DLP technology
– chosen for reliability
The DLP technology from Texas Instruments® is
chosen for its unmatched reliability, and its unique
coupling with long lasting image quality. With a
widely recognised and proven reliability record and
high brightness and contrast, all whilst displaying
utterly natural colours, it is the obvious choice for
heavy duty applications 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
3-chip DLP®
3-chip DLP technology is renowned for producing
formidable on-screen images, as it uses three DMD®
(Digital Micromirrod Device) imagers for strongly saturated
and accurate colours. With lots of brightness from
the 3-chip engine’s high efciency, and many options
for adjusting colour and brightness performance, the
F82 series can be tailored to suit a a vast number of
applications, focusing on large screen video centric
displays and events.
WUXGA, 1080p or SXGA+
resolution
The projectiondesign F82 can be configured with either
WUXGA, 1080p or SXGA+ resolution for computer or
video centric applications. In large auditoriums and with
large screens, where computer imaging with maximum
level of detail is a primary requirement, 1920x1200 pixels
(WUXGA) is the obvious choice and fully compatible with
the legacy 1600x1200 format. Furthermore, for video
centric applications, the 1920x1080 (Full HD 1080p)
pixel resolution perfectly ts high dention video and
data. For editing and video centric applications where
a menu line, or additional information is needed on
screen simultaneously with the unaltered 1080p video
image, WUXGA resolution gives just that. FInally, SXGA+
resolution at 1400 x 1050 pixels is perfect for multi tiled
projection applications in domes or with curved screens,
with minimum amount of overlap and wasted pixels.

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 F82 series features a wide range of custom designed, precision
projection lenses for the best image quality, and the most reliable setups.
Key features include innitely adjustable IRIS and aperture settings,
and motorized zoom, focus and lens shift with profile memories for
use in multiple settings and installations with programmed calibration
and screen congurations. Most importantly, every single lens uses
Low Dispersion (LD) glass and aspherical lens elements for high quality
focusing and sharpness, as well 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 ve options.
Advanced Color Optical Processing
The F82 series projectors feature new and revolutionary projectiondesign
A wide range of lenses, from ultra wide 0.74 : 1 to 6.24 : 1 gives unique flexibility in
installations and placement of product
optics and applications

RealColor™ colour calibration
Each F82 projector is uniquely characterised and calibrated during manufacture. Unique optical performance values are
recorded and matched to the electronic image processing 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. Using our ProNet 2.0 software automates this 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 details such as each colour’s relative saturation and x,y coordiantes. RealColor works by
mathematically calculating each colour independently, in fact, it is perfect to within 0.002 along all axes of measurement.
optical color processing technology. By combining xed and motorised optical
filters for each colour channel, red, green, and blue, the projector can be
optically calibrated with near innite accuracy. It also means that by the ick of
a switch, you can change the projected colour gamut from standard computer
graphics optimised, to comply with for instance REC709 (High Denition
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 gives vastly
superior performance on all important levels.

Colour matching
Like all other projectiondesign professional projectors, the F82 series features numerous possibilities and alternatives for matching of several projectors, so that they all appear
and perform similarly. Actual colour matching is realised through several process steps, including that of hand selecting units that are optically similar. Additionally, colour matching
is realised using extensive features of the RealColor colour management suite, so that every single projector performs absolutely similarly. ProNet 2.0 calibration software suite
automates this process.

DynamicBlack™ for outstanding dynamics
The F82 series features unmatched imaging dynamics amongst large venue
projectors. The unique DynamicBlack functionality automatically adapts to
the input histogram of the image, and adjusts 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 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 F82 series requires very little
maintenance and in-life maintenance. There are no
user serviceable parts, 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. At the same time,
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 low and predictable,
cost of ownership.
* When replacing lamps, it is advised 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 services 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 uninterrupted operation. With the F82, 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 maintenance. Add to that hot
swappable lamps, and you have a projector that simply does not need to be turned off, running either in automatic lamp
relay mode, or even with two lamps at any power setting around the clock.
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.
