InFocus Projector In78 Specifications

							
Play Big IN78 
						

							
Building your own home theater is a dream-
come-true for many; everyone else simply 
doesn’t know what they are missing. But you 
know that nothing is better than turning the 
lights down, the volume up and seeing your 
favorite movie or the big game projected in true 
High Definition. InFocus is dedicated to providing 
projectors for these experiences, which is why 
we developed the new Play Big IN78. 
Enhanced by Pixelworks’™ DNX™ video-processing 
technology, it’s worthy of the hype of a Hollywood 
premiere. If the IN78 can do all this for your 
beloved films, just imagine what it could do for 
your other in-home entertainment.
Show & tell, years later. 
The onscreen images projected by the IN78 are 
vivid, deep and undeniably rich. Every moment 
with this projector is an indulgence, a treat and 
something you deserve. Its clean, sleek, low-
profile design adds a subtle sophistication to any 
room, and thanks to it’s black finish your show will 
be distraction-free. The unique swivel base simpli-
fies tabletop setup and can be easily removed for 
ceiling mounting. While we’re confident you’ll tell 
every friend about your new IN78, it’s much nicer 
to show them.
Low-maintenance, what a concept! 
Just because the IN78 is a technical wonder 
doesn’t mean it has to be complicated to use.  
Every menu, feature and onboard technology is 
designed to produce incredible video images with 
great reliability, simple setup and smooth 
installation options.  Here’s how:
 Enjoy setup in a snap with a simple keypad and 
a new, full-featured remote control with patent-
pending flashlight feature, direct source access, 
programmable presets and more.  
 The internal level recognizes when the IN78 
is ceiling-mounted, automatically flipping the 
projected image.  No hassles, no problems, just 
beautiful images for all to enjoy.  
 An icon-based menu allows you to quickly scroll 
and select your settings in your choice of 12 
languages — without interrupting the show.
 ISF Certified Calibration Controls allows for 
professional setup of over 14 individual set-
tings. Best of all, once programmed these 
settings cannot be deleted unless intentionally           
modified.
An easy to use, icon-based menu allows you to quickly scroll and select your  settings.
For the videophile in us all.

The IN78 uses Pixelworks’ DNX video-processing tech-
nology to dramatically improve the quality of video by 
combining multiple enhancement techniques to deliver 
clear, natural-looking standard and high-definition 
images. DNX technology utilizes sophisticated digital 
video processing to deliver a lifelike picture every time. 
Here are a few more of the outstanding features  
ensuring awe-inspiring home entertainment: 
 Native 1280 x 720 resolution creates high-definition 
reality from any HD source.  
  The  720p DarkChip3™ DLP® from Texas Instruments™ 
provides breath-taking depth and picture sharp-
ness, as well as true blacks and whites.
 Thanks to 1000 video-optimized lumens with 3500:1 
calibrated contrast ratio, you’ll get brilliant, dramatic 
SMPTE (cinema-standard) brightness. 
 The advanced six-segment color wheel delivers intense, 
precise colors that rival any movie theater screen.
Your time to shine.
Connecting to your home  entertainment devices is a snap. You’ll be plugged in, powered up and projecting in no time flat.
