DLP:
A Technology Everyone Can Benefit From
Projectors based on DLP® technology are cost-effective for
home, office, and school. Although comparably priced to alternative
technologies, DLP technology's picture reliability and performance
consistently outshines them all. DLP projectors are plug-and-play,
user-friendly, and can be setup in minutes. With zero hassle, minimal
maintenance, and whisper-quiet operation, you can focus on your content
and not on your projector.
Finally,
Technology Built To Last (And Last)
Thanks to Texas Instrument's ingenuity, Sharp's XVZ3100 Home Theater
Front Projector is guaranteed an impressive lifespan. The DLP
chip—the brains behind it all—is based on a
semiconductor technology: it's 100% digital, and its millions of
microscopic mirrors deliver a precise, life-like image. Backed by Texas
Instruments' TrueVision Image Processing™ and BrilliantColor
Technology™, the image you get from the XVZ3100 projector is
vibrant and virtually immune to picture degradation, making Sharp's
XVZ3100 DLP projector the obvious choice for long-lasting reliability.
From
The Lab To Your Livingroom
When a DLP chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal,
a light source, and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect a
digital image onto a screen or other surface. How exactly does this
work? A DLP chip's micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable
them to tilt either toward the projector's light source (ON) or away
from it (OFF) — creating a light or dark pixel on the
projection surface. The more often a micromirror is switched on, the
lighter the gray it is. The more often a micromirror is turned off, the
darker the gray it is. Thus images are created by virtue of a series of
light and dark areas. So where does the color come from? Well, I was
just getting to that . . .
Putting
The Color In The Picture
Along with image information, digital video and graphic signals carry
color information. The colors are produced after the white light
generated by the projector lamp passes through the six segment, 5x
color wheel as it travels to the surface (the micromirrors) of the DLP
chip. It's the job of the color wheel to filter the light into red,
green, and blue. It's the job of the DLP projection system to create
the actual color you see based on the color information (i.e.
periwinkle) sent from the signal. And since the DLP system can create
at least 16.7 million colors, expect exceptional color rendition.
The
Difference Is In The Details
It's the Twin Iris System that gives the XVZ3100 its spectacular 6500:1
contrast ratio. What good is contrast ratio, you may ask? A higher
contrast ratio means a greater ability to discern fine, detailed
differences between the darkest and lightest colors. It means getting
the whitest whites and the blackest blacks. It means vibrant images.
Still feel the need to tweak? The XVZ3100 also comes with the Color
Management System (CMS), which allows you to manually adjust the red,
yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta color characteristics.
Getting
Connected
This projector does a spectacular job in getting the most of any signal
you send through it and provides all the best options for getting a
high quality video signal into it. HDMI, component, RGB/component,
composite, and S-Video inputs let you connect popular video sources
like DVD players and VCRs, and the XVZ3100 is HDTV compatible so it can
display HDTV signals including 1080i, 1035i, and 720p. It's compatible
with XGA, SVGA, VGA, and Mac computer monitor connectors, and it even
includes an RS-232 interface.
Filter,
Filter. Who's Got The Filter?
With the Sharp XVZ3100, filters (and buttons) are a thing of the past.
The XVZ3100 comes with sealed optics to prevent dust, dirt, and smoke
from entering the vital optic system. The benefit to you, dear
consumer, is less maintenance and a longer projector life. See, you can
have the best of both worlds.
