Digital  Projection  International  (DPI),  Texas  Instruments’  first  DLP™  partner  and  the 
original  innovator  of  the  3-chip  DLP™  projector,  proudly  introduces  the  flagship  of  our 
Reference Series displays, the  LIGHTNING Reference 1080p-40 3D.
Based  on  the  same  rugged,  mechanically  capable  chassis  as  our  highly  acclaimed 
LIGHTNING  Pro-Series  II  commercial  products,  the  new  LIGHTNING  Reference 
1080p-40  3D  employs  the  latest  in  Texas  Instruments’  Dark  Chip  1080p  DLP
TM 
technology,  and  is  equipped  with  DPI’s  newest  imaging  innovations,  including  our 
exclusive  ColorMax
TM  calibration  system,  rendering  deeply  saturated,  color-accurate 
imagery which is simultaneously true to life and powerfully immersive.  When consid-
ered along with the 8000-14000 ANSI lumen brightness and astounding 5000:1 con-
trast  performance,  the  LIGHTNING  Reference  1080p-40  3D  represents  the  absolute 
ultimate  in  large-scale  home  entertainment  displays  –  suitable  for  nearly  any  venue 
and any screen size.   
In  addition  to  the  active  3D  capability,  the  LIGHTNING  Reference  1080p-40  3D  also 
includes  DP’s  new  FastFrame™  technology,  a  revolutionary  combination  of  hardware 
and  firmware  that  vastly  reduces  the  artifacts  and  image  blur  typically  associated  with 
rapidly moving displayed content. The benefits of  FastFrame™ are especially important 
for high-speed sports and action footage where maintaining the visual integrity of high-
speed imagery is vital.
The  LIGHTNING  Reference  1080p-40  3D  projector  also  incorporates  DPI’s  Hyper-
Cooled lamp module, one of our CoolTek™ innovations.  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 Reference 1080p-40 3D 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.
•  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 switching
  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 the 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.
•  Eight user-selectable inputs including HDCP compliant DVI, plus SD/HD-SDI as standard. 
•   High bandwidth DVI inputs offer Single, Twin, Dual & Dual Twin DVI connectivity.
The  LIGHTNING  Reference  1080p-40  3D  –  the  most  powerful  and  intensely  accurate 
immersive  3D  display  system,  exclusively  for  exceptional  large  scale  imaging.    The 
LIGHTNING  Reference  3D  display  the  precision  of  Digital  Projection  to  your  legend-
ary home venue.
