Just got an email about the prototype production board being revealed and shown at PPE. I can't wait to see this in action.
Here is the link:
Obviously, price and release date will be the first questions asked on Friday.

That color DMD looks great! I imagine that somehow the DMD has to tap into and/or update the software on each pin to translate the dmd images to the appropriate color. Would this mean that each color DMD must be game specific? In other words, would something like this be interchangeable between pins? I am definitely looking forward to new info on this. Hope the pricing isn't too outrageous...

I agree with you. If pricing isn't out of reach, this is going to be huge for all of the pinball collector base.
Great Update! We know that JJP is using an LCD now, and possible Stern in their future Pins will use an LCD too, but the machines that are out there now will benefit the most from this! What an awesome update and what a fantastic product!
Hopefully it doubles as a straight monochrome replacement for all games. I have a couple DMDs that are starting to go bad, even without color support I would go for an LCD version over the plasma version (assuming lower heat and energy).
Exciting for sure!

Crossing fingers that it might work for the super dmd sega games! it would be nice to have an alternative to the 500 dollar replacements
I think once the price is revealed all the interest will go out the door, with the custom board, lcd screen and programming I may be wrong but bet its going to be 500+
