DCI-P3 is new color space standard for 4K lm production

The lm industry has upgraded the color standard for lm making from Rec. 709 to DCI-P3, and has also
enhanced the resolution by moving from Full HD to 4K. DCI-P3 color space is 1.26 times wider than
Rec. 709, especially in Green and Red. Compared to the older 1080p lms, theater goers can now enjoy
richer and more lifelike colors from 4K technology.

Color Gamut

How movie lovers can enjoy 4K lms at home the
same as at a theater.

Color plays a key role in telling a lm’s story. The director
carefully chooses just the right color palette to evoke feelings
of sorrow, joy, romance, and thrills. To see a movie where all
those emotions come to life exactly as the director intended,
viewers need to have the same technology as lmmakers. Since
4K UHD HDR lms and 4K streaming contents use DCI-P3 as
the color space to express the director’s vision, movie lovers
should likewise choose a 4K projector capable of accurately
displaying the DCI-P3 color gamut. BenQ’s HT3550 is exactly
the right choice for 4K UHD HDR lms. It delivers 8.3 million
individual and unique pixels onscreen, and embodies BenQ’s
commitment to “Convey the truest color and impart the
deepest feelings to the viewer.” It offers lm buffs and movie
acionados DCI-P3 True 4K HDR cinematic quality to ensure
an immersive theatrical experience with a larger screen at
home.

Because it matters

Keep Viewing True Colors as the Director Intended

True 4K UHD performance – every color displayed exactly as the director had in mind, begins with 8.3 million
distinct pixels. Plus, BenQ’s HT3550 projector uses one-chip DLP® technology, assuring no color decay over
time. It’s also equipped with BenQ CinematicColor technology and the RGBRGB color wheel* to reproduce
authentic lm industry colors in a digital cinema. The optimized color scale minimizes the potential rainbow effect
that some users might see. Finally, HT3550’s all-glass 4K-optimized lens produces ultimate image precision now
and for years to come.

View More Details in a Film’s Darkest and Brightest Areas

See more detail in every 4K lm, whether the scenes are dark or bright. The HT3550 HDR Auto Tone Mapping
automatically detects a Blu-ray HDR disk’s metadata settings for darkest black and brightest white, then instantly
changes the brightness settings. Dynamic Black™ Technology and Active Iris further tell the director’s story most
accurately. Dynamic Black™ determines appropriate light levels and optimizes the contrast dynamically to match
the scene, while Active Iris opens and closes dynamically to control how much light passes through to the optical
system. Together they bring out the detail in dark shadow, and reserve bright scenes as the original image.
