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.

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...

Bill
