1.0 General Information

The purpose of this information is to provide the specification for a product whose
primary purpose is the reproduction of video and / or computer graphics
information for one or more viewers.

This reproduction of this information is to be accomplished via a projection DLP
display. This document provides the minimum specifications for this device.

The performance comparison of displays is not only technical in nature, but is
also subjective to the user, when viewed in the final display environment. It is
recommended that devices meeting the requirements of this specification be
compared in the user’s application and environment, if possible.

2.0 Description

This product shall be classified as a large screen projection DLP display, or
graphics projector. This device shall be directly compatible with both video and
computer graphics sources, without the use of external devices to provide this
compatibility.

This device shall employ the use of three 1.1-inch Texas Instruments DMD chips
for optimum display of high-resolution sources.

This device shall employ a highly mobile design that can easily be ceiling
mounted using an optional bracket from the device manufacturer or from third
parties or desktop configured for projection booth use. Handles shall be an
integral part of the device for simplified transport. Stacking of multiple devices
shall be possible with the use of an optional stacker from a third party
manufacturer.

This device shall accept multi-scanning sources, with scan frequencies ranging
from 15 to 100 kHz Horizontally, and 40 to 120 Hz Vertically.

This device shall employ the use of a high performance interpolation circuit,
which regenerates a high-resolution sampling of the original signal by referring to
memorized waveform patterns to enhance image performance. This device shall
also employ the use of a 3-dimensional comb filter and 3-line filter for maximum
chrominance and luminance separation and to minimize dot interference and
cross color when viewing NTSC video sources.

This device shall have the ability to store and recall multiple memory presets for
various video and computer configurations.

4.0 User Interface / Controllability Information

Control of this device shall be accomplished through one of the following
methods:

Backlit, projector control panel
Wired / Wireless backlit projector remote control
Serial control jack for control by external control systems
Advanced serial control jack for control by external control systems
Advanced serial control jack for control by external signal switchers

All of these control methods shall be standard to the device, or available at an
additional charge if considered an optional accessory.

The projector control panel shall be recessed into the cabinet, and shall employ
the use of a backlight that activates when any button is pressed. The backlight
shall have a timeout function. The control panel shall activate multi-language on­screen menus, which navigate the operator through setup and configuration of

the device. The device shall be addressable for control over multiple devices
from a single remote control.

The wired / wireless backlit projector remote control shall operate in the same
fashion as the projector control panel, and shall accommodate infrared wireless
operation, or operation via a standard mini-plug cable. An infrared extender shall
be available from the device manufacturer for operation of the device wirelessly
in a rear-screen or cabinet environment.

The serial control jack shall employ the use of a standardized device control
protocol that is commonly accepted and understood by control systems
manufacturers. This control jack shall accept unidirectional serial commands that
provide full control over the device.

The advanced serial control jack shall employ the use of a standardized device
control protocol that is commonly accepted and understood by control systems
manufacturers. This control jack shall accept and transmit bi-directional serial
commands that provide full control over the device, and provide
acknowledgement to the control system of the received command.

The advanced serial control jack for control by external signal switchers shall
employ the use of a standardized device control protocol that is commonly
accepted and understood by control and signal switching manufacturers, and
shall operate at distances greater than 1000 feet without regeneration from an
external device. This control jack shall accept and transmit bi-directional serial
commands that provide full control over the device, and provide
acknowledgement to the control system of the received command.

The following device functions shall be available for control:
Power On / off
Input Selection
Brightness / Contrast
Video Decoder Functions
Audio Volume
Memory Recall Functions
White Balance
Gain / Bias Control
Image Sizing
Image Positioning

Lens Power Zoom
