SXGA+ (1400x1050)
XGA (1024x768)
DLP™ Technology 5500 ANSI lumen 7500:1 contrast ratio 8000 hours lamp life 6 lens options
High Resolution DLP™ technology
1400 x 1050 pixel resolution provides the most detailed images of any DLP™ projector
available. Ideal for visualisation, simulation and medical imaging, the F3 easily
resolves the fi ner detail of specialty graphics, such as X-
Ray and MR, CAD/CAM and design, and for instance
oil and gas reservoir 3D modelling and visualisation.
The F3 provides very high visual resolution display for
immersive simulation. Compared to XGA resolution,
SXGA+ provides almost double the amount of pixels for a
truly seamless image. With support for 1600x1200 and even
higher resolutions the F3 becomes near “resolution less”, and as
close to a continu ous analogue image as possible.
The F3 XGA with it’s 1024 x 768 resolution provides a very versatile high
performance DLP™ projector. Ideal for rental and staging, video and public displays,
the F3 XGA easily copes with showing high brightness, and great detail. Utilising DLP™
technology gives perfect balance between high performance and affordable price.
24/7 continuous operation
The F3 is built to operate in heavy duty and continuously run applications, such as
control rooms and public displays. Using DLP™ technology – known for its long term
stability and reliability – the F3’s patented DuArch™ architecture features dual lamps,
dual colour wheels, and dual light formatters. This lowers wear on each individual
component by reducing heat and mechanical wear. In addition, cooling and mechanical
design is built to very high standards, with over-specifi ed fans for complete control.
Super long lamp life – 8000 hours
The standard lamps delivered can be set to operate in automatic relay eco mode for
a super long life of up to 8000 hours. Run continuously, this setup runs nearly a year
before lamps need replacement. The result is a very low cost of ownership, perfect for
control rooms and other critical installations.
Dual, single and automatic lamp relay modes
The F3 can be confi gured to run in full-power dual, long-life single, and automatic lamp
relay modes. In automatic relay mode, lamps will alternate in operation to keep both
lamps at the same performance level at all times. Lamp hours and usage is stored in
the lamp, making performance checking easy in for instance rental applications.
The world’s most powerful projector
– projectiondesign F3
The projectiondesign F3 is the world’s most powerful single chip DLP™ projector.
It has been designed to meet the ever increasing requirements in professional
imaging solutions, such as public displays, medical imaging, control rooms and
visualization and simulation solutions. Utilising DLP™ technology, the F3 SXGA+
features 1400 x 1050 pixel resolution, and fully confi gurable brightness at up to
5500 ANSI lumens, creating the world’s most powerful single chip DLP™ projec-
tor.
The F3 XGA (1024 x 768) is a cost effective model, based on the high end F3
SXGA+. It is primarily targeted at rental and staging applications, as well as high
intensity 24/7 installations.

2000 hour lamp life
Using 2000 hour, 250W UHP™ lamps gives better performance than using compa-
rable, higher power lamps. As high power lamps often have shorter life time, the actual
performance from a 250W is higher than that of the comparable lamp over most of
it’s life time, and even lasts twice as long, even if the higher power lamp has a higher
initial output. The 250W lamp even increases up to 10% in brightness over the fi rst
100 hours.
Failsafe dual lamp architecture
The patented DuArch™ architecture features two high performance 250W UHP™
lamps accessible from the side of the projector. This allows easy lamp replacement
while mounted, and reduces down-time during for instance service inspections.
Lamps can be individually replaced while the projector is in operation.
Adjustable output power and system matching
In order to match any number of projectors on exact brightness output, the user can
adjust power output for each lamp individually, in addition to adjusting illumination
lens aperture IRIS. This gives an infinitely adjustable brightness output from below
1000 lumens, to as high as 5500
ANSI lumens
Custom colour wheel options
The F3 features several different
colour wheel options as standard,
optimised for different applications.
