Action! model one mk II and mk III home theatre projectors
The Action! series is a dedicated range of home theatre projectors from projectiondesign. The aim is to provide 
the best possible home theatre experience by providing image quality and integration possibilities in small and 
unobtrusive packages – easily fi tting into most modern home theatres. With year long experience in designing 
projectors and display systems, the Action! model one range is the culmination of projectiondesign technology, 
passion and enthusiasm. A team of dedicated enthusiasts bring you the Action! series.
Single chip DLP™ technology - now with HD2+ DC3™ advancement
All Action! projectors use single chip DLP™ (Digital Light Processing™) technology 
from Texas Instruments®. The new model one mk III uses DarkChip3™ technology, 
the latest revision DMD
™  (Digital Micromirror Device) providing even higher contrast 
and better colour saturation than ever before, and surpassers any other microdisplay 
for  home  theatre  use.  DLP™  technology  features  an  unmatched  combination  of 
image  dynamics  and  visual  resolution,  as  well  as  perfect  colour  uniformity.  The 
Action!  model  one  mk  II  uses  the  high  resolution  HD2+  DC2
™  DMD™.    Both  
models  feature  extremely  high  contrast  and  excellent  visual  clarity,  for  the  best 
possible video performance.
High performance optics improve image fi delity 
The  new,  7-segment  colour  wheel  dramatically  improves  colour  fi delity  and  low 
level  resolution.  Darkly  produced  movie  scenes  fi nally  come  to  their  right  with  full 
grey scale reproduction all the way down to the deepest blacks, enabling a much 
higher  visible  colour  resolution  than  ever  before.  Colour  reproduction  is  enhanced 
over  other  projectors  with  an  extremely  large  gamut,  covering  all  colour  spaces 
and video standards. It makes sure that you get deeply saturated and truly natural 
colours. 
Digital Dynamic Concept – unique projectiondesign thinking
One of the most important aspects projectors fail at time and time again is reproducing the wide dynamic contents 
of a movie. From the deepest blacks to the whitest whites, projectiondesign believes in providing both impacting 
black  and  white  levels  at  the  same  time.  This  is  why  we  have  invented  the  Digital  Dynamic  Concept  –  DDC.  By 
allowing  the  user  to  easily  adjust  output  level  through  Dynamic  Black  Level  Adjust,  enabling  Dynamic  Contrast 
enhancement and making available a wide range of gamma curves, projectiondesign enables – for the fi rst time – a 
projector that can be adapted to any size screen with the same impact as the theatre.
High contrast optical Field Lens architecture
Exclusivly using fi eld lens optical architectures in the Action! model one and model zero fi ve provides a much higher 
combination of brightness and contrast than most competing projector designs. By not using a prism in the light 
path, light scatter is prevented to create highly contrasted images, typically double that of competing prism based 
projectors. This ensures highly dynamic images when watching for instance dark or mixed exposure movies.

Computer modelled 3D gamma correction
The eye attempts to perceive colours and video displayed from a projector as if 
they were real life. To get the highest level of colour fi delity, we model the gamma 
transfer curves by computer. By calculating display properties, eye colour- and 
greyscale perception and video format properties in a single equation, we make 
sure the output colour on the screen is a close to real life as possible
High performance video processing
All  Action!  projectors  feature  high  precision  components  and  video  processing 
circuitry. All analogue video inputs feature full 10-bit A/D conversion and processing, 
and video sources are enhanced using the highly acclaimed and patented DCDi™ 
progressive  scan  engine  by  Faroudja®,  with  the  FLI2310  processor.  This  provides 
full fi lm and video mode processing, performs 3:2 and 2:2 pull down, and deploys 
several image enhancing fi lters such as noise reduction and motion detection and 
compensation. For HTPC users, all internal video processing is omitted when utilizing 
either the DVI or VGA input in 1:1 pixel mapping mode (at native r
esolution).
SOA - Sealed Optical Architecture
The  Action!  series  is  delivered  with  a  Sealed  Optical  Architecture,  preventing  dust 
and  smoke  from  entering  and  contaminating  the  core  optical    engine.  A  long  and 
trouble free life of the projector is ensured, with practically no maintenance needs.
All video signal processing is kept on a single printed circuit board. This reduces 
electrical  noise,  keeps  signal  paths  short,  and  introduces  no  loss  or  electrical 
interference  through  the  use  of  connector  cables  between  boards.  Many  high 
end  projectors  use  ver y  high  grade  components  and  boards,  yet  connect  them 
with cheap multi lead cables, acting as antennas and picking up noise. All Action ! 
signal  processing  boards  use  gold  plated  signal  paths  and  connecto rs  for 
optimum connection and purity.
HDMI compatible DVI-D interface with HDCP
Ensuring full compatibility with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Pr otection) 
copy protected sources, such as DVD-players with HDMI or DVI outputs, HD 
set top boxes and digital satellite tuners, the Action! series is equipped with a 
DVI-D input. Supporting very high bandwidth, it accepts input sour ces up to 
fully uncompressed HDTV resolutions. Utilizing the DVI input keeps the signal in 
the digital domain digital at all times, provides a superior image over analogue 
connections in terms of stability, sharpness and colour fi delity, and is totally future 
proof.
Fully decoupled sub chassis
In order to reduce operating noise to a minimum, all moving mechanical parts are fully decoupled from the 
main magnesium chassis. Using a visco-elastic rubber material for optimum shock an d vibration absorption, 
parts’ movement is not interacting with the projector to create unwanted noise and resonances. Much like in 
a car’s motor suspension, this is used to suspend all of the individually controlled fans, as well as the colour 
wheel, which spins at speeds up to 9,000 rpm.
Optimum Light Recovery optical assembly
The Action! series features proprietary Optimum Light Recovery technology, to make sure as much as 
possible of the pristine light from the lamp enters into the optical path, and can reproduce an image as 
dynamic as possible. With proprietary design lenses and optical components, light is collected and formatted 
for optimum usage. This provides the most dynamic projected image available anywhere.
