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

The DPX-1100 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 latest digital interface provides sharp, detailed images

The DPX-1100 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-1100 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.

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.

Uses the latest DMDTM device HD2+

The projector uses the latest version of the high contrast 720p DMDTM “HD2+”, to reduce
black levels even further and reproduce contrasts close to that of a film.

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.
