High Contrast and Picture Quality

This single-DMD DLP

Fantastic Dynamic Performance and Rich Gray-scale

With a 6-segment color wheel, the picture's refresh rate can attain speeds of up to 240 Hz. By doing this, this unit
provides fantastic dynamic performance and rich gray-scale without the 'color-flicker' or 'rainbowing' associated with
other single-DMD DLPTM projectors.

Sealed Optical Engine with a High-Quality Lens Design

The optical engine uses a high-quality lens for maximizing optical performance. The sealed optical engine prevents
light leakage and any dust from entering the engine, which could cause annoying 'spots' in the image.

Low Noise Operation

The projector's unique cooling system design prevents annoying fan noise, and is rated at less than 30 dB.

Wide Variety of Inputs

This unit can support various video formats, including Composite, S-Video, Component, DTV Y/PB/PR, DTV RGB
and Computer signals. The HDTV input (DTV Y/PB/PR and DTV RGB) is input through RGB BNC port, providing the
least amount of signal degradation caused by longer cable runs.

HDTV Ready

480i, 480P, 1080i and 720P (576I and 576P PAL Version) formats are all compatible with this unit
(via an external DTV decoder, not provided).
