LIGHTNING WUXGA 3D Pro Series II
Overview
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments’ first DLP™ partner and the original inno-
vator of the 3-chip DLP™ projector, proudly introduces the LIGHTNING WUXGA 3D family.
Each new LIGHTNING 3D model employs the latest in dark chip, 3-chip DLP™ technology,
and include DPI’s exceptional RapidRig™ staging and stacking hardware with integrated
pitch, roll and yaw adjustments. When considered along with their 10,000 - 30,000 ANSI
lumen brightness and contrast performance up to 4000:1, the LIGHTNING 3D models are
the perfect imaging solutions for the most demanding large screen immersive applica-
tions, including: military simulation, scientific visualization, medical, chemical and geologi-
cal research, product engineering, commercial cinema and theme park attractions.
In addition to the active 3D capability, the LIGHTNING 3D models also include DP’s new
FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware that vast-
ly reduces the artifacts and image blur typically associated with rapidly moving displayed
content. The benefits of FastFrame™ are especially important for simulation environments
such as commercial and military flight training, and other applications where maintaining
the visual integrity of high-speed imagery is vital.
The LIGHTNING WUXGA 3D projectors also incorporate DPI’s Hyper-Cooled lamp
module, one of our CoolTek™ innovations. Engineered with a proprietary, directional-
flow reflector mask and radial heat exchanger, the Hyper-Cooled module dramatically
improves projector thermal characteristics and extends reflector life and lumen main-
tenance. In turn, these operating benefits provide a significant reduction to the long-
term cost of ownership, while also enhancing component reliability.
Other key benefits of the LIGHTNING WUXGA 3D products include:
• HighBandwidthinput>120HzactivestereoscopicDVIwithnoneedforframe

contrastandcolorgamut.Bothsingle-pipeanddual-pipe3Dsourcesaresupported.
• DualFlashProcessing™(DFP)–Supportsuserswishingtodistribute3Dcontentvia
more traditional, 60 Hz formats with the option to frame-double their sources
within the projector, via DFP. When this option is selected, the input signal, having
been processed and if necessary re-sized to map to the native resolution of
theprojector,willalsobeframe-doubledto120Hz,andthedoubledframesinter

switching ultra-high bandwidth signals.
• Projectorelectronicswhichprovideaninterfacetodriveaninfraredtransmitterto
synchronize switching glasses with active displayed frames. The user can elect
either to pass through an external synch pulse, or to use the reference generated
internally by the projector. Adjustments are provided to accommodate the phase
and dead time characteristics of different switching glasses.

•MultiBlend™ – an advanced soft-edge capability for seamlessly meshing
arrays of projectors to create displays with ultra-high resolution or unusual
aspect ratios.
• Intelligent Lens Mount (ILM) - provides the ability for the user to program up
to 10 distinct presets for lens zoom, focus and shift. The ILM presets can be
assigned and automatically recalled, by source and input.
