Amazing Color and White Light Output
The PowerLite Pro Z8250NL and Z8255NL deliver 10,000 lumens 
of color light output and 10,000 lumens of white light output

PowerLite Pro Z8350WNL delivers 8500 lumens of color light 
output and 8500 lumens of white light output

Pro Z8450WUNL and Z8455WUNL deliver 7000 lumens of color 
light output and 7000 lumens of white light output

vibrant, colorful images, even in ambient light. For today’s color-
rich, multimedia content, users want projectors that deliver both 
optimum white and color imagery. That’s why the industry has 
developed a new metric called Color Light Output.

Color Light Output
Always look for Color Light Output when choosing a projector. 
•	
For optimum image quality and performance, the projector you choose  
should offer equal levels of color and white light output
•	 When the two measurements are not identical, images do not look    
balanced. Whites may be brighter, making the colored areas look    
dull and fl at
•	 The combination of color richness (Color Light Output) and brightness \
 
(White Light Output) is as critical as the combination of bass and treble  
would be when purchasing audio equipment
When white light output is greater 
than color light output, images may 
appear duller.
When color and white light output 
are equal or balanced, colors are 
authentic and vibrant.

C2Fine Technology Delivers a Higher Contrast Ratio
C2Fine offers smooth, uniform images with exceptional contrast for better 
image quality. Based on this new phase-compensation technology, light 
leakage is eliminated. And, when combined with auto iris, C
2Fine allows 
for contrast ratios up to 5000:1 using the Pro Z Series projectors.

How is CLO Measured?
The Color Light Output spec measures Red, Green and Blue, each on a 
9-point grid, applying the same method used in the ISO 21118 standard 
for measuring White Light Output. 
Color Light Output 
uses three 9-point grids to measure
the primary colors — red, green and 
blue, applying the same approach 
used to measure White Light Output, 
in lumens.
Brightness (or White Light Output)
measures the total amount of white 
light projected in lumens on a 9-point
grid. It does not measure color.

Enhanced Super-resolution Technology For Sharp, 
Dramatically Rich Images
•	
Makes DVDs and standard and high-definition content come alive  
via its mixed color separation techniques and imaging simulation
•	 Delivers crisp, clear images with super high-quality resolution
•	 Sharpens blurry images that have been enlarged by a general   
upscaling process
State-of-the-art FineFrame Interpolation Processing Technology  
(Z8450WUNL and Z8455WUNL only)
A movie is a series of still frames, shown in quick succession. Traditional movies are shot at 24 frames per second (fps). However, in some cases, fast-moving 
objects may have moved too fast to be captured on film, so they appear to jump from one part of the screen to another. This effect is called motion judder.   
In order to reduce motion judder, Epson has created FineFrame Interpolation Technology, which looks at the frames before and after an action, and creates an 
interpolated frame, halfway between two existing frames. As a result, a smoother motion is perceived by the viewer. 
FineFrame Interpolation is most beneficial when 
viewing content such as action movies and sports 
videos, which are typically shown in high-definition at  
30 fps. In this case, multiple frames are interpolated  
and inserted each second, in order to create a 
more realistic viewing experience.

Improved Video with 3:2, 2:2 and 4:4 Pull-down
Most movies are shot at 24 frames per second and displayed on a 60 Hz (60 
frames per second) device, such as a projector, TV or monitor. This creates a 
problem, since each frame must be repeated 2.5 times to fill the full length of 
an entire second (24 x 2.5 = 60). Showing half a frame creates blurry images, 
so the display industry has come up with the following solutions: 
•	3:2 pull-down: Frames are repeated in a 3, 2, 3, 2 pattern to create a 
smoother movie experience. 
•	 2:2 pull-down: Frames are repeated in a 2, 2, 2, 2 pattern, which is ideal 
for a true movie experience.
•	 4:4 pull-down (Z8450WUNL and Z8455WUNL only): When the projector 
runs at 120 Hz, frames are repeated in a 4, 4, 4, 4 pattern, which ensures 
the best movie experience.
6-axis Color Adjustment
For special projection material such as high-quality photographs or artwork, 
users can adjust the hue, saturation and brightness for six colors, RGBC\
MY 
(Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).

Award-winning Faroudja DCDi Cinema  
for Advanced Video Quality
Faroudja DCDi Cinema is a video enhancement technology, used primarily 
for film viewing, that produces exceptional image quality without introducing 
artifacts. Faroudja developed DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) 
to eliminate jaggy images by using a unique algorithm. This algorithm, i\
n 
combination with the technology’s decoding, deinterlacing and enhancement  
features, won an Emmy Award from the  
National Academy of Television Arts and  
Sciences in 2001.
