Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments’ first DLP® partner and the original innovator of the 3-chip DLP® projector, proudly introduces the LIGHTNING 40-1080p 3D. When considered along with their 20,000 ANSI lumen brightness and contrast performance up to 2000:1, the LIGHTNING 40-1080p 3D model is the perfect imaging solutions for the most demanding large screen immersive applications, including: military simulation, scientific visualization, medical, chemical and geological research, product engineering, commercial cinema and theme park attractions.
In addition to the active 3D capability, the LIGHTNING 40-1080p 3D model also include DP’s new FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware that vastly reduces the artifacts and image blur typically associated with rapidly moving displayed content. The benefits of FastFrame™ are especially important for simulation environments such as commercial and military flight training, and other applications where maintaining the visual integrity of high-speed imagery is vital.
The LIGHTNING 40-1080p 3D projectors also incorporate DPI’s Hyper-Cooled lamp module, one of our CoolTek™ innovations. Engineered with a proprietary, directional-flow reflector mask and radial heat exchanger, the Hyper-Cooled module dramatically improves projector thermal characteristics and extends reflector life and lumen maintenance. In turn, these operating benefits provide a significant reduction to the long-term cost of ownership, while also enhancing component reliability.
Other key benefits of the LIGHTNING 40-1080p 3D products include:
• High Bandwidth input >120Hz active stereoscopic DVI with no need for frame doubling. This capability extends the dynamic range up to 16 bit for improved contrast and color gamut.
• Dual Flash Processing™(DFP) – Supports users wishing to distribute 3D content via more traditional, 60Hz formats with the option to frame-double their sources within the projector, via DFP. When this option is selected, the input signal, having been processed and if necessary re-sized to map to the native resolution of the projector, will also be frame-doubled to 120 Hz, and the doubled frames interleaved. This produces imagery with the low flicker characteristics of a native 120 Hz source, but without the infrastructure costs associated with distributing and switching ultra-high bandwidth signals.
• Projector electronics which provide an interface to drive an infrared transmitter to synchronize switching glasses with active displayed frames. The user can elect either to pass through an external synch pulse, or to use the reference generated internally by the projector. Adjustments are provided to accommodate the phase and dead time characteristics of different switching glasses.
• FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware that provides user adjustments to vastly reduce the artifacts and image blur typically associated with rapidly moving display content.
• DP’s NextGen electronics with class leading video de-interlacing. SD and HD sources are processed using auto 3:2 and 2:2 extraction.
• Minimal video delay from input to screen - as low as 1 frame, depending on source.
• Eight user-selectable inputs including HDCP compliant DVI, plus SD/HD-SDI as standard.
• High bandwidth DVI inputs offer Single, Twin, Dual & Dual Twin DVI connectivity.
• ColorMax calibration capabilities, including enhanced seven-point color correction for broader color space and accurate color alignment.
• DP’s CoolTek™ engineering, which delivers the highest lumen performance with the lowest thermal (BTU) and noise level (dB) output.
