2 Features

Highly configurable electronic adjustment gives you the freedom to place the projector wherever you want

A short focal length, high power zoom, and fully vertically adjustable lens allow you to use the projector in a wide range of environments. You can also use the remote control to access many lens functions such as focus, zoom, and lens shift to fine-tune the projector from your viewing position.

Features

Uses the DMDTM device 720p DarkChip3

The projector uses the high contrast “720p DarkChip3TM”, to reduce black levels even further and reproduce contrasts close to that of a film.

Adjust 7 colors independently (including white), or use the automatic color balance function

The DPX-1200 allows you to adjust the 7-axis WRGBYCM color coordinate and gain parameters directly. For better consistency, you can also control color temperature and RBG balance together, allowing you to check that the changes you make are always consistent with your preferences.

The digital interface provides sharp, detailed images

The DPX-1200 is equipped with an HDMI terminal, which is set to become the standard for the coming generation of products. Connect to a DVD player or set-top box with a HDMI terminal to receive digital image data directly, and enjoy completely digitally processed images. Compatible with the content protection function of HDCP.

Intelligent memory functions

The DPX-1200 can store six image memory settings, called memory numbers, for each input jack. For each memory number, you can set parameters for different input resolutions, and the unit will switch to the appropriate parameters when it begins displaying an image of an appropriate resolution. For example, the unit automatically changes display settings without changing memory numbers when you change from watching a DVD to watching a HDTV image for which you have set different image menu item parameters.

In-line menus for image adjustment

You can access image adjustment menu items at the touch of a button, and adjust images while viewing them without opening the menu screen.

Projection distance

The most suitable distance between the screen and the projector (see Projection distance [a]) depends on the size of the screen (diagonal length) you use. You can use the zoom function to adjust the projection distance within a preset range from Wide to Tele. You can also alter the V.POS parameter to adjust the vertical position of the image to better suit the screen. Use the information in the table below to determine the best location to place the projector in to suit your screen size.

Projection image position

Follow the instructions to adjust the position of the projected image on screen.

This illustration shows the limits within which the zoom function can alter projection distance [a] in relation to screen size. You can adjust the image within these limits so that it fills the screen completely. ( ☞ page 21)

You can adjust the vertical position of the projection image up or down by half of the height of the screen. For example, shifting V.POS fully up brings the lower limit of the image above the centerline of the lens. (☞ page 20)

Wide Tele

If you mount this unit on a tabletop, you can use the adjusters on its underside to change the position of the projection image. Rotate the movable part of the two screw-type adjusters at the front bottom of the case to adjust the height. The movement range of the adjusters is 3 cm (1-1/4 inch). Adjust with care as loosening them further than 3 cm may cause them to separate from the unit.

◆ Keystone adjustment

If you mount the unit at an angle to the screen, it projects trapezoidally distorted images. You can use the [keystone Correction] item in the [Setup] menu group to rectify this. (☞ page 22-34)

Memo

• If the keystone is adjusted aspect ratio may not be correctly maintained. To correctly maintain the aspect ratio, try to use the DPX1200 with the lens shift in the center position.

• The video may be disturbed by keystone correction. Wherever possible, we recommend setting up so the screen and projector form a right angle.

The conversion of YUV color separated signal to RGB signal. There are two formats for this, BT.601 for SDTV, and BT.709 for HDTV. This unit switches between them as required.

Component video signal

A method of sending video signals with independent luminance and color signals. Component video gives a higher image quality than ordinary composite video because it bypasses mixing and separating circuits. Component video signal consists of three lines, the luminance signal (Y), and two color difference signals (P PR/CR).

B/CB,

Composite video signal

The most common type of video signal, combining luminance and color signals in one line. This method requires mixing and separating processes on both the send and receive sides. Use a pin cable for connection.

DCDiTM function

High-Definition Television, a term used to define systems that satisfy the following conditions:

• A vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i (p stands for progressive scans, ; stands for interlace scans)

• A 16:9 aspect ratio

Interlace

The most common type of scanning used in televisions. It divides a screen into even and odd numbered fields for scanning, and then builds an image by combining them into one image (frame).

Keystone Correction

Using the unit at an angle to the screen distorts the projected image trapezoidally. You can use Keystone Correction to electronically correct this distortion.

Letterbox

A method of converting the content of landscape oriented film to a 4:3 signal. You can watch landscape images without trimming them by adding a black bar to the top and bottom of the screen, however this sacrifices vertical resolution to some extent.

Progressive

A method of displaying all scanning lines in a frame at once, reducing flicker noticeable on a larger screen and creating a sharp, smooth image. This unit uses progressive scanning for progression.

RGB Signal

A method of transmitting color information using a numeric representation of the primary colors red, green, and blue separately. When received, it is expressed in various colors by adding a mixing colors. RGB is widely used for sending and receiving color images between computers, and requires horizontal and vertical sync signals.

SDTV

Standard Definition Television, a term used to define normal television broadcasts which do not meet HDTV standards.

Smart zoom

Expands the left and right sides of a 4:3 image without altering the center, when you are attempting to project a 4:3 image on a wide screen format. This creates some distortion at both edges.

Squeeze

A method of compressing film images horizontally to an aspect of ratio of 4:3 when recording to video medium. The raw image is oblong, so needs to be passed through a desqueezing circuit to be projected in it’s original form.

Standby

The state in which the circuit that receives infrared-signals from the remote control is active, but all other main circuits are turned on. The unit consumes a small amount of power in this state.

S Video signal

S stands for Separate. A method of sending signals with separate luminance (Y) and color (C) signals. Use a 4-pin mini DIN connector and cable for connection.

Sync.

Computers output signals with a given regular frequency, which you must synchronize the projector to in order to produce a good quality image. If you do not match the phase of the signal, the image may be flickery, faded, or distorted.
