UNIQUE FEATURES
DICOM® Simulation ModeThe DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Simulation \
Mode projects 
grayscale images which approximate DICOM Part 14 specications. This mode is ideal for 
viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, for training and educa\
tional purposes.
The projectors have a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communi- 
cations in Medicine) Simulation Mode. This mode simulates  
the DICOM standard, which is a standard applicable to digital  
communications in medicine, and is useful for displaying medi- 
cal images such as X-rays. These projectors are not medical 
devices and are not compliant with the DICOM standard, and 
neither the projector nor the DICOM Simulation Mode should be 
used for medical diagnosis. Comparison photos are simulations.
AccentualizerDukane original technology makes pictures look more real by enhancing sharpness, gloss and 
shade to make pictures as clear as pictures on a at-panel device. You can also adjust the 
effects by three levels according to your surroundings so that the colors of projected images  
are the actual colors of the  
objects they represent. SharpnessGlossShade
Picture by Picture and Picture in PictureImages from two input signals at the  
same time. Picture by Picture (P by P)  
enables you to compare two images  
side by side. Picture in Picture (P in P)  
enables you to display one image  
within another image. These functions  
are handy when you need to compare 
two sets of data or other material.
Mulitple Lens OptionsProjectors achieve a brightness of the highest class in the industry by ad\
opting a short arc 
length lamp with a small F-number lens. There are a variety of lenses to use for this projector, all  providing specied projector brightness! In 
addition to the one ML703 middle throw 
standard lens, four optional lenses are 
available: FL701 xed, SL702 short throw, 
LL704 long throw and UL705 ultra-long 
throw.
HDCR (High Dynamic Contrast Range)When average projectors are used in bright rooms, the darker colors of an image deteriorate 
and images become unclear. Using this function, blurred images caused by room lighting or 
outside light sources are corrected, and  
an effect similar to increasing contrast  
occurs. This results in clear images even in  
bright rooms.
