Eyes-on Brytewerks Model One high-def projector and HTPC combo

In The month of january, we've got our first peek at BryteWerks' Model One projector, although in render form only. Well, today at DEMO, we finally saw the one thing personally and uncovered a little more information about its innards. Still it pumps out 11,000 lumens and throws images around the wall in 1920 x 1200 resolution, however it works out to possess a selection of Apple plastic at its disposal: from a humble 1.6GHz Atom up to and including 3.6GHZ Core i7. You will find also multiple storage options, because the Model One posseses an Apple 320 SSD (60 or 120GB) -- in which the OS resides to make sure very fast boot occasions -- and up to and including 2TB Hard disk drive, so you've lots of space for your media. Talking about the OS, it works out the projector/HTPC has two: a personalized version of XBMC and Home windows 7, along with a custom GUI (presently in development) to create calibrating the projector dead simple. Since the projector's 1200-watt metal halide bulb creates a lot warmth, the interior chassis is made of aluminum and houses the constituents into four individually cooled chambers. This way, all of the PC parts can remain awesome at the base whilst the projector's running full bore.

We've got to talk with its creator, Justin Evans, concerning the genesis from the device, and that he informed us that he's but a humble filmmaker who's attempting to help independent theaters, film festivals, filmmakers, and customers. His goal was to produce a projector that's both simple to use and low as chips (comparatively speaking) make it possible for film editing around the giant screen making top quality movie projection open to the public. Considering that the Model The first is set to begin shipping in 6 to 8 days in an selling price of $2999, we'd say he's hit the objective -- presuming the look quality is just like he states it's, and also the build excellence of the production model's as much as snuff, obviously.
