ProjectionDesign  F80 1080 Projector

True 1080p HD professional projector

Professional imaging take on new dimensions, and become more and more demanding in the reproduction of images. Enter the new F80 from projectiondesign. Filled to the brim with technological advances, it allows you to tweak the image to suit whatever you need it to be. Adjusting colour gamut optically, calibration with RealColor, and with a unprecedented contrast and resolution, it is perfect for the most demanding requirements.

3-chip DLP™ technology

The F80 1080 is Projectiondesign's first three chip DLP™ projector is unlike all others of the breed. Using our own, proprietary optical design, it is dramatically more effective, and gives access to a range of new features not found on seemingly similar projectors. Increased brightness and contrast levels, and introducing ACOP – Advanced Color Optical Processing, it surpasses the configurability, and application fit of most other projectors in the market. A range of four tool-free user replaceable lenses is available to cover any need from 1.00 to 4.00 : 1.

DLP technology– chosen for reliability

The DLP technology from Texas Instruments® is chosen for its unmatched reliability performance, and its unique coupling with long lasting image quality. With a widely recognized and proven reliability record, and high brightness and contrast, all whilst displaying utterly natural colours, it is the obvious choice for heavy duty applications, or applications that are 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.

Precision projection lens optics

Feature a wide range of custom made, precision ground projection lenses for the best quality images, and most secure and reliable setup. Key features include infintely adjustable IRIS and aperture settings, and motorized zoom, focus and shift with memory for use in multiple settings with with programmed calibration. Most importantly, every single lens uses Low Dispersion (LD) aspherical glass elements for high quality focusing and sharpness, as welll as high optical interfield contrast, resulting in very high perceived image quality. The range of lenses span from an an ultra wide angle 0.8 : 1, to a super tele zoom ending at 6.5 : 1.

Advanced Color Optical Processing

The F80 1080 projectors feature a new and revolutionary projectiondesign optical color processing technology. By combining fixed and motorised optical filters for each colour channel, the projector can be optically calibrated with near infinite accuracy. it also means that by the flick of a switch, you can change the projected colour gamut from standard computer graphics optimized, to either REC709 (High Definition programming) or a P3 colour gamut that comply with strict DCI colour specifications.

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 is vastly superior in all aspects.

RealColor colour calibration

Uniquely characterised and calibrated during its manufacture. Unique optical performance values are recorded and matched to the electronics processing in order 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.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Thanks to its complex and robust build and construction, the F80 series requires very little maintenance and in-life servicing. There are no user serviceable parts inside, 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.

Similarly, 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 a very low cost of ownership.

Designed for full 24/7 operation

All 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.
