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.
overview
Three chip DLP
Three chip DLP technology is renowned for producing
formidable on-screen images, and combines the DLP
reliability and accuracy for even better colours . With
a wealth of brightness from the 3-chip engine’s high
efficiency, and many options for accurately adjusting
colour and brightness performance, the F80 series can be
tailored to suit a a vast number of of applications, focusing
on large screen video centric displays and events.
WUXGA or 1080p resolution
The projectiondesign F80 can be configured with either
WUXGA or 1080p resolution for computer or video centric
applications. In large auditoriums and with large screens,
where computer imaging with maximum detail 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 high defintion video and data. Additionally,
for editing and video centric applications where a menu
line, or additional inforamtion is needed on screen
simultaneously with the unaltered 1080p video image,
WUXGA resolution gives just that.

California Academy of Sciences, California, USA.
The California Academy of Sciences in San Fransisco, USA, uses more than 30 projectiondesign projectors in various configurations.
Precision projection lenses
The F80 series features a wide range of custom designed, precision
ground projection lenses for the best quality imaging, and the most
secure and reliable setup. Key features include infintely adjustable IRIS
and aperture settings, and motorized zoom, focus and lens shift with
memory for use in multiple settings and installations with programmed
calibration and screen setups. Most importantly, every single lens uses
Low Dispersion (LD) aspherical glass and aspherical lens elements for
high quality focusing and sharpness, as welll as high optical interfield
contrast, resulting in very high image quality. Unlike many competing
projector ranges, the lenses are designed and made with high resolution
in mind, not taking standard, off the shelf lenses for use in higher
performance applications. The range of lenses span from an an ultra
wide angle 0.74 : 1, to a long tele zoom at 6.24 : 1, and comprises five
lenses.
A wide range of lenses, from ultra wide 0.74 : 1 to 6.24 : 1 gives unique flexibility in
installations and placement of product.
applications and features

RealColor colour calibration
Each F80 projector is uniquely characterised and calibrated during its manufacture. Unique optical performance values
are recorded and matched to the electronics processing in order to secure perfect on-site calibration. With RealColor, it is
possible to match any number of projectors, and ensure they all project the same primaries and grey scale, without going
through a very complicated process.
What RealColor gives
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 things such as each colour’s relative saturation and x/y coordiantes. In fact, it is perfect
to within 0.002 along all axes of measurement. RealColor works by mathematically calculating each colour independently.
Advanced Color Optical Processing
The F80 series projectors feature new and revolutionary projectiondesign
optical color processing technology. By combining fixed and motorised
optical filters for each colour channel, the projector can be optically calibrated
with near infinite accuracy. It also means that by the flick of a switch, you
can change the projected colour gamut from standard computer graphics
optimized, to comply with for instance REC709 (High Definition programming)
All this without any loss of bit depth, as the compensation is purely optical, and
not electronic. Unlike competing projectors, where colour calibration is based
upon a simple yellow notch filter to change the green point of the picture, or
simply by changing electronic values, ACOP is vastly superior in all aspects.

Colour matching
Like all other projectiondesign professional projectors, the F80 series features numerous possibilities and alternatives for matching of several projectors, so that they all appear
and perform similarly. Actual colour matching is realized through several process steps, including that of hand selecting units that are very closely performing optically. Additionally,
colour matching is realized using extensive features of the RealColor colour management suite, so that every single projector performs absolutely similarly.

DynamicBlack™ for outstanding dynamics
The F80 series features unmatched dynamics amongst large venue
projectors. The unique DynamicBlack™ functionality can automatically
adapt to the input histogram of the signal, and ajdust so that image output
contrast is maximised at any one point in time. This creates much more
dynamic imaging, and a more involving experience. If the DynamicBlack™
functionality is not desired, the user can manually adjust IRIS and settings to
match a constant, desired output level, with constrast up to 15 000 : 1, and
brightness levels to match that of the desired screen size requirement.
DynamicBlack™ automatically adjusts output to the input signal, and maximises available contrast in the
image. The result is unmatched dynamic performance.

Low Total Cost of Ownership
Thanks to its complex and robust build and
construction, the F80 series requires very little
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. Similarly,
and compared to similarly performing Xenon high
power lamps, lamp replacement cost is low*, and
typical lamp life is long. In total, a very cost effective
projector over time, resulting in a very low cost of
ownership.
* When replacing lamps, it is adviced to use only original
parts and accessories, as non original aftermarket lamps
may reduce performance, damage the projector, and void
warranties.
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, and continuous operation. With the F80, the shortest duty cycle of any one component – run
in full power mode, is as long as 8000 hours, meaning a full year’s operation in 24/7 without any maintenance. Add hot
svwappable lamps to that, and you have a projector simply does not need to be turned off.
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.

Every single F32 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.
