f2.4 projection lens and a Picture
Management System that uses 10-bit
component signal processing from
input to output. The new 16:9
widescreen DLP™ chip offers HDcompatible resolution of 1280 x 720 and
a 5x color wheel ensures superb color
reproduction. There are also numerous
features for enhanced performance and
convenience, including complete Color
Balance Control, motorized optics for
installation flexibility, a “Silent” projector
design and custom installation
solutions. You’ll know how good life can
be when you relax with family and
friends and watch your favorite movies
unfold on a super-wide screen in
exquisite color and clarity.
Yamaha Natural Black Concept
How a video system reproduces black
and all its gradations is what
determines contrast, and generally
makes the difference between an image
that is merely good and one that is
sharp and richly detailed at every level
of brightness. In quest of superior
contrast performance, Yamaha
developed the Natural Black concept,
whereby various technologies, parts
and functions combine to achieve truer,
deeper levels of black than those of
conventional home theater projectors.

With other projectors, black contrast may
be soft and fuzzy rather than sharp and

Conventional projectors: Due to “floating

black” effect, rendering of deep blacks is
very difficult.

An Optical Engine Far Superior to
Conventional Types
The DPX-1000 utilizes a superior optical
engine with an extremely high quality
projection lens, based on the concept
that if lens performance is low, it is
impossible to take full advantage of the
high image quality resulting from the
projector’s advanced processing. This
large diameter lens, with 12 groups and
14 elements and a wide f value of 2.4,
incorporates design expertise used to
create high-end single lens reflex and
TV camera lenses. The lens is made of
expensive anomalous dispersion glass
with an aspherical shape and special
coating for projector use. It ensures the
12-Group, 14-Lens Configuration
highest possible resolution and
contrast. In all performance aspects —
color reproduction, color balance,
contrast, resolution, and above all, filmlike rich texture — the performance of
this lens is outstanding.
Motorized Iris Control for Higher
Contrast
The DPX-1000 is equipped with a
motorized Optical Iris that synchronizes
control of the projection system and
illumination system. Optimizing the
shape of the iris achieves an extremely
high contrast ratio of 2,700:1 in the
Cinema mode, as well as increasing
depth of field and enhancing black
level. The prism shape and lens
arrangement are also optimized, and a
low-reflection coating restricts the
reflection of unnecessary light that
reduces contrast. With this system,
contrast is so good that small details
that would ordinarily be masked by
black areas
are visible.
