1. Introduction

1-1. Introduction to the Projector

This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.

General

•Single-chip DLP projector with high resolution and high brightness

Realized to project the image in the resolution 1920 × 1200 pixels (WUXGA), the aspect ratio in 16:10, and the brightness in 20,000 lumens.*1

*1 Brightness:

LIGHT MODE	Brightness
NORMAL	18,000 lm / 19,000 lm (Center)
BOOST	19,000 lm / 20,000 lm (Center)

[BOOST] is a mode to make the picture look brighter than the [NORMAL] mode. See page 31, 64 for details.

•Superior dust-proof structure

Adapted the cycle cooling system for cooling down the optical parts. By this system, air in the light source is cooled down and circulated. As the result, the optical parts are not exposed to the open air and enable to keep brightness without contamination by dust.*2

*2 Can not prevent contamination by dust completely.

Light source · Brightness

•A long-life laser diode is equipped in the light module

The product can be operated at low cost because the laser light source can be used for a long time without requiring replacement or maintenance. The maintenance time may be shortened depending on the operating environment.

•Brightness can be adjusted within a wide range

Unlike with ordinary light sources, the brightness can be adjusted from 30 to 100% in 1% increments.

•[CONSTANT BRIGHTNESS] mode

Brightness normally decreases with use, but by selecting [CONSTANT BRIGHTNESS] mode, sensors inside the projector detect and automatically adjust the output, thereby maintaining constant brightness throughout the life of the light module.

However, if brightness output is set at the maximum, brightness will decrease with use.

Installation

•Wide range of optional lenses selectable according to the place of installation

This projector supports 5 types of optional lenses, providing a selection of lenses adapted to a variety of places of installation and projection methods.

Note that no lens is mounted upon shipment from the factory. Please purchase optional lenses separately and contact your dealer to install and replace the lens unit.

•This projector can be installed any angle within vertical and horizontal 360° range, however, life of optical parts will be shorten in the following installation state:

•When the projector is installed on which lens faces downward.

•When the intake vent on the projector side faces downward in the portrait installation.

•Power lens control for quick and easy adjustment

By using buttons on the projector or the remote control, zoom, focus, and position (lens shift) can be adjusted.
