Intelligent Eco and Saver Modes

the brightness level of the screen. Also, automatically changes
the brightness of the lamp if there is no change in the screen
image. Using ImageCare technology, these features give
optimal picture performance with maximum energy savings.
ImageCare Technology
ImageCare is a lamp power control function that combines
optimal picture performance with maximum energy savings
by decreasing energy usage, improving contrast ratio and
lengthening lamp life. The result is a lower total cost of
ownership and decreased maintenance cost.
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.
Projector Quick Connection App For Mobile Devices

the capability to display photos, document files and web site
contents. Available for iPad®, iPhone®and Android devices.

USBWL11N wireless adapter.
Wireless Presentation Compatible
Connect the projector to a a computer or your network using
the optional USB wireless adapter (part number USBWL11N).
The adapter supports IEEE802.11b/g and the latest 11n.
HDCR (High Dynamic Contrast Range)
When average projectors are used in bright rooms, the darker colors of an
image deteriorate and images become unclear. Using this function, blurred
images caused by room lighting or outside light sources are corrected, and
an effect similar to increas
ing contrast occurs. This
results in clear images even
in bright rooms.
HDCR OFF HDCR ON
Accentualizer
Hitachi original technology makes pictures look more real by enhancing
sharpness, gloss and shade to make pictures as clear as pictures on a
flat-panel device. You can also adjust the effects by three levels according
to your surroundings so that the colors of projected images are the actual
colors of the
objects they
represent.
