Video Technologies Deliver Extraordinary Picture Quality.
DPX-110 0
Digital Cinema Projector

With an unmatched combination of the finest video
technologies and superior convenience, the DPX-1100 takes
movie viewing to new heights of enjoyment.
The Yamaha Natural Black Concept
Even though you tend to notice the bright
colors, how a projector reproduces gradations
of black is extremely important. When you
watch a movie, shadows should stand out
from the background, black levels should be
solid even in dark scenes, and blacks should
maintain their depth when the scene
becomes brighter. Yamaha developed the
Natural Black concept, combining advanced
technologies, parts and functions, to achieve
truer, deeper levels of black than ever before.
High Resolution Lens
The DPX-1100 goes beyond the capabilities of
other projectors with the use of a new high
resolution lens that maintains extreme
resolution sensitivity all the way to the edges.
Four anomalous dispersion glass components
ensure negligible levels of chromatic
aberration while maintaining a short focal
point and high zoom magnification.
High Performance
HD2+ DMDTM
Naturally, Yamaha
equipped the DPX-1100
with the latest DMD
Extreme sophistication
results in incredible
clarity and color
device, HD2+, which has narrow mirror gaps
and no center pivot mark, improving contrast
over the previous version. In addition, video
processing is 10-bit from A/D conversion
through to DMD output. magnification.
Seven-Segment Color Wheel
Yamaha debuts the use of a seven-segment
color wheel, with an ND filter-equipped green
segment having been added to the previous
wheel. The seven-segment structure reduces
dither, while color reproduction is excellent,
with greens being more true to life than ever
(achieving the HD monitor “green” standard).
Green resolution is 10-bit, which also
improves the representation of black tones.
Better color balance
contributes to a
30% improvement
of actual brightness
at D65 (the white
reference color
standard), compared
to the previous
Yamaha projector.
Faroudja TruLife Enhancer
The DPX-1100 incorporates
TruLife Enhancer technology
from Faroudja, one of the world’s top
developers of video technology. It ensures
that picture clarity is excellent, with clean,
sharp edges and details.
Color Balance System
The DPX-1100 offers three Color Balance
modes. The first is the Standard mode and
cannot be adjusted. The second is the WRGB
mode, which allows adjustment of the white,
red, green and blue colors by specifying x and
y values for each (yellow, cyan and magenta
are derived from the three main colors).
The third mode is WRGBYCM, which allows
each of the seven colors to be directly specified
by entering x and y coordinates. There are six
memory presets for storing personal
adjustments.
Color Temperature Adjustment
You can adjust the correlated color
temperature in 100K increments between
5,000K and 10,000K, in order to achieve
accurate color fidelity. A graph on the color
temperature menu facilitates this operation.
In order to maintain perfect color balance
when the settings are changed, automatic
color balance calculation and adjustment is
provided.
Yamaha Natural Black makes
subtle degrees of black in
textures, shadows and so on
stand out more clearly.

Latest DMD™ Device HD2+
With other projectors,
black contrast may be soft
and fuzzy rather than
sharp and clear.

Mounting Flexibility
Mounting the DPX-1100 is easy and versatile.
Lens-to-screen distance can be anywhere
from 9 ft. 10 in. to 15 ft. 9 in. (100” screen)
thanks to the powerful 1.6x zoom lens.
Motorized vertical lens shift is ±50% of
projection height , so the projector can be
used at any height between the top and
bottom of the screen. Iris, zoom and focus
adjustments are also motorized.
Six Memory Settings
There are six memory positions each of which
can store different combinations of
parameter settings, depending on the source.
The projector automatically adjusts when the
source is changed, so you do not have to
select a different memory position.
Lamp Power Selector
The multi-step Lamp Power Selector makes it
possible to adjust for optimum brightness
and contrast with different levels of room
lighting and video sources. It can also be used
to extend lamp life (at 80% brightness, lamp
life goes from 2,000 to 2,500 hours).
Extensive Menus Plus Handy
One-Line Menu
The DPX-1100 has an extensive range of menus,
viewable on-screen and managed via the
remote control. There are four main menu
groups (Image, Signal, Initial and Setup), each
offering a wide range of adjustable parameters,
some of which have submenus. In addition, a
one-line menu can be superimposed on the
screen while viewing a movie or other source,
for “fine-tuning” the image as you watch.
Custom Installation Solutions
The DPX-1100 facilitates custom installation
with an RS-232C interface, IR control in/out
ports for using an optional wired connection
to the IR remote control, front and rear IR
sensors and a powerful DC12V, max. 200mA
trigger out with selectable trigger timing.
Silent Operation
The DPX-1100 runs with the quiet efficiency
you expect from a high quality home theater
projector. It uses effective DMD and power
supply ducting, while minimizing cooling fan
operation by continually adjusting it in
accordance with picture brightness.
HDMI Terminal
Most high-end projectors
provide DVI connection, but
the DPX-1100 goes further with an HDMI
connection. HDMI can handle digital signals
like DVI, and a variety of other information as
well, such as component type, scan status
and colorimetry, which can be adjusted.
Full-Function Remote Control
The remote control unit gives you total
control over all of the projector’s functions
and settings. It is designed for easy gripping
and use, and can be pointed at either the
front or the back of the projector, from as far
as 7m (23 feet) away.

