LIGHT OUTPUT
3000
The color light output spec measures the brightness of red,
green, and blue, which create all the possible spectrum
of colors. Smooth, seamless colors combined with an
unparalleled grayscale range delivers incredible detail to
every image displayed by a Hitachi 3LCD projector.
3,000 lumens of white light output in conjunction with equal
color light output project bright, clear, true to life images in
any classroom or conference room.
360 Advantages: CP-A301N
Featuring an ultra short throw lens which will project
a 80" image at 20" from edge of projector. This not
only prevents shadows caused by obstructions but
also means no shadows and no light shining in the
presenter’s eyes.
Perfect Fit 2 enables the user to adjust individual
corners and sides independent of one another. Perfect
Fit 2 provides vertical and horizontal digital correction
of either barrel or pin cushion distortions. This feature
helps correct geometric and complicated distortions.
Perfect Fit 2 allows the projected image to fit correctly
to the screen quickly and easily.