For visualisation and simulation, as well as photographic reproduction, a 3-segment,
3x colour wheel increases colour gamut, and reduces colour break up artefacts.
Two different 4-segment, 2x colour wheels are also available; one optimized for
high brightness applications, the other for increased colour saturation and video
performance. The F3 XGA can be had with custom 6-segment, 4x colour wheels.
High end video processing
For standard moving video processing, the F3 features the highly regarded Faroudja®
FLI2310 deinterlacing chipset. Compatible with both standard definition, and High
definition analogue input sources, patented technologies such as 3:2 and 2:2 pull-
down with bad edit detection, DCDi™
(Directional Correlational Deinterlacing),
Cross-colour suppression and TrueLife™ non-
linear enhancement combine to create superb
results, converting standard interlaced video
to high resolution progressive scan images -
free from artefacts, and with sharp, detailed
pictures with deeply saturated colours.
Control and command
The F3 features direct RS232 and RS232 bus connectivity, with up to 128 devices
connected to the same control console. It also features a dedicated TCP/IP interface,
with a built in web page, and can be used with any type of system controller. For
simpler set-ups, the backlit IR remote control features wired connection and individual

Designed for flexibility
The F3 has been designed to be the ultimately flexible projector. User replaceable
bayonet mount lenses, full lens shift both vertically and horizontally (110% and 90%
respectively), full illumination control - no other projector is even close in image
adjustability. From auditoriums and events needing high brightness, to smaller settings
where resolution, picture quality, contrast and readability is more important. The F3
can fit in to all installations.
Stacking of units
With the built-in lens shift possibilities, the F3 can easily be stacked on top of each
other for multiplying the light output, or to provide simple and quick set up for passive
stereo configurations. The cabinet has simple, non-locking stacking features to allow
this without any further equipment or mounts. Units can also be stacked side by side
in order to facilitate this.
Wide range of lenses
Six easily replaceable bayonet mount lenses cover every need. From the Ultra Wide
Angle at 0.8 : 1, designed for rear projection, to the Super Tele Zoom at 4-0 - 7.0 :
1 ratio. All lenses, with the exception of the Ultra Wide Angle - designed for on-axis
projection, feature full lens shift.
ID settings, so it can be used to control
a number of units individually, changing
the ID of which one it controls at the click
of a button.
Remote asset management
The F3 supports remote asset
management through RS232 and TCP/
IP. All status- and operating information
can be retrieved in order for a systems controller to operate and manage projectors
from a central location.
Status monitoring
In order to secure functionality and up-time, the F3 features a wide range of status
monitoring features. The large, backlit LCD display on the rear displays all status
information, from current source, to lamp status, operating hours, and allpossible
settings. There is also an incredibly useful and 100% failsafe visual inspection of
lamps, so one can monitor which lamp is running, and in what mode the projector
operates. Remotely, all status information can be retrieved over the dedicated TCP/IP
connection, as well as over RS232.
PIN code locking function
A familiar Personal Identification Number (PIN) code system can be used to completely
lock the projector for unwanted use or as anti-theft precaution. A 4-digit code can be
created and individually configured.
SOA – Sealed Optical Architecture
To ensure faultless and trouble-free operation
in unforgiving and harsh environments, the F3
features a fully sealed optical architecture. Dust, smoke and other tiny particles are
prevented from entering and contaminating the delicate light engine, thus will not alter
the displayed image over time. In addition, it ensures the projector requires almost no
servicing and maintenance.
Expandable input section*
In addition to all common interfaces, such as HDCP compatible DVI, BNC and VGA
connectors, the F3 is totally unique in the way it offers the user to specify expansion
options through our XPort™ technology. By granting access to the internal signal
processing architecture, both front- and back end, users can develop and attach any
type of signal processing unit. Front end options include SDI / HD-SDI and for instance
IEEE1394 video interfaces, back end processing can include geometry correction
boards, or blending and shading expansions.
