INTRODUCTION

1.1The VX-4c/VX-6c projector is a professional quality DMDTM projector that uses Digital Light ProcessingTM (DLPTM) technology from Texas Instruments to achieve high-brightness multimedia and video projection. The VX-4c/VX-6c is compatible with standard international video formats and can interface with IBMTM-compatible PC, MacintoshTM computers and high-definition (DTV) decoders. The VX-4c/VX-6c is ideal for use in both large and small home theaters; performing exceptionally well in venues with ambient light.

The features of the VX-4c/VX-6c include:

The VHD Ultra Controller for optimum picture quality when using NTSC sources 1280 x 1024 native resolution, with other resolutions fully scaleable

3000 ANSI lumens light output (6000 ANSI VX-6c) Constant height aspect ratio control up to 2.35:1 screens Interchangeable lenses for screen widths up to 500 inches Memory for up to 99 custom “Memory Banks” (source setups) Intuitive on-screen menus or hidden direct control

Modular design for easy servicing.

How The Projector Works?

The VX-4c/VX-6c can accept data/graphics and video input signals for projection on to front or rear flat screens. High brightness is generated by an internal 700W (1200W VX-6c) Xenon arc lamp, then modulated by three DMD (digital micromirror device) panels that provide digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “on” pixels of each panel is reflected, con- verged and then projected to the screen through a single front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.
