							FULLY DIGITALLY DRIVEN 3-PANEL 1920 x 1080p LCOSThe Anthem LTX 500v boasts a Native Contrast Ratio of 50,000:1, the
highest available. With a Native Contrast Ratio of 30,000:1, the Anthem
LTX 300v is more than capable when it comes to simultaneously
displaying the complete range of image contrast.
Many manufacturers still employ the dynamic iris 
(see left)
in projector
design, artificially boosting peak values (resulting in lighter blacks) and
darkening black levels (darkening peak values). In LTX projectors, the
fully digitally driven 3-panel LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) engine
delivers peak whites and deep blacks on the same picture field, without
resorting to artificial means. Contrast is sharper and more vivid and color
reproduction is extremely natural.
Liquid Crystal on Silicon is a superb choice for home theater projectors
because of its inherent ability to display smaller pixels in closer association,
eliminating annoying visual artifacts like ‘screen door’ effects. Unlike many
projectors on the market, there is no color wheel or color dithering in
Anthem projectors and no color rainbow effect, common on single-panel
designs. Even on close ups, the picture is richer and smoother. 
The LTX’s LCOS engine also employs three individual 0.7-inch color
light panels (Red, Green and Blue) to deliver color light to the screen
simultaneously and flicker free. 
Highly efficient lamps in LTX projectors — a brightness of 900 lumens in
the LTX 500v and 1,000 lumens in the LTX 300v — offer the brightest,
smoothest, highest-resolution picture available. 
2x ZOOM ALL-GLASS LENS WITH MOTORIZED FOCUS 
AND AUTO DUST COVERSuitable for 60 to 200 (diagonal) screen sizes.
The 2x zoom lens with motorized focus (controlled from the remote) makes
setup and adjustment easy and convenient. 
The large-diameter high-precision glass lens system features 17 separate
elements in 15 groups, including 2 extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses
to project a full and extraordinarily deep HD image. The high-precision
lens also helps minimize color error — no unwanted ‘fringes’ of color
or color bleeding are visible to mar the boundaries between dark and
bright sections of the image. Finally …
Multi-step fixed-aperture brightness controls (sixteen-step in the LTX 500v
and three-step in the LTX 300v) eliminate light leakage as well as allowingfor brightness adjustment to match personal preferences or ambient
light
levels.
The motorized lens cover opens and closes with power ON/OFF, preventing
dust and dirt from entering the lens. This is a particularly helpful feature
if the projector is to be mounted to the ceiling.
Motorized lens cover: open and closed
CUSTOMIZED ON-SCREEN GAMMA CONTROL  Adjust as you watch! Using the remote, the user is able to manually adjust
the gamma curve to suit individual preferences or the room’s ambient
lighting using the on-screen display. Essentially altering luminance levels
‘on the fly’, the user can increase the contrast or the brightness levels.
Up to three settings can be adjusted and saved for future use.

SUPERB GRAY SCALE REPRODUCTIONTo reproduce a more realistic image, gray scale can be adjusted manually
and the changes observed immediately via the on-screen gamma curve
graph. Dark areas can be raised and detail enhanced in bright white
areas. Color reproduction can be easily adjusted to suit personal tastes
since the three colors (R,G and B) can be individually adjusted using the
on-screen display.
NEW! ISF CERTIFICATION — LTX 500vThe Imaging Science Foundationis a pioneer and leader in improving
home theater image quality through standardized color calibration. The
new LTX 500v boasts ISF ccc certification enabling ISF-trained dealers to
professionally calibrate the projector to ensure the most accurate and
lifelike film and video content. All that is left for the end user to do is
select ISF-standardized Day or Night Mode. Why two modes? A/V
equipment is often installed in rooms that lack professional light control.
The dual option accommodates the two types of lighting. ISF calibration
will not affect the projector’s other picture modes.NEW! DOUBLE-SPEED 120-Hz CLEAR MOTION DRIVE
TECHNOLOGY (both models)Not only does Clear Motion Drive technology result in a smoother, more
fluid, ‘ghost-free’ picture by creating a 120-frames-per-second signal
from a 50 fps signal. These added ‘in-between’ frames take nothing
away from the original experience but create a smoother (horizontally and
vertically) artifact-free experience. New screen adjustment mode options
optimize both models for use with a number of different screen types(see chart at left)

							EXCEPTIONAL RENDITION OF COLORColor management in LTX projectors inserts colors individually in three
separate axes of color phase, chroma saturation and brightness to ensure
best possible color reproduction. The LTX 500v interpolates colors
individually by R,G,B,C,Y or M. Custom color setup can be done via the
on-screen menu with the ability to save up to three customized color
settings for future use.
DUAL-FUNCTION 12-VOLT TRIGGER— LTX 500vAllows the user to move the projection screen up or down, or open and
close curtains, while power to the projector unit is turned off. A secondary
trigger function can be menu-activated to control an optional motorized
anamorphic lens in concert with the True-Fit
™wide screen mode so that
movies in a 2.4:1 aspect ratio can be seen in their gloriously full width. 
ILLUMINATED REMOTE CONTROLAll buttons on the remote light up when you push the light button, making
it easy to operate in the room when the lights are turned off.
TRUE-FIT
TMWIDE SCREEN MODE 
Wide ‘cinema style’ image capability! Movies with a 2.4:1 aspect ratio
can be seen in their gloriously full width (using all 1920 x 1080 pixels)
and without letterbox bands or a compromise in image quality. The three
LCOS panels ensure the expanded vertical image is perfectly adjusted for
brightness and sharpness. The use of an optional anamorphic lens
can stretch the image to fit its full extra-wide aspect ratio … all the
while preserving image integrity.

USER-REPLACEABLE LAMPNEW! Lamp-life cycle: 3,000 hours (both models).Replacement is from the side … quick and easy!1/2 price coupon for replacement lamp included.INSANELY FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION IN SO MANY WAYS …All connections are on the side panel … even if you can’t position the
projector on the ceiling, you can install it directly against the back wall
without worrying about leaving room for plugs and wires. In addition to 2 HDMI inputs, inputs also include 1 S-Video, 1 Composite
and 1 Component Y-Pb-Pr (RCA) Video. The LTX 500v with its customizable trigger system accommodates
optional add-on motorized anamorphic lens systems to use the full
resolution of the display for viewing 2.4:1 movies.
ULTRA-EFFICIENT FAN!Operating in normal mode, the ultra-quiet 19 dB fan noise will register
in the room as less than a soft whisper. Air inlet is at the front and exhaust
vent at the side.✓
DUAL HDMI INTERFACESTwo 1080p HDMI v1.3 (Deep Color) digital interfaces; CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) compatible. 
ELECTRONIC LENS SHIFTAnthem’s LTX projectors are designed for easy installation. The motorized
Lens Shift option (accessible using the remote) allows the user to move the
lens horizontally or vertically within the projector housing to accommodate
installation in even the most challenging situations.
The ±80% Vertical Shift option allows the projector to be mounted above
the screen, without having to invert it 
(see left)
. The ±34% Horizontal
Shift offers additional flexibility in a wide range of situations 
(also, see left)
.
And all of this shifting happens without a hint of image compression or
image conversion to adversely affect edge pixels. 
If the lens must be positioned outside the coverage area, a Digital Keystone
feature, which offers a ±30% vertical and ±40% horizontal adjustment,
removes distortion, helping to make the images appear more natural.
