"Natural Black" Concept

How a video system

reproduces black and all its gradations is what determines contrast, and generally makes the difference between an image that is merely good and one that is sharp and richly detailed at every level of brightness. In quest of superior contrast performance, Yamaha developed the Natural Black concept, whereby various technologies, parts and functions combine to achieve truer, deeper levels of black than those of conventional home theatre projectors.

Taking Projector Performance to a New Level

The DPX-1200 makes use of a wide range of new technologies to deliver extraordinary video performance. Contrast is an incredible 5,000:1, brightness is 800 ANSI lumens, picture sharpness is outstanding and colour reproduction is stunningly natural.

Seven-Segment Colour Wheel

The DPX-1200 incorporates a seven-segment colour wheel, with an ND filter-equipped green segment, resulting in excellent colour reproduction. The seven-segment structure reduces dither, while colour

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.

Natural Colour Adjustment System

• Colour Balance Control

There are three Colour 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 colours by specifying x and y values for each (yellow, cyan and magenta are derived from the three main colours). The third mode is RGBYCM, which allows each of the six colours to be directly

LPX-510: “Natural Black” and advanced functions for enjoying widescreen movies.

High Performance LCD Panels

The LPX-510 uses LCD panels capable of projecting high resolution 720p HDTV images and 10-bit video processing gives it the ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colours. 16:9 aspect ratio compatibility means that widescreen movies can be viewed in their entirety.

3D Linear Colour Balance

The 3D Linear Colour Balance function maintains the proper balance between the three signals from the LCD panels, adjusting colour irregularities through a range of 15,360 correction points for accurate colour in any type of scene.

• Colour Temperature Adjustment

The correlated colour temperature can be adjusted in 500K increments between 5,000K and 10,000K, for achieving accurate colour fidelity. A graph on the colour temperature menu facilitates this operation. In order to maintain perfect colour balance when the settings are changed, automatic colour balance

Cinema Balance Filter

The LPX-510 introduces a new Cinema Balance Filter that enhances colour reproduction when viewing in a dark room, such as typically used for movies. It is an optical filter so dynamic range is not affected.

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

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.
