    Description, Features 
    and Benefits
    The Planar PD8130/PD8150 has been engineered for the top quality 1080p 
    picture performance and installation flexibility heretofore associated with 
    projectors costing far more.
    The PD8130/PD8150 Full-HD (1920 x 1080) native resolution DLP™ light engine 
    features state-of-the-art technology for bright, pristine, high-definition images at 
    today’s highest available resolution.
    The PD8130/PD8150 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, 
    focus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.85:1 to 2.40:1. For 
    installations requiring shorter throw distances, the PD8130/PD8150 is optionally 
    available with a lens that offers a throw range of 1.56:1 to 1.86:1. 
    The PD8130/PD8150 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science 
    Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Planars 
    sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also 
    been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The 
    PD8130/PD8150 incorporates proprietary de-interlacing technology that 
    provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion for 
    the most artifact-free images possible. 
    Discrete infrared (IR) and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, 
    while discrete power on/off and source selection accommodate any 
    automation control system. 
    Key Features and BenefitsThe PD8130/PD8150 offers these key features and benefits: 
    • Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (16:9 Native Aspect Ratio) 
    • DLP system using high-performance Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)
    • Customized color wheel produces wide dynamic range and rich grayscale
    • DynamicBlack™ provides for infinitely variable adjustment of the light path 
    through the optics, enabling the perfect balance of black and white levels 
    for any type of video source material
    • Picture in Picture function allows you to display two inputs on the screen at 
    the same time
    • Two (2), HDMI 1.3 Inputs with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection 
    (HDCP)
    • HDTV Compatible
    Additional Features of the PD8150: 
    • Greater optical contrast (up to 15,000:1 with DynamicBlack enabled)
    • Horizontal (as well as vertical) lens shift
    • Expanded connectivity (additional component video input and 12-volt 
    trigger output)
