The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors
presented the 2009 Scientific and Engineering Award (Academy
Plaque) to four individuals responsible for the color accuracy of
Texas Instruments DLP Cinema® projectors. D. Scott Dewald, Greg
Pettitt, Brad Walker and Bill Werner were recognized for their
contributions furthering the design and refinement of the DLP
Cinema projector, enabling color-accurate, digital intermediate
previews of motion pictures.
“For the first time in the over 100-year-old cinema history,
filmmakers and audiences around the world are ensured they will see
colors the way the moviemaker intended every showing when enjoying
a movie or content projected with DLP Cinema technology,” said
Nancy Fares, business manager for Texas Instruments’ DLP Cinema
Products.
The technology awarded is exclusive to DLP Cinema products, but
Texas Instruments works with leading manufacturers to deliver it to
a variety of front projectors, pico projectors, HDTV models and
more. DLP Cinema projection technology is installed in over 17,000
screens worldwide.
