Yamaha  DPX-1200 Projector

Newest Light Engine - 720P DarkChip3™

This DLP chip is Texas Instruments newest and most advanced Digital Micro Mirror Device. As the name implies, it provides deeper blacks and improved contrast in dark areas.

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, result in half the chromatic aberration while maintaining a short focal point and high zoom magnification.

Seven-Segment Color Wheel

The Yamaha DPX-1200 incorporates a seven-segment color wheel, with an ND filter-equipped green segment, resulting in excellent color reproduction. 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.

Faroudja TrueLife Enhancer

Picture clarity is excellent, with clean, sharp edges and details ensured by Faroudja’s TruLife Enhancer.
Natural Color Adjustment System

• Color Balance Control - There are three Color Balance modes. Thefirst is the Standard mode and cannot beadjusted. 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.

• Convenient Memory Functions - There are six memory positions for storing different combinations of parameter settings, and each can be used for two input signals, making a total of 12 memory conditions. The user can store the same parameter combination for DVD and HDTV, for example. The DPX-1200 automatically adjusts when the source is changed, so the user does not have to select a different memory position.

Mounting Flexibility

Mounting the DPX-1200 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.

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).

Silent Operation

The DPX-1200 runs with the quiet efficiency customers 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 Compatibility

Most high-end projectors provide DVI connection, but the DPX-1200 goes further with an HDMI connection. HDMI can handle digital signals like DVI, but a variety of other information as well, such as
component type, scan status and colorimetry, which can be adjusted.

One-Line Menu with Graphical Menu Configuration

The projector provides a one-line menu with a graphical menu configuration that makes operation simple.
Menus Put You in Total Control On-screen menus present a wide range of parameters that you can select forinitial setup and later adjustment. You can be sure of achieving the best possible picture for all conditions.
