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.
TM
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.

Checking installation and connections

Pre-operation check

Prior to projection, adjust settings to suit the location of the main unit and screen, and the input signal you are using. However, there is usually no need to adjust any settings if you have not changed the installation location or components since the last time you used this unit. Check settings and connections only when the unit does not appear to project images correctly.
Prior to projection, check that the main unit and screen are correctly installed, and that source components are connected correctly.
