“d-cinema” is the slogan of Yamaha A/V products and technology, reflecting our focus on digital technology and our leadership in creating and refining digital home theater. 
						

							Yamaha Natural Black Concept
How a video system reproduces black
and all its gradations is what determines
contrast, and generally makes the
difference between an image that is
merely good and one that is sharp and
richly detailed at every level of
brightness. In quest of superior contrast
performance, Yamaha developed the
Natural Black concept, whereby various
technologies, parts and functions
combine to achieve truer, deeper levels
of black than those of conventional
home theater projectors.Taking Projector Performance to a
New Level
The DPX-1100 makes use of a wide
range of new technologies to deliver
extraordinary video performance.
Contrast is an incredible 4,000:1,
brightness is 800 ANSI lumens, picture
sharpness is outstanding and color
reproduction is stunningly natural.
High Resolution Lens
Yamaha has gone beyond the
capabilities of other projectors with the
use of a new high resolution lens that
maintains resolution sensitivity to the
edge of the lens. Four anomalous
dispersion glass components, up from
two in the previous model, result in half
the chromatic aberration while
maintaining a short focal point and
high zoom magnification.

DPX-1100Digital Cinema Projector
With other projectors,
black contrast may be soft
and fuzzy rather than
sharp and clear. Yamaha Natural Black makes
subtle degrees of black in
textures, shadows and so on
stand out more clearly. 
						

							High Performance HD2+ DMD™
The projector is equipped with the
latest DMD device, HD2+, which has
narrow mirror
gaps and no
center pivot mark,
improving contrast
over the previous
version. Video
processing is 10-
bit from A/D
conversion
through to DMD output. 
Seven-Segment Color Wheel
Yamaha debuts the use of a seven-
segment color wheel, with an ND filter-
equipped green segment having been
added to the previous wheel. The
seven-segment
structure reduces
dither, while color
reproduction is
excellent, with
greens being
more true to life
than ever

(achieving the HD monitor “green”
standard). Green resolution is 10-bit,
which also improves the representation
of black tones. Better color balance
contributes to a 30% improvement of
actual brightness at D65 (white
reference color standard), compared to
the previous Yamaha projector.
Faroudja TruLife  Enhancer
Picture clarity is excellent, with clean,
sharp edges and
details ensured by
Faroudja’s TruLife
Enhancer.
Color Balance System
There are three Color Balance modes.
The first is the Standard mode and
cannot be adjusted. The second is the
RGB mode, which allows adjustment of
the red, green and blue colors by
specifying x and y values for each
(yellow, cyan and magenta are derived
from the three main colors). The third
mode is RGBYCM, which allows each
of the six colors to be directly specifiedby entering x and y coordinates. There
are six memory presets for storing
personal adjustments.
Color Temperature  Adjustment
The correlated color temperature can
be adjusted in 500K increments
between 5,000K and 10,000K, for
achieving accurate color fidelity. A
graph on the color temperature menu
facilitates this operation. In order to
maintain perfect color balance when
the settings are changed, automatic
color balance calculation/adjustment is
provided.

Mounting Flexibility
Mounting the DPX-1100 is easy and
versatile. Lens-to-screen distance can
be anywhere from 9 ft. 10 in. to 15 ft. 9
in. (100” screen) thanks to the powerful
1.6x zoom lens. Motorized vertical lens
shift is ±50% of projection height , so
the projector can be used at any
height between the top and bottom of
the screen. Iris, zoom and focus
adjustments are also motorized.
Silent Operation
The DPX-1100 runs with the quiet
efficiency customers expect from a
high quality home theater projector. It
uses effective DMD and power supply
ducting, while minimizing cooling fan
operation by continually adjusting it in
accordance with picture brightness.
Lamp Power Selector
The multi-step Lamp Power Selector
makes it possible to adjust for optimum
brightness and contrast with different
levels of room lighting and videosources. It can also be used to extend
lamp life (at 80% brightness, lamp life
goes from 2,000 to 2,500 hours).
Easy to Operate
The projector provides a one-line menu
with a graphical menu configuration
that makes operation simple.
Six User Preset Memories
There are six memory positions for
storing different combinations of
parameter settings, and each can be
used for two input signals, making a
total of 12 memory conditions. The
user can store the same parameter
combination for DVD and HDTV, for
example. The DPX-1100 automatically
adjusts when the source is changed,
so the user does not have to select a
different memory position.
HDMI Terminal
Most high-end projectors provide DVI
connection, but the DPX-1100 goes
further with an HDMI connection. HDMIcan handle digital signals like DVI, but
a variety of other information as well,
such as component type, scan status
and colorimetry, which can be
adjusted.
One-Line Menu with Graphical Menu

Menus Put You in Total Control
On-screen menus present a wide
range of parameters that you can
select forinitial setup and later
adjustment. You can be sure of
achieving the best possible picture for
all conditions.
Full-Function Remote Control
All settings,
adjustments and lens
operations can be
performed by remote
control. The unit is
equipped with
backlighting that turns
on for 10 seconds
each time you touch a
button. It is
comfortable to hold
and operate, with
often used buttons the
most accessible.
