More brightness enables larger screens..
Most HDTV resolution projectors have very low brightness
levels when properly calibrated, and are unable to fill a
decently sized screen with the brighntess level desired,
let alone what is recommended by the SMPTE. Not so
with the Action! model three 1080. It’s unique two-lamp
complement can provide up to six times more brightness
than some of the competition, which means screen size
can be increased similarly with the same realized and
perceived brightness level!
..and higher true optical contrast
With higher brightness levels available, more can be used
to turn into true optical contrast. Unlike most competing
projectors that are using dynamic contrast enhancement
teqniques, the Action! model three 1080 uses pure
optical contrast to achieve truly dynamic imaging. Where
dynamic enhancements may look good on paper with
massive contrast numbers, and impressive with viewers
at first, true optical contrast does not give white crush
and loss of detail in the incoming signal, and always
stays true to the calibrated grey scale tracking.
1080p - more detail, better dynamics, better quality
1920 x 1080 - true, uncompressed HDTV resolution -
gives hugely improved image quality and more lifelike
images through more detail and better dynamics over
any other resolution and standard. With a given screen
size, the Action! model three 1080 can reproduce more
than double the information and detail reproduced by a
720p projector, and up to six times the detail of regular
SDTV material. An increase in image quality that everyone
can appreciate.
The new reference in home cinema.
introducing true HDTV 1080p single chip DLP™ front projection
Action! model three 1080
The projectiondesign Action! model
three 1080 is the world’s first true
HDTV single chip DLP™ front projector,
using the new 0.95” 1080p DMD™
by Texas Instruments®. It shows true,
uncompressed, unaltered 1920 x 1080
resolution HDTV like no other projector.
Single chip DLP™ with DuArch™ architechture
The Action! model three 1080 is based on
projectiondesign’s patented DuArch™ illumination
architechture. Using two lamps, two colour wheels
and dual light formatters, it offers outstanding single
chip DLP™ performance. It surpasses all other single
chip front projectors in optical performance, featuring
a wider head room than any other competing projector,
with up to 7500 : 1 true optical contrast, and completely
configurable brightness output. The model three 1080
uses Texas Instruments® new SLR - Spoke Light
Recapture - a part of the BrilliantColor™ technology - to
dramatically improve colour reproduction, especially in
secondary colours.
Dual colour wheels use NDG (Neutral Density Green) technology
to increase visual colour resolution in green, creating a higher bit-
resolution image, dramatically reducing low level dithering artefacts.
1920 x 1080 pixels give six times the screen size with the same
perceived resolution.
Patented DuArch™ dual architechture
technology uses two lamps, dual colour
wheels and dual light formatter paths for the
most efficient and highest performance single
chip DLP™ projection engine ever created.
High performance optics
A range of six lenses is available. From ultra wide angle
at 0.75 : 1, designed for rear projection, to the super
tele zoom at 3.7 - 6.5 : 1 ratio. All lenses use special
LD (Low Dispersion) glass, and aspherical lens elements
manufactured to the highest possible standards, with very
high precision CNC-machined mechanical interfaces. All
lenses feature lens shift both horizontally and vertically
to aid in installation without having to introduce digital
distortion and reduction of detail through the use of
digital keystone adjustment.
True optical contrast vs sequential contrast
True optical contrast will always have full white level
and full black level available with any picture content. A
torch pointing at the camera in a dark environment will
have true, intense, white light, at the same time as the
dark areas will be just that. Sequential - or dynamically
enhanced contrast - on the other hand, will control the
output of the projector based on image content. Only
with bright content pictures will the projector have
intensive brightness. The dark environment may be
dark, but the torch will look more like a candle, as it
will not have an intensive output. With mixed exposure
scenes, a projector with dynamic contrast enhancement
will have neither bright, nor dark images, whereas true
optical contrast will have maximum available contrast at
all times, providing a much more dynamic image. Some
projectors try to overcome problems with varying output
levels by electronically compensating for it. This leads
to severe loss of detail, especially in bright parts of the
frame with mixed and low exposure scenes.

Infinitely adjustable output brightness
To match the Action! model three 1080 to any desired
on-screen brightness, each lamp’s power is individually
adjustable, in addition to adjusting illumination apertures
with extremely high precision. This gives an infinitely
adjustable brightness, up to as high as 2500 ANSI
lumens, enough for even the largest screens.
RealColor colour management suite
Our proprietary RealColor colour
management suite ensures perfect
colour and grey scale reproduction,
and allows an easy and accurate way
to setting up. Each single projector
is individually calibrated during the final test phase,
recording actual performance, with colour gamut and
saturation, as well as electrical properties. This is then
applied to the incoming signal, in order to display any
format correctly. Each unit comes calibrated to a perfect
D65 white point.
The Sealed Optical Architechture molded
magnesium engine ensures a stable and reliable
chassis for the optics. With a high precision CNC
machined mechanical interface to the projection
lens, optimum focus is ensured at all times.
The precision projection lenses feature LD (Low Dispersion) glass and
aspherical lens elements to resolve the finer detail of a 1920 x 1080
HDTV image. High microcontrast provides an incredible image quality.

High performance single link connection.
The Action! model three 1080 connects to the Crystalio II video processor
using a totally unique concept and technology. A self adapting digital line
driver enables use of standard, high gauge digital cables without loss of
quality. No special design interface cable is required, and lenghts up to 25
meters are easily managable. The self adapting nature of the interface eases
installation. There is no manual balancing or equalisation needed. Everything
is just plug and play. The digital cable interface suppoerts 10-bit HDMI video,
but uses DVI connectors for mechanical superiority. In addition to the DVI
cable, an RS232 cable is required for control.
