photographic and video industries. Over one million people attend the show during its seven day run.
Manufacturers from around the world exhibit at Photokina. The shootout had hundreds of entries from a myriad of companies across the globe. Every type of projector was entered, included CRT, DMD, lightvalve and LCD. Even more impressive is the fact that Runco is still relatively unknown in Europe and this is a brand new product which had not been seen there before.
This was a return visit to Photokina for Runco, which has been working to introduce American style home theater overseas. America has a lead in this area and to many people abroad the home theater implementations we are accustomed to are an entirely new concept for them.
In addition to the shootout, Runco did a more traditional high end home theater demonstration at its booth. "Theater Europa" featured the IDP-980 Ultra projector and SC-4050 line quadrupler in an enclosed theater demo with show partners VUTEC screen, AMX Corporation and JBL Synthesis. Every demo was full as Runco continues to broaden its reputation in Europe.
Outside the "Theater Europa", Runco showed the new LCP-500 and IDP-850 projectors and a prototype of the LightAmp DLP I projector, which uses a technologically advanced 3-chip DMD array developed by Runco partner, Texas Instruments.
CEDIA was also provided space at the exhibit booth for an informational display as they continue to expand their membership and promote custom home theater across the Atlantic. |
