D CD-500FD
DLP® Cinema Projector
DCD-500FD High Output DLP® Projection System
12,000 ANSI dual lamp home theater projector with ProScaler MK III
Enjoy ultra-bright, bold and colorful imagery from today’s best sources with Wolf Cinema’s
latest high-performance projection system, the DCD-500FD. Boasting 12,000 ANSI of peak
white performance and excellent contrast levels, this system can cast razor-sharp images on
screens as large as 20-ft [6.1 meters] in width!
The powerful dual-lamp technology deployed in the DCD-500FD will facilitate output levels
rivaling smaller Hollywood cinema installations – but packaged in a quiet, diminutive chassis
design with the home theater enthusiast in mind. Twin 465W UHP lamps can be run concurrently
to achieve maximum peak white output, or can be dialed back in “eco” modes for extended
life. The lamps can also be fired independently and run in “sequential” operating modes,
achieving even longer lamp and run times between lamp changes.

Wolf Cinema’s DCD-500FD ensemble boasts Texas Instrument’s latest 0.95 DLP
chip set for ultra-fast, lag-free images from all your favorite SD and HD sources. The six-segment
color wheel [RGBCYW] timing has been further optimized for excellent color tracking, while the
projector’s dynamic aperture helps increase deep black contrast level performances to well
over 5000:1.
The included rack-mountable ProScaler MK III video processor delivers some of our most
advanced Wolf Cinema video processing to date, with multi-axis CMS calibration capabilities
for precise color tracking, superior motion and noise reduction algorithms, multiple calibration
memories per input/per frequency, and more. But the best part may be our latest technology
wizardry known as E-VariScope™: enjoy that immersive 2:35:1 CinemaScope
experience without those unwanted top & bottom “black bars” as experienced on 16/9 screens…
and all without an external anamorphic lens!
The DCD-500FD will deliver year after year of that “uncompromised Wolf Cinema image” in all
viewing modes, from all your favorite sources.
