The projectiondesign professional series of projectors
include high resolution, high performance products
made and conceived especially for graphically
challenging appllications such as scientific
visualisation, motion simulation, medical imaging, and
public displays.
As our utmost concern is image quality and operational
reliability, all professional series projectors are available
with 24/7 operation warranties, and a wide range
of configuration options to ensure the best possible
application fit and customer satisfaction.
Professional
series
projector F12 series
The F12 is a professional grade DLP® projector that offers a
unique blend of features and benefits in reliability, image quality,
and unbelieveably small size for demanding applications.
Markets and applications
The F12 series is designed with several applications in mind, and it is especially suitable for inclusion in motion
simulators, scientific visualization applications, and applications that require an ultra reliable projector that can handle
rough handling and at the same time provide the ultimate in image quality.

WUXGA resolution relative to 1080p, SXGA+, and XGA.
WUXGA, 1080p, or SXGA+ resolution
The projectiondesign F12 can be configured with both WUXGA, 1080p and SXGA+ resolution for computer or video
centric applications. Where computer based image generation with maximum detail and accuracy is the primary concern,
1920x1200 pixels (WUXGA) is the obvious choice, and fully compatible with the legacy 1600x1200 format. Furthermore,
for video centric applications, the 1920x1080 (1080p) pixel resolution perfectly fits HD video and data. Whether computer
or video, wide screen or legacy 4:3, there is a model with the right resolution available. In fact, with this range of
resolutions, the F12 covers nearly any requirement in virtually any professional AV installation.

overview
DLP technology
– chosen for reliability
The DLP technology from Texas Instruments® is chosen for its unmatched reliability
performance, and its unique coupling with long lasting image quality. With a widely
recognized and proven reliability record, and high brightness and contrast, all whilst
displaying utterly natural colours, it is the obvious choice for heavy duty applications, or
applications that are that run continuously, or are mission critical. Independent testing
has proven DLP technology to be the most reliable of all microdisplays; not degrading
when subjected to UV light, inherent in all projectors. Unlike competing technologies,
showing severe image quality degradation after only a few thousand hours,
DLP technology remains constant over hundreds of thousands of hours.

RealColor colour management
RealColor provides a unique and quick way to calibrate and set up perfect
images for any number of projectors. RealColor can alter imagery by
changing simple characteristics such as the colour temperature of the image – perfectly
along the black body curve, or very complex attributes such as each colour’s relative
saturation and x/y coordiantes. In fact, it is perfect to within 0.002 along all axis of
measurement. RealColor works by mathematically calculating each colour independently.
VIDI™ technology improves grey scale
VIDI™ technology from Philips enables dynamic lamp driving over time, and enhances
image quality. It greatly reduces grey scale artefacts, adds to colour saturation,
enhances contrast, and improves lamp stability. Each projector configuration’s lamp
runs differently from that of others, and ensures a lamp that is specifically tailored
to the application it is used for. Unlike non-VIDI based projectors, the lamp power is
digitally controlled, as is its performance over time.

Low Total Cost of Ownership
Thanks to its robust build and construction, the F12
series requires close to no maintenance and in-life
servicing. There are no user serviceable parts inside,
and it does not have any filters or other parts that
need periodical replacement. That means it does
not require a costly and high frequency maintenance
contract. Typical lamp replacement cost is low*, and
typical lamp life is long. In total, the F12 is a very
cost effective projector over time, resulting in a fully
predictable and very low Total Cost of Ownership.
* When replacing lamps, it is adviced to use only original
parts and accessories, as aftermarket lamps may reduce
performance, and damage the projector.
Low Frequency
Maintenace programme
Our Low Frequency Maintenance programme can be set to automatically notify
of required service and maintenace. When run continuously, moving parts such
as fans and colour wheels require periodic replacement in order to secure and
enable heavy duty continuous operation. With the F12, the duty cycle of any
one component is as long as 8000 hours, meaning a full year’s operation in 24/7
without any maintenance.
Designed for full 24/7 operation
All projectiondesign professional projectors feature full
24/7 operation warranties. That means they are designed
to operate continuously. There is no fine print. Designing
for 24/7 operation requires a lot of attention to detail.
Some technologies are better than others when it comes
to withstand the abuse of time. We use only components
that have predictable behaviours, for instance fans,
colour wheel motors, and electronic components that
are designed by their respective manufacturers to do the
same - withstand time. There are no off-
the-shelf components. That is why we also
closely monitor the creation of every detail,
apply dedicated thermal management,
and use specific materials in all parts of
the process.

Designed for use in
multi-channel systems
With the unique colour matching and calibration tools provided in the RealColor colour
management suite, the F12 series is virtually made for matching of images, edge blending
and multi-channel installations. No matter whether the process is done electronically in
software or by using external hardware solutions. Deep black levels and and a high level of
black and white level uniformity, add to the impressive performance. As a custom option,
projectiondesign also offers industry unique manual optical colour matching.

projectiondesign in-house EMC lab.
In-house component testing and verification.
Every single F12 projector is rigorously tested, and
characterised in-house. We keep test records and
performance statistics for every single unit. Also, as
we put our pride into making great projectors, they are
not passed down an automated production line, but
enjoy the careful management of people at all stages of
their manufacture. That also means we are personally
responsible for all of them. In addition, every single
projector is made to specific order. That means that the
configuration ordered is the configuration built, and only
existing in that particular installation.

In house development and process management
Every single part of the F12 series projectors is developed and verified in-house at projectiondesign. With more than 800
models and variations of projectors in regular manufacture, testing facilities include everything from acoustical analysis
labs, to a full featured FCC Class EMC lab, environmental labs for lifetime and operational testing, as well as our own
optics labs and various test and demo labs.
