Amazing	color	and	white	light	output
The PowerLite 1900 Series delivers true-to-life, vibrant, colorful 
images, even in ambient light. For today’s color-rich, multimedia 
content, users want a projector that delivers both optimum 
white and color imagery. That is why the industry has developed 
a new metric called Color Light Output.

Always	look	for	Color	Light	Output	when

•	 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 flat
•	 The	combination	of	color	richness	(color	light	output)	 and brightness (white light output) is as critical as the

							Full Featured Performance
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 reduce 
jagged images by using a unique algorithm. This algorithm, 
in combination with the 
technology’s decoding, 
deinterlacing and 
enhancement features, 
won an Emmy Award 
from the National 
Academy of Television 
Arts and Sciences.
Advanced color adjustments
For special projection material such as high-quality 
photographs or artwork, users can adjust the hue, saturation 
and brightness for six colors, RGBCMY (Red, Green, Blue, 
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). 
DICOM Simulation Mode3
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) 
is a standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting 
medical imaging information. The projector’s DICOM Simulation 
Mode enables users to reproduce images with an advanced 
grayscale level that simulates DICOM Part 14. This mode is 
ideal for viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, for 
training and educational purposes.
