Don't know the animation source, but the new 1080 DLPs do look great. I did see differences between the various vendors who'd implemented systems using those chips, though. Some 1080 DLP systems were clearly better than others. -----Original Message----- From: opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Sheppard Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 12:48 PM To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] TI 1080p demo video at CES Did anyone else see TI's demo of 1080p on their next-generation (fifth?) DLP chipset at CES? There was an absolutely mesmerizing computer-generated video being shown before the spokesmodel started her pitch. The video was a Rube Goldberg sort of machine which had balls being launched out of air tubes and landing on various musical instruments (typically percussion and xylophone), then bouncing back into a funnel for recycling. The music was quite innovative, and every note was the result of a ball bouncing somewhere with dozens in motion at any given moment. Meanwhile all the instruments were in motion as well with the xylophone keys on a sort of train track moving under the balls, while the camera's perspective was constantly shifting and lighting effects were changing. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'd love to find the source for this animation...