Utilizing high resolution LCD technology, the LPX-510
provides excellent image quality with lifelike color, and a
number of features that you’ll find extremely useful.
It is equipped with three high-performance 0.7” 720p liquid
crystal panels and 10-bit gradation control that permits
representation of 1.07 billion colors. Brightness is a high 1,000
ANSI lumens, allowing viewing in relatively bright rooms.
LPX-510
Home Cinema Projector

Film-Like Quality with Yamaha Natural Black
As with the DPX-1100, Yamaha put a great
deal of effort into improving black
reproduction. Our Natural Black design concept
enables the LPX-510 to achieve much deeper
levels of black than conventional projectors.
High Performance LCD Panels, 10-bit
Processing, High Brightness
The LPX-510 uses three TFT Active Matrix LCD
panels capable of projecting high resolution
720p (1,280 x 720-pixel) HDTV images. It also
employs 10-bit video processing, giving it the
ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colors, while
16:9 aspect ratio compatibility means that
widescreen movies can be viewed in their
entirety, with the
correct perspective.
1,000 ANSI lumens
brightness allows the
projector to be used
even in relatively
bright rooms.
3D Linear Color Balance
Ideally, the three signals (R, G, B) from the
three LCD panels should have the same
linearity, but due to various factors, their
linearity continuously varies. The 3D Linear
Color Balance function helps maintain the
proper balance between them, adjusting color
irregularities through a range of 15,360
correction points (640 points x 8 steps x 3
colors) for accurate color in any type of scene
from dark to bright.
Cinema Balance Filter
The LPX-510 introduces a new Cinema
Balance Filter that enhances color
reproduction when viewing in a dark room,
such as typically used for movies. It reduces
the green level (and blue to a lesser degree),
and is an optical filter so dynamic range is
not affected. The filter moves to the on or off
position (motorized operation) according to
the Picture Mode, being on in the Standard,
Cinema, Cinema Black and PC modes.
Lens Shift, Motorized Iris and Zoom
Control
Vertical and horizontal lens shift capability
means that the projector does not have to be
carefully positioned directly in front of the
screen. Maximum range of movement is
100% vertically and 50% horizontally, much
greater than conventional projectors. You can
use the motorized iris control to improve
contrast and focusing, and to give the image
a more three-dimensional feel. The motorized
zoom control will expand the image up to 1.5
times to give you a closer view of the scene
and for projecting a 16:9 picture on a 4:3
screen. Settings can
be adjusted in six
steps (100%—75%)
and stored in the
picture memory.
There are also six
lamp power settings,
so the LPX-510
provides a total of 36
brightness variations.
Extensive Image Control
Six Picture Modes provide a variety of color
and brightness balance settings by adjusting
gamma values, the Cinema Balance Filter and
lamp power to optimize the picture for
varying home theater conditions. The six
modes are Dynamic, Bright, Standard, Cinema,
Cinema Black and PC.
DCDi Processing
Faroudja, one of the world’s
leading video technology
companies, developed the DCDi processing
used in this projector. It ensures smooth and
natural images without staircasing or jaggies.
Menus Put You in Total Control
On-screen menus present a wide range of
parameters that you can select for initial
setup and later adjustment. You can be sure
of achieving the best possible picture for all
conditions.
Lamp Power Selector
The multi-step Lamp Power Selector makes it
possible to adjust for optimum brightness and
contrast with different levels of room lighting and
video sources. Lower power settings will extend
lamp life, reduce power consumption and reduce
cooling fan noise.
Custom Installation Solutions
The DPX-510 facilitates custom installation with a
powerful DC12V, max. 200mA trigger out function.
Other Convenient Functions
• Smart Zoom for projecting 4:3
broadcasts onto a full 16:9 screen with
no distortion in the middle
• Selectable video scan (PC: 100%,
95%; Video: 95%, 92%)
