Adjust 7 colors independently (including white), or use the
automatic color balance function
The DPX-1300 allows you to adjust the 7-axis WRGBYCM color coordinate and gain
parameters directly. For better consistency, you can also control color temperature and RGB
balance together, allowing you to check that the changes you make are always consistent with
your preferences.
The digital interface provides sharp, detailed images
The DPX-1300 is equipped with an HDMI terminal, which is set to become the standard for the
coming generation of products. Connect to a DVD player or set-top box with a HDMI terminal
to receive digital image data directly, and enjoy completely digitally processed images.
Compatible with the content protection function of HDCP.
Intelligent memory functions
The DPX-1300 can store six image memory settings, called memory numbers, for each input
jack. For each memory number, you can set parameters for different input resolutions, and the
unit will switch to the appropriate parameters when it begins displaying an image of an
appropriate resolution. For example, the unit automatically changes display settings without
changing memory numbers when you change from watching a DVD to watching a HDTV
image for which you have set different image menu item parameters.
In-line menus for image adjustment
You can access image adjustment menu items at the touch of a button, and adjust images while
viewing them without opening the menu screen.
Highly configurable electronic adjustment gives you the
freedom to place the projector wherever you want
A short focal length, high power zoom, and fully vertically adjustable lens allow you to use the
projector in a wide range of environments. You can also use the remote control to access many
lens functions such as focus, zoom, and lens shift to fine-tune the projector from your viewing
position.
Uses the DMDTM device 720p DarkChip3TM
The projector uses the high contrast “720p DarkChip3TM”, to reduce black levels even further
and reproduce contrasts close to that of a film.
