“You can’t judge a book by its cover” and “beauty is only skin deep” - Or so it’s been said. Once again, InFocus defies those worn out sayings with a home theater projector combining both style and substance, a stunning fusion of precision-tuned video performance and exceptional visual design: the Play Big IN82.
Whether you’re watching your favorite HD DVD or Blu-ray™ movie or enjoying an HDTV broadcast of the big game, the full-HD 1080p Play Big IN82 will please even the most demanding videophile. In fact, the IN82 is the highest performance single?chip DLP home theater projector in InFocus history.
1080p performance, no compromises. Video purists rejoice!
The sleek, black contours of the Play Big IN82 only hint at the cinematic experience that awaits you. Texas Instruments™ DarkChip3 DLP® technology ensures deep, rich blacks, and bright, pure whites while preserving all of the subtle shades in between. Future-proof HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color™ support can display up to 1.07 billion colors for a perfectly smooth, lifelike picture in which every color nuance is revealed and color band artifacts are non-existent. And with integrated Pixelworks™ DNX™ 10-bit video processing technology, every scene is vibrant and crystal clear, full of natural?looking detail and seamless motion.
InFocus Play Big projectors are legendary for their out-of-the-box fidelity to the video optimized, D6500K color standard, without sacrificing black levels or brightness. The IN82 is no exception, boasting a contrast ratio ranging from 4000:1 (native) up to 12000:1 (iris-enabled) and video op?timized brightness up to 1500 Max ANSI lumens2,
nearly twice as bright as most other home theater projectors are capable of.
Resolution
The Infocus IN82 is InFocus’ first Full-HD 1080p DLP digital home cinema projector. The IN82 utilizes the DarkChip3 DLP® chipset by Texas Instruments™, technology which is unsurpassed in its ability to deliver deep black levels, pure whites, and subtle grayscale details. Also, the native 4000:1 contrast can be boosted to a maximum 12000:1 by activating the onboard iris.
Brightness & Video Performance
The IN82 is bright enough to deliver film-standard, D6500K color accuracy in nearly any theater, even with ambient light or daytime viewing. Producing video optimized brightness up to 1500 Max ANSI lumens this projector is spectacular and offers the flexibility to reduce brightness to improve black level performance in a dedicated home theater without dimming the picture.
Connectivity
The Play Big IN82 is virtually future-proof thanks to onboard HDMI 1.3 inputs with Deep Color™ support. This new HDMI standard can display up to 1.07 billion colors for a smooth picture without color band artifacts. The IN82 also hosts comprehensive connectivity & I/O, including DVI, and PC input, screen triggers, RS232, and an IR repeater input. (Deep Color requires HDMI 1.3 compatible media player & source material.)
Video Processing & Scaling
True video magic projected by the Play Big IN82 is thanks in-part to Pixelworks™ DNX™ 10-bit video processing. This is the same outstanding processing, de-interlacing, and scaling performance as the award-winning InFocus. The IN82 hosts unrivaled built-in scaling support at this price-point for 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for a true Cinemascope/widescreen without an external scaler (requires anamorphic lens, available separately).
Video Settings
InFocus Color Gamut Calibrator and ISF Day & Night presets allow for worry-free optimized performance at all times. Installers can “lock in” these ideal calibration settings for clients?{an excellent value-add opportunity.
