Action! model one mk II and mk III home theatre projectors
The Action! series is a dedicated range of home theatre projectors from projectiondesign. The aim is to provide
the best possible home theatre experience by providing image quality and integration possibilities in small and
unobtrusive packages – easily fi tting into most modern home theatres. With year long experience in designing
projectors and display systems, the Action! model one range is the culmination of projectiondesign technology,
passion and enthusiasm. A team of dedicated enthusiasts bring you the Action! series.
Single chip DLP™ technology - now with HD2+ DC3™ advancement
All Action! projectors use single chip DLP™ (Digital Light Processing™) technology
from Texas Instruments®. The new model one mk III uses DarkChip3™ technology,
the latest revision DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device) providing even higher contrast
and better colour saturation than ever before, and surpassers any other microdisplay
for home theatre use. DLP™ technology features an unmatched combination of
image dynamics and visual resolution, as well as perfect colour uniformity. The
Action! model one mk II uses the high resolution HD2+ DC2™ DMD™. Both
models feature extremely high contrast and excellent visual clarity, for the best
possible video performance.
High performance optics improve image fi delity
The new, 7-segment colour wheel dramatically improves colour fi delity and low
level resolution. Darkly produced movie scenes fi nally come to their right with full
grey scale reproduction all the way down to the deepest blacks, enabling a much
higher visible colour resolution than ever before. Colour reproduction is enhanced
over other projectors with an extremely large gamut, covering all colour spaces
and video standards. It makes sure that you get deeply saturated and truly natural
colours.
Digital Dynamic Concept – unique projectiondesign thinking
One of the most important aspects projectors fail at time and time again is reproducing the wide dynamic contents
of a movie. From the deepest blacks to the whitest whites, projectiondesign believes in providing both impacting
black and white levels at the same time. This is why we have invented the Digital Dynamic Concept – DDC. By
allowing the user to easily adjust output level through Dynamic Black Level Adjust, enabling Dynamic Contrast
enhancement and making available a wide range of gamma curves, projectiondesign enables – for the fi rst time – a
projector that can be adapted to any size screen with the same impact as the theatre.
High contrast optical Field Lens architecture
Exclusivly using fi eld lens optical architectures in the Action! model one and model zero fi ve provides a much higher
combination of brightness and contrast than most competing projector designs. By not using a prism in the light
path, light scatter is prevented to create highly contrasted images, typically double that of competing prism based
projectors. This ensures highly dynamic images when watching for instance dark or mixed exposure movies.

Computer modelled 3D gamma correction
The eye attempts to perceive colours and video displayed from a projector as if
they were real life. To get the highest level of colour fi delity, we model the gamma
transfer curves by computer. By calculating display properties, eye colour- and
greyscale perception and video format properties in a single equation, we make
sure the output colour on the screen is a close to real life as possible
High performance video processing
All Action! projectors feature high precision components and video processing
circuitry. All analogue video inputs feature full 10-bit A/D conversion and processing,
and video sources are enhanced using the highly acclaimed and patented DCDi™
progressive scan engine by Faroudja®, with the FLI2310 processor. This provides
full fi lm and video mode processing, performs 3:2 and 2:2 pull down, and deploys
several image enhancing fi lters such as noise reduction and motion detection and
compensation. For HTPC users, all internal video processing is omitted when utilizing
either the DVI or VGA input in 1:1 pixel mapping mode (at native resolution).
SOA - Sealed Optical Architecture
The Action! series is delivered with a Sealed Optical Architecture, preventing dust
and smoke from entering and contaminating the core optical engine. A long and
trouble free life of the projector is ensured, with practically no maintenance needs.
All video signal processing is kept on a single printed circuit board. This reduces
electrical noise, keeps signal paths short, and introduces no loss or electrical
interference through the use of connector cables between boards. Many high
end projectors use very high grade components and boards, yet connect them
with cheap multi lead cables, acting as antennas and picking up noise. All Action!
signal processing boards use gold plated signal paths and connectors for
optimum connection and purity.
HDMI compatible DVI-D interface with HDCP
Ensuring full compatibility with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
copy protected sources, such as DVD-players with HDMI or DVI outputs, HD
set top boxes and digital satellite tuners, the Action! series is equipped with a
DVI-D input. Supporting very high bandwidth, it accepts input sources up to
fully uncompressed HDTV resolutions. Utilizing the DVI input keeps the signal in
the digital domain digital at all times, provides a superior image over analogue
connections in terms of stability, sharpness and colour fi delity, and is totally future
proof.
Fully decoupled sub chassis
In order to reduce operating noise to a minimum, all moving mechanical parts are fully decoupled from the
main magnesium chassis. Using a visco-elastic rubber material for optimum shock and vibration absorption,
parts’ movement is not interacting with the projector to create unwanted noise and resonances. Much like in
a car’s motor suspension, this is used to suspend all of the individually controlled fans, as well as the colour
wheel, which spins at speeds up to 9,000 rpm.
Optimum Light Recovery optical assembly
The Action! series features proprietary Optimum Light Recovery technology, to make sure as much as
possible of the pristine light from the lamp enters into the optical path, and can reproduce an image as
dynamic as possible. With proprietary design lenses and optical components, light is collected and formatted
for optimum usage. This provides the most dynamic projected image available anywhere.
