INTRODUCTION
Features
•  Newly developed 0.63-inch DMD™ chip provides significantly improved optical efficiency and 
excellent contrast ratio.
•  Newly developed DDR (Double Data Rate) chip eliminates Color Breaking phenomena common 
with previous generation DLP™ projectors.
•  Use of 250W high-output lamp realizes both high color purity and high brightness. Natural 
images made possible by high color reproducibility can be created with high-brightness, pow-
erful expression capabilities.
•  Realizes vivid images using the latest image quality circuitry.
•  New I/P conversion algorithm enhances the performance of the motion detect I/P conversion.
•  Extensive improvements on the jagged edges or slanted lines in moving images.
•  New Edge Up-Scaling
•  As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines, 
even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480I/P can be projected by converting them to 
1024X576 resolution images.
•  New Film Mode Function
•  3:2 pull down enhancement for not only 480I and 576I signals, but HDTV 1080I signals as well.
•  Color Type
•  Color Type that freely adjusts only specific hues of RGBCMY enables easy adjustment of spe-
cific locations of an image without affecting other portions of the image.
•  Use of a DVI/HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and projec-
tion to be performed digitally, resulting in the realization of all-digital projection without any 
data loss due to analog conversion. This also supports the building of home theaters using 
HTPC.
