A stunning 1080p cinematic experience. Powerful performance.
3LCD technology — for quality and
colour that’s beyond amazing
Whether it’s a blockbuster movie or live sporting event, 3LCD
technology takes video performance to the next level.
3-Chip Optical Engine• — All 3LCD projectors use a 3-chip optical
engine to deliver incredibly bright, true-to-life colour. Unlike other
technologies, 3LCD projectors do not rely on a spinning colour
wheel to produce colour.
High Colour Light Output• — 3LCD projectors consistently deliver high Colour
and White Light Output so video images always look their very best.
Road-Tested Reliability• — 3LCD technology has been the world leader for 19
years and has consistently been the choice of users who demand the long-life
performance and reliability.
Importance of Colour Light Output
Colour Light Output is a metric reported in lumens that measures a projector’s
ability to deliver colour. Developed by colour scientists, Colour Light Output provides
a simple and accurate way to evaluate projector Colour Performance.
Colour Light Output is critically important because colour is a key indicator of picture
quality. Colour light output provides users with a way to evaluate a projector’s Colour
Performance to make better buying decisions. An equivalent lumens measurement of
Colour Light Output and White Light Output results in optimal Colour Performance.
The image on the right is from a projector with equal Colour Light Output and White
Light Output.

The Silicon Optix HQV processor is the reference standard in deinterlacing and scaling.
Its Floating Point Gate Array technology realises an incredible one trillion processing
operations per second. In fact, this system provides a host of processing, deinterlacing
and scaling benefits. And it delivers true, four–field, pixel–by–pixel processing, even with
1080i/60 Hz HD program material. With standard definition (SD) and high definition
(HD) interlaced content (DVDs, TV shows, 1080i HDTV broadcasts), the Reon–VX
smooths jagged edges on low–angle solid lines and flat edges. MPEG compression–
related artifacts, such as mosquito noise, are reduced due to the Reon’s processing
prowess. MPEG compression works via 8x8 pixel blocks — Reon–VX block–noise
reduction minimises block noise artifacts, restoring a natural picture. For poor contrast
image sources, such as SD broadcast, cable and video tape, Reon–VX provides three
user–selectable levels of contrast enhancement.
Achieve astounding blacks with an incredible 18000:1 contrast ratio, DeepBlack
technology and Epson’s exclusive Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD technology. With VA
LCD technology, opaque (black) is the natural state. Signal voltage is applied to
increase translucence (transmittance) as needed. This is a fundamental design and
performance advantage — a complete re–thinking of LCD chip design. Conventional
LCDs use Twisted Nematic chips, which are translucent in their natural state.
Signal voltage is applied to reduce light throughput, but the inability to achieve
correct Liquid Crystal alignment means that true black is impossible to achieve,
as there will always be some leakage. VA technology is fundamentally correct, and
results in true deep blacks since the molecules align uniformly with minimal stray
light leakage.

New, advanced, high–speed auto iris
Projector lamps work differently than incandescent lamps — they cannot be dimmed
over a wide luminance range. Thus, the auto iris acts as a “light gate” to control
lamp light output. A high–speed, high torque, precision motor and gearing allow
shutter doors to very quickly control light output changes according to the picture
level. The advanced auto iris adjusts light output up to 60 times per second. This
new, advanced function now has a High–speed Mode, which operates at double the
reaction speed, making this an ideal mode for fast–action movies and TV shows.
