The MultiSync HiVid Series digital advantage
With completely digital projection technology, the MultiSync HiVid Series projectors
offer unique image quality advantages not available with other projection systems.
Seamless images
The MultiSync HiVid Series projectors produce
images that are virtually seamless. Because
90% of the pixel or mirror area can actively
reflect light to create the projected image,
the human eye sees more visual information
than with conventional projection systems.
In addition, the uniform pixel size and spacing
enables the MultiSync HiVid Series projectors
to achieve a higher perceived resolution than
other projection technologies.
Digital gray scale and
color reproduction
The digital nature of the MultiSync HiVid Series
projectors makes possible digital gray scale
and color reproduction, producing lifelike color
images with exceptional accuracy. In fact, DLP
comes closer than any other technology to
producing an exact mirror image of an input
video or graphic signal, making it the ideal
medium to display computer graphics, television
signals and other digital images.
Page 5
Display more accurate, lifelike images with an entirely
digital projection system.
High brightness
Because the MultiSync HiVid Series projectors
utilize a reflective technology, they are far
more efficient than competing systems.
More light gets from the lamp to the
screen—an important factor in high-brightness applications. The MultiSync HiVid 3500
produces more than 3500 ANSI lumens of
light output, while the MultiSync HiVid 6500
produces more than 6500 ANSI lumens.

Using Digital Light
Processing
Texas Instruments, the
MultiSync HiVid Series
projectors make possible
a completely digital
information structure.
Until now, displaying
digital information on
a large screen required
converting the signal
to analog just before
display, introducing
signal noise to the data
path. As a digital display
technology, DLP completes the digital video
infrastructure and preserves the digital integrity
of your information.
Bringing the same kind
of revolutionary advantages to video projection
as the digital compact
disc brought to audio
reproduction, DLP
enables noise-free,
precise image quality
with digital gray scale
and color reproduction.
Light
source
™
(DLP™) by
Digital Micromirror
™
™
(DMD)
Device
The MultiSync HiVid
Series projectors use a
three-chip DLP system,
which means they add
color by splitting white
light into the three primary
colors using a prism
system. This approach
uses a Digital Micromirror
™
Device
(DMD™) by
Texas Instruments, one
for each of the primary
colors. As a result, the
total reflective area is
increased, producing a
much brighter image. In
addition, higher bit color
is possible with the threechip system. Because
light is directed to each
DMD for the entire TV
field, 10-bit gray scale per
color is possible, allowing
the three-chip system to
reproduce 1,024 shades
of gray compared
to 256 in a one-chip system. This highly efficient,
three-chip projection
system is ideal for
large-screen and highbrightness applications.

With exclusive image enhancement features, the
MultiSync HiVid Series projectors let you take your
high light output displays to new heights.
The MultiSync HiVid Series projectors are packed with features that make them stand out among high
light output projection systems. A comprehensive array of image enhancement features, available only
from NEC Technologies, lets you maximize the quality and sophistication of your projected image.
White and brightness uniformity correction
White uniformity and brightness uniformity are critical to overall image quality in applications requiring
high light output. Using NEC Technologies exclusive
AccuZone technology, the MultiSync HiVid Series
projectors enable you to achieve over 90% edgeto-edge white and brightness uniformity. This
correction can be made automatically utilizing
NEC Technologies optional PC control software.
Linear color temperature scale
Lets you adjust the tint in a linear fashion, without
steps, for optimal display of white in video and
computer signals.
Sync mode select
Permits you to select the appropriate sync mode
to best match the video input signal, so that the
output image achieves the same quality as the
input image.
Edge Blending The MultiSync HiVid Series projectors feature NEC Technologies exclusive edge-blending technology, allowing two projectors to be stacked side-by-side with the edges of their
on-screen images perfectly matched. For example, two 3:4 images can be blended side-by-side to achieve one image that has a 3:8 aspect ratio, resulting in a cinema-like, superwide image.
(An optional image splitter is required to achieve this effect.)
Proprietary high-performance video
image processing
Exclusive to NEC Technologies, 3D image processing
greatly improves video to far exceed any other
LCD or DLP high light output projection system.
Selectable color matrix
Allows the MultiSync HiVid Series projectors to
be matched to the incoming signal, resulting in
perfect color reproduction. Signal compatibility
includes DVD (YUV, Y. Cr. Cb.), HDTV (Y. Pb.
Pr. tri-level sync) and Y. R-Y B-Y.
Color transient improvement
Further improves video quality by increasing
picture and color resolution, making the image
sharper and more detailed.
Noise reduction
Eliminates unwanted artifacts that can be present
in video signals.
Selectable gamma correction
Through selectable gamma correction, the
MultiSync HiVid Series projectors allow the user to
achieve satisfying picture quality. Gamma correction
from 1.0 to 2.9 can be selected with continuation.
Without gamma correction, correct luminance and
chrominance levels for each gray scale component
cannot be maintained.
The MultiSync HiVid Series projectors feature gamma
correction for the most accurate gray scale and color
representation.

life, truer color and easy maintenance.
In most large-venue projection
systems, the lamp is the least-efficient
component. Over time, most lamps
degrade in light output and exhibit a
color shift. The decrease in light output
can be as much as 30% in the first 200
hours of operation. NEC Technologies
exclusive bubble-type lamp system
greatly minimizes this effect.
In addition, the lamp in the MultiSync
HiVid Series projectors is safe and easy
to change. The xenon arc lamp itself is
mounted in a special housing and laser
aligned for maximum efficiency. The
housing can easily be removed from
the top or side of the projector and is
easy to remove even when the projector is ceiling-mounted.
To further extend lamp life, the
MultiSync HiVid Series projectors
feature a selectable light output mode:
Hi-Light Mode (220V) Maximum light
output with an expected lamp life of
about 1,000 hours.
Normal Mode (220V) Light output
is rated at 3500 ANSI lumens
(HiVid 3500) or 6500 ANSI lumens
(HiVid 6500) and expected lamp life is
extended to approximately 1,500 hours.
The MultiSync HiVid Series projectors
also can be used with a 120V supply,
but light output will decrease.
To aid in managing maintenance, the
MultiSync HiVid Series projectors also
feature a built-in lamp and projector
timer. The timer indicates how long the
current lamp has been in use and how
long the projector has been turned on,
enabling you to better anticipate the
need to change the lamp.
In the first 200 hours of operation, the light output of the NEC xenon arc lamp decreases only
about 5% and, over time, light output remains
relatively constant. Even after 1,000 hours of
operation, more than 80% of the NEC light output is maintained.
The sleek design of the MultiSync HiVid Series
includes integrated handles that simplify
transportation and installation.
Page 8
Comprehensive control features simplify setup,
maintenance and operation.
NEC Technologies exclusive control features make the MultiSync HiVid Series projectors simple to set up,
maintain and use. No other manufacturer offers this complete range of control options:

turn on and off, or set a countdown time to turn
the projector off.
Closed caption capability
Assists the hearing-impaired by allowing on-screen
viewing of audio information in text format.
Addressable remote control
If more than one projector is installed, the addressable remote can be instructed to communicate with
a particular projector without affecting the others.
Lens offset/focus
Allows the lens and image to be shifted both
horizontally and vertically, facilitating easier
positioning on the screen. HiVid 3500:manual
adjustment; HiVid 6500: motorized (vertical),
