High Resolution Lens
Yamaha has gone beyond the capabilities of other projectors with the use of a new high resolution lens that maintains resolution sensitivity to the edge of the lens. Four anomalous dispersion glass components, up from two in the previous model, result in half the chromatic aberration while maintaining a short focal point and high zoom magnification.
High Performance HD2+ DMD™
The projector is equipped with the latest DMD device, HD2+, which has narrow mirror gaps and no center pivot mark, improving contrast over the previous version. Video processing is 10- bit from A/D conversion through to DMD output.
Seven-Segment Color Wheel
Yamaha debuts the use of a sevensegment color wheel, with an ND filterequipped 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 3/6 (W)
DPX-1100 NEW PRODUCT BULLETIN
(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 (white reference color standard), compared to the previous Yamaha projector.
Faroudja TruLife Enhancer
Picture clarity is excellent, with clean, sharp edges and details ensured by Faroudja’s TruLife Enhancer.
Color Balance System
There are three Color Balance modes. The first is the Standard mode and cannot be adjusted. The second is the RGB mode, which allows adjustment of the 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 RGBYCM, which allows each of the six colors to be directly specified by entering x and y coordinates. There are six memory presets for storing personal adjustments.
Color Temperature Adjustment
The correlated color temperature can be adjusted in 500K increments between 5,000K and 10,000K, for achieving 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/adjustment is provided.
