Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural Clarity to
Even the Finest Details
After a two dimensional analysis of the video signal’s frequency in each
scene and extracting information on the distribution of the super-high-,
high-, medium-, and low-frequency image components, the new circuit
optimizes the sharpness of each image portion based on the extracted
information. The resulting images have a more natural, lifelike expression
than those of previous image-processing methods.
Daylight View Premium for Better Color Perception
This function corrects the image quality to project sharp, clear images
even in brightly lit rooms. A luminance sensor measures the ambient
brightness, and a real-time adjustment function optimizes sharpness and
brightness according to the surroundings. This adjustment function also
WORKS TOGETHER WITH THE $ETAIL #LARITY 0ROCESSOR TO ENHANCE THE REALISM
and vividness of projected images. This makes images easier to view and
offers high contrast.

control using the serial terminal.

1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive water, humidity, steam,
or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fire, malfunction, or electric shock.
2. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This
lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.
3. The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please
observe the following precautions:
s.EVER PLACE OBJECTS ON TOP OF THE PROJECTOR WHILE IT IS OPERATING
s-AKE SURE THERE IS AN UNOBSTRUCTED SPACE OF  MM  IN OR MORE AROUND THE

space indicated below between them. These space requirements also apply to installa-
tions where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the other unit is used as
a backup.
s)F THE PROJECTOR IS INSTALLED IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE ENSURE THAT THE PROJECTORS INTAKE AND
exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the
exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake openings.
