1080P 16:9 Full HD,High Contrast
Home Entertainment Projector
FULL HIGH-DEFINITION RESOLUTION – 1080p
The PLV-Z3000 unleashes the full 1920 x 1080 high-definition potential
from today’s advanced full HD sources. This means rich, deep and
accurate colors from SANYO’s exclusive TopazReal HD. TopazReal HD
brings together a team of technologies including a variable iris and lamp
reactivity, a 14-bit digital signal processing, real-focus HD lens system, and,
most importantly, a 3D color management system that addresses changes
in color phase and color level to obtain perfect color reproduction. PLV-
Z3000 uses 120Hz super-fast Full HD panel, which can increase
smoothness in videos due to doubled frame rate from 60 frames/second to
120 frames/second using interpolation frame generation technology. The
optimization of deep color from the color management system is supported
via the projector’s two HDMI 1.3 inputs.
LENS MAXIMIZATION OF IMAGE DETAIL
Rated at 1200 lumens, the PLV-Z3000 is capable of an incredible
65,000 : 1 contrast ratio for superlative black levels, even in ambient light.
Plus it has a newly-developed, high-efficiency lens that maximizes image
details for exceptional optical performance.
ADVANCED LENS SHIFT FOR VARIOUS ROOM ENVIRONMENTS
The PLV-Z3000 is outfitted with the industry’s most advanced lens shifting
function. When coupled with the projector’s short throw capability and 2x
zoom, the PLV-3000 can create a large screen image in any size room
and from virtually any location. The lens shifting function allows wide-
range shifting up or down to three screen sizes and left to right to two
screen sizes. The throw design of the PLV-Z3000, which is capable of
projecting a 100-inch diagonal image from 10 to 20 feet away, makes it
extremely suitable for small to mid-size home theaters.
VIRTUALLY SILENT FAN DESIGN
A 1200 lumen projector generates a tremendous amount of heat and
requires a high quality fan to ensure proper operation. At this level of
brightness, the fan is ‘on’ most of the time and the noise can be extremely
loud and disruptive, especially in smaller home theaters where the
projector and the audience are in the same vicinity. To promote greater
enjoyment of the film and to reduce noise levels during quiet passages of
a film, the PLV-Z3000 is equipped with the industry’s quietest fan, a large
aperture, low noise Sirocco cooling fan that never rises above 19dB in the
economy mode.
