Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments'
first DLP™ partner and the original innovator of the 3-chip
DLP™ projector, proudly introduces the LIGHTNING 30-
1080p and LIGHTNING 40-1080p.   Based on the same
rugged, mechanically capable chassis as the LIGHTNING
35HD, these new Pro Series II projectors employ the lat-
est in dark metal, 3-chip DLP™ technology, and include
DPI's exceptional RapidRig™ staging and stacking hard-
ware with integrated pitch, roll and yaw adjustments.
When considered along with their 15,000-20,000 ANSI
lumen brightness and 2000:1 contrast performance, the
30-1080p and 40-1080p are ideally suited for the most
challenging staging and large-venue permanent installa-
tions in the world.
The LIGHTNING 1080p projectors also incorporate DPI's
Hyper-Cooled lamp module, one of our CoolTek innova-
tions.  Engineered with a proprietary, directional-flow
reflector mask and radial heat exchanger, the Hyper-
Cooled module dramatically improves projector thermal
characteristics and extends reflector life and lumen
maintenance.  In turn, these operating benefits provide a
significant reduction to the long-term cost of ownership,
while also enhancing component reliability.  
Other key benefits of the LIGHTNING 30-1080p and
LIGHTNING 40-1080p include:
• DP’s NextGen electronics with class leading video de-interlacing.
SD and HD sources are processed using auto 3:2 and 2:2 extrac-
tion   
• Minimal video delay from input to screen - as low as 1 frame,
depending on source 
• Sealed optics to protect DMD's and other focal plane compo-
nents from airborne contaminants 
• Six user-selectable inputs including HDCP compliant DVI 
• ColorMax calibration capabilities, including enhanced seven-
point color correction for broader color space and accurate color
alignment
• DP’s CoolTek engineering, which delivers the highest lumen per-
formance with the lowest thermal (BTU) and noise level (dB) out-
put
• A range of precision optics with extended lens shif t, compatible
with all TITAN and LIGHTNING sx+ and 1080p models 
The LIGHTNING 30-1080p and 40-1080p Pro Series II
projectors - ultra-powerful display systems for major
events and applications - bringing the precision of Digital
Projection to every venue.
