Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments’ first DLP™ partner and the original inno-
vator of the 3-chip DLP™ projector, proudly introduces the LIGHTNING 1080p 3D family.
Each new LIGHTNING 3D model employs the latest in dark chip, 3-chip DLP™ technology, 
and include DPI’s exceptional RapidRig™ staging and stacking hardware with integrated 
pitch, roll and yaw adjustments. When considered along with their 10,000\
 - 30,000 ANSI 
lumen brightness and contrast performance up to 4000:1, the LIGHTNING 3D models are 
the perfect imaging solutions for the most demanding large screen immers\
ive applica-
tions, including: military simulation, scientific visualization, medical, chemical and geologi-
cal research, product engineering, commercial cinema and theme park attr\
actions. 
In  addition  to  the  active  3D  capability,  the  LIGHTNING  3D  models  also  include  DP’s  new 
FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware that v\
astly 
reduces the artifacts and image blur typically associated with rapidly m\
oving displayed 
content. The benefits of FastFrame™ are especially important for simulation environments 
such as commercial and military flight training, and other applications \
where maintaining 
the visual integrity of high-speed imagery is vital.
The LIGHTNING 1080p 3D projectors also incorporate DPI’s Hyper-Cooled lamp module, 
one of our CoolTek™ innovations.  Engineered with a proprietary, directio\
nal-flow reflector 
mask and radial heat exchanger, the Hyper-Cooled module dramatically improves projec-
tor thermal characteristics and extends reflector life and lumen mainten\
ance.  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 1080p 3D products include:
•  High Bandwidth input >120Hz active stereoscopic DVI with no need for frame 
  doubling.  This capability extends the dynamic range up to 16 bit for improved
  contrast and color gamut. Both single-pipe and dual-pipe 3D sources are supported.
•  Dual Flash Processing™(DFP) – Supports users wishing to distribute 3D content via   
  more traditional, 60 Hz formats with the option to frame-double their sources within
  the projector, via DFP.  When this option is selected, the input signal,\
 having been  
  processed and if necessary re-sized to map to the native resolution of the projector,   
  will also be frame-doubled to 120 Hz, and the doubled frames interleaved.  This
  produces imagery with the low flicker characteristics of a native 120 Hz source,
  but without the infrastructure costs associated with distributing and sw\
itching
  ultra-high bandwidth signals. 
•  Projector electronics which provide an interface to drive an infrared transmitter to   
  synchronize switching glasses with active displayed frames.  The user can elect
  either to pass through an external synch pulse, or to use the reference \
generated  
  internally by the projector.  Adjustments are provided to accommodate th\
e phase
  and dead time characteristics of different switching glasses.
•  FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware
  that provides user adjustments to vastly reduce the artifacts and image \
blur typically  
  associated with rapidly moving display content.  
•  DP’s NextGen electronics with class leading video de-interlacing. SD and HD
  sources are processed using auto 3:2 and 2:2 extraction.   
•  Minimal video delay from input to screen - as low as 1 frame, depending on source.
•  High bandwidth DVI inputs offer Single, Twin, Dual & Dual Twin DVI connectivity.
•  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 performance with the   
  lowest thermal (BTU) and noise level (dB) output.
•  MultiBlend™  –  an  advanced  soft-edge  capability  for  seamlessly  meshing  arrays  of   
  projectors to create displays with ultra-high resolution or unusual aspe\
ct ratios.
•  Intelligent Lens Mount (ILM) - provides the ability for the user to pr\
ogram up to 10 
distinct  presets  for  lens  zoom,  focus  and  shift.  The  ILM  presets  can  be  assigned  and 
automatically recalled, by source and input.
