Amazing Color and White Light Output

Color Light Output

Always look for Color Light Output when choosing a projector.

•For optimum image quality and performance, the projector you choose

should offer equal levels of color and white light output

•When the two measurements are not identical, images do not look

balanced. Whites may be brighter, making the colored areas look

dull and fl at

•The combination of color richness (Color Light Output) and brightness

(White Light Output) is as critical as the combination of bass and treble

would be when purchasing audio equipment

The PowerLite Pro Z8250NL and Z8255NL deliver 10,000 lumens

of color light output and 10,000 lumens of white light output

PowerLite Pro Z8350WNL delivers 8500 lumens of color light

output and 8500 lumens of white light output

for true-to-life,

vibrant, colorful images, even in ambient light. For today’s color-

rich, multimedia content, users want projectors that deliver both

optimum white and color imagery. That’s why the industry has

developed a new metric called Color Light Output.

When color and white light output
are equal or balanced, colors are
authentic and vibrant.

When white light output is greater
than color light output, images may
appear duller.

How is CLO Measured?

C2Fine Technology Delivers a Higher Contrast Ratio

The Color Light Output spec measures Red, Green and Blue, each on a

9-point grid, applying the same method used in the ISO 21118 standard

for measuring White Light Output.

Brightness (or White Light Output)

measures the total amount of white
light projected in lumens on a 9-point
grid. It does not measure color.

Color Light Output
uses three 9-point grids to measure
the primary colors — red, green and
blue, applying the same approach
used to measure White Light Output,
in lumens.

C2Fine offers smooth, uniform images with exceptional contrast for better

image quality. Based on this new phase-compensation technology, light

leakage is eliminated. And, when combined with auto iris, C

Fine allows

for contrast ratios up to 5000:1 using the Pro Z Series projectors.

State-of-the-art FineFrame Interpolation Processing Technology

(Z8450WUNL and Z8455WUNL only)

A movie is a series of still frames, shown in quick succession. Traditional movies are shot at 24 frames per second (fps). However, in some cases, fast-moving

objects may have moved too fast to be captured on film, so they appear to jump from one part of the screen to another. This effect is called motion judder.

In order to reduce motion judder, Epson has created FineFrame Interpolation Technology, which looks at the frames before and after an action, and creates an

interpolated frame, halfway between two existing frames. As a result, a smoother motion is perceived by the viewer.

FineFrame Interpolation is most beneficial when

viewing content such as action movies and sports

videos, which are typically shown in high-definition at

30 fps. In this case, multiple frames are interpolated

and inserted each second, in order to create a

more realistic viewing experience.

Enhanced Super-resolution Technology For Sharp,
Dramatically Rich Images

•Makes DVDs and standard and high-definition content come alive

via its mixed color separation techniques and imaging simulation

•Delivers crisp, clear images with super high-quality resolution

•Sharpens blurry images that have been enlarged by a general

upscaling process

Award-winning Faroudja DCDi Cinema
for Advanced Video Quality

Faroudja DCDi Cinema is a video enhancement technology, used primarily

for film viewing, that produces exceptional image quality without introducing

artifacts. Faroudja developed DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing)

to eliminate jaggy images by using a unique algorithm. This algorithm, in

combination with the technology’s decoding, deinterlacing and enhancement

features, won an Emmy Award from the

National Academy of Television Arts and

Sciences in 2001.

Improved Video with 3:2, 2:2 and 4:4 Pull-down

Most movies are shot at 24 frames per second and displayed on a 60 Hz (60

frames per second) device, such as a projector, TV or monitor. This creates a

problem, since each frame must be repeated 2.5 times to fill the full length of

an entire second (24 x 2.5 = 60). Showing half a frame creates blurry images,

so the display industry has come up with the following solutions:

•3:2 pull-down: Frames are repeated in a 3, 2, 3, 2 pattern to create a

smoother movie experience.

•2:2 pull-down: Frames are repeated in a 2, 2, 2, 2 pattern, which is ideal

for a true movie experience.

•4:4 pull-down (Z8450WUNL and Z8455WUNL only): When the projector

runs at 120 Hz, frames are repeated in a 4, 4, 4, 4 pattern, which ensures

the best movie experience.

6-axis Color Adjustment

For special projection material such as high-quality photographs or artwork,

users can adjust the hue, saturation and brightness for six colors, RGBCMY

(Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).
