InFocus Play Big IN78 Technical Specifications

Play Big IN

78

Building your own home theater is a dream-

come-true for many; everyone else simply

doesn’t know what they are missing. But you

know that nothing is better than turning the

lights down, the volume up and seeing your

favorite movie or the big game projected in true

High Definition. InFocus is dedicated to providing

projectors for these experiences, which is why

we developed the new Play Big IN78.

Enhanced by Pixelworks’™ DNX™ video-processing

technology, it’s worthy of the hype of a Hollywood

premiere. If the IN78 can do all this for your

beloved films, just imagine what it could do for

your other in-home entertainment.

Show & tell, years later.

The onscreen images projected by the IN78 are

vivid, deep and undeniably rich. Every moment

with this projector is an indulgence, a treat and

something you deserve. Its clean, sleek, low-

profile design adds a subtle sophistication to any

room, and thanks to it’s black finish your show will

be distraction-free. The unique swivel base simpli-

fies tabletop setup and can be easily removed for

ceiling mounting. While we’re confident you’ll tell

every friend about your new IN78, it’s much nicer

to show them.

Low-maintenance, what a concept!

Just because the IN78 is a technical wonder

doesn’t mean it has to be complicated to use.

Every menu, feature and onboard technology is

designed to produce incredible video images with

great reliability, simple setup and smooth

installation options. Here’s how:

Enjoy setup in a snap with a simple keypad and

a new, full-featured remote control with patent­pending flashlight feature, direct source access,

programmable presets and more.

The internal level recognizes when the IN78

is ceiling-mounted, automatically flipping the
projected image. No hassles, no problems, just
beautiful images for all to enjoy.

An icon-based menu allows you to quickly scroll
and select your settings in your choice of 12

languages — without interrupting the show.

ISF Certified Calibration Controls allows for
professional setup of over 14 individual set­tings. Best of all, once programmed these
settings cannot be deleted unless intentionally
modified.

An easy to use, icon-based
menu allows you to quickly
scroll and select your
settings.

For the videophile in us all.

The IN78 uses Pixelworks’ DNX video-processing tech­nology to dramatically improve the quality of video by
combining multiple enhancement techniques to deliver
clear, natural-looking standard and high-definition
images. DNX technology utilizes sophisticated digital
video processing to deliver a lifelike picture every time.
Here are a few more of the outstanding features
ensuring awe-inspiring home entertainment:

Native 1280 x 720 resolution creates high-definition
reality from any HD source.

The 720p DarkChip3™ DLP® from Texas Instruments™
provides breath-taking depth and picture sharp­ness, as well as true blacks and whites.

Thanks to 1000 video-optimized lumens with 3500:1
calibrated contrast ratio, you’ll get brilliant, dramatic
SMPTE (cinema-standard) brightness.

The advanced six-segment color wheel delivers intense,

precise colors that rival any movie theater screen.

Your time to shine.

Connecting to your home
entertainment devices is a snap.
You’ll be plugged in, powered up
and projecting in no time flat.
