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. 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.
• Delivers reduced installation space and increased freedom through a more compact and lightweight body
The use of a 0.69" DLP cinema 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).
• 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 (Refer to “6-9. Related products list” (page 78) for details on the lenses that support the lens
memory function).
(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 8 preset buttons that make it easy to select registered title (input signal). To this projector,
100 titles at most can be registered (input signal registration). Among the registered titles, any 16 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 (DCC) V2.
• Advanced Dust Protection
A dust control shield is arranged between each DMD chip of R, G and B, and the spectroscopic/condenser prism. It prevents
dust and dirt in the air, and oily particles in smoke associated with event halls from coming into contact with the face of the
DMD and causing operating problems.
• Reduced running cost thanks to the use of metal filters
The filters are made of metal, so they can be used repeatedly and do not have to be replaced when performing periodic
cleaning.
This not only reduces running costs, but also contributes to preserving the environment since no spent filters are discarded.
