TEXAS INSTRUMENTS RECEIVE BKSTS AWARD

TEXAS Instruments (TI), providers in digital signal processing and analogue technologies, have received the British Kinematograph, Sound and Television (BKSTS) Technical and Scientific Achievement Award at the Society’s annual luncheon in London.
The award is given by the Society to an individual or organisation who has produced an outstanding invention, development or innovation that has contributed to the advancement of the industries served by the Society.
Lawrie Read, President of BKSTS, said: “There can be little doubt that the world of moving pictures stands poised on the edge of an enormous change which, potentially, can benefit everyone in the industry from movie makers to cinema-goers. The technology to deliver movies digitally has existed for some time, but was of little value until we had digital projection technology. This award recognises the contribution TI’s DLP Cinema technology has made to turning the dream of digital cinema into reality.”
TI have also signed agreements with BARCO, Christie and Digital Projection under the terms of which those companies will develop and market digital cinema projectors based on DLP Cinema technology.
