1-1. Features

• DLPCinema

projector

Complies with the strict projection standards defined by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) industry group in the United States using

leading imaging technology of NEC. It also supports 3D projection and high frame rates (HFR).

• Employsalonglifelaserlightsource

The projector employs a newly developed laser light source offering excellent reliability and redundancy. Since the laser light source

has a long life, this delivers low cost operation by removing the need for maintenance such as replacing and adjusting the light

module over extended periods of time. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of the light source suddenly shutting off and leaving a black

screen.

• Superiordustpreventionabilities

The projector utilizes a circular cooling system when cooling the optical components. It cycles cold air to replace the warm air inside

the interior of the airtight case so open air does not touch the optical components. This protects against the device getting dirty with

dust and dirt, as well as maintains brightness.

*However, it cannot perfectly insulate against dust.

• Deliversreducedinstallationspaceandincreasedfreedomthroughamorecompactandlightweightbody

The use of a 1.38" DC4K chip together with integration of the light module into the projector main unit both delivers a reduced

installation area as well as improving the degree of freedom of installation, such as removing the need to connect to external ventila-

tion ducting and supporting both pedestal-mounted and ceiling-suspended installation. A wide variety of optional lenses (sold sepa-

rately) are also available for the projector in order to support a wide variety of installation methods (a lens is not mounted when the

projector is shipped from the factory).

• Runningcostreductionbyusingametallter

With regular cleaning, the filter can be repeatedly used without replacement.

On top of reducing running costs, we have implemented this eco-friendly feature so there is no need to dispose of used filters.

1. What’s in the Box? and the Names of the Projector Parts

• Equippedwitheasytousefunctions

(1) Lens memory function and light memory function that can be operated with one touch.

The projector is equipped with a lens memory function that can save the zoom position and shift position of the lens and a light

memory function that can save the brightness setting separately for each input signal. This makes it possible to project using

preconfigured settings simply by selecting the signal when projecting multiple different input signals each with different screen

size and brightness settings.

(2) Built-in automatic adjustment function that makes the brightness and color of the light source uniform

Degradation of brightness and variations in color that occur as the light source is used for longer periods of time are kept to a

minimum (the period over which variations in brightness can be limited varies depending on the brightness setting).

(3) Frequently used titles can be registered in preset buttons

The projector has been equipped with 10 preset buttons that make it easy to select registered title (input signal). To this projec-

tor, 100 titles at most can be registered (input signal registration). Among the registered titles, any 20 titles can be assigned to

the preset buttons.

(4) You can operate and configure the projector via a network from a PC

You can operate and configure the projector via a network from a PC by using the separately supplied software Digital Cinema

Communicator v2 (DCCv2).
