Introduction

The McIntosh MDLP2 Video Projector is one of the finest projectors ever created. It utilizes the latest Digital Micro- mirror DeviceTM containing over 2 million individual pixels (1080p) and produces images of such high quality, it’s just like being there.

Performance Features

•DLP Chip

The McIntosh MDLP2 Video Projector incorporates the latest and largest available Digital Light Processing (DLP) Dark Chip for use in a Home Theater Projector. The large chip size is 0.95 inch and produces a High Definition Im- age of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

• Advanced Optical System

The light source for the projector is the industry’s only 200 Watt DC Super High Pressure lamp assembly. This as- sures an image with even illumination, focused from edge to edge and accurate fully saturated colors. The light is filtered by a large 98mm 7-segment color wheel incorpo- rating a Neutral Density Filter Segment for enhanced black levels during dark scenes. After the light is reflected by the DLP Chip, it is then precisely focused by a Konica-Minolta custom designed zoom lens. This lens is fully sealed and consists of 13 all-glass elements. The optics allow for screen sizes with 16:9 wide aspect ratio ranging from 70 to 250 inches for the Medium Throw Lens or 80 to 300 inches for the Long Throw Lens.

• Dual Iris

The MDLP2 incoporates an adjustable Dual Iris Optical Light Path. This provides images with bright vivid color and high contrast ratios.

• Advanced Filter Wheel Design

The color filter wheel spins at 10,800 RPM, making color breakup (rainbow effect) a thing of the past, along with three user speeds settings. The quiet filter wheel motor uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing for silent and reliable opera- tion.

• Placement Compensation

The MDLP2 Projector incorporates numerous adjustments, compensating for less then ideal projector/screen position- ing.

• Enhanced Video Processing

The Video Circuitry uses the very latest in processing

algorithms to produce an excellent image regardless of the video source, from 480i to 1080p. This includes the 1080/24p frame rate available from some video sources.

Also there is a special direct pixel pass through mode when used with external Video Processors.

• Video Adjustments

The MDLP2 allows for adjustment of important image quality effecting parameters, such as Color Temperature, Gamma and Black Level. There are also user adjustments with the ability to store the settings for future recall, along with three preset modes.

HDMITM 1.3 Connectivity with improved Color There are two HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Inter- face) inputs accepting 1080p signals. The MDLP2 supports Deep ColorTM ( 8bit, 10bit or 12bit signals) for reproduction of over one billion possible colors and x.v. ColorTM (Color

Space) can display any color viewable by the human eye.

On-Screen Information Displays

The On-Screen Display indicates the Source Selection and Information about the source signal. The Menu Selections and Adjustments are also displayed on screen.

• Die Cast Internal Chassis

The MDLP2 die cast aluminum internal chassis assures the precise mechanical alignment of the entire hermetically sealed optical light path, which is necessary for a sharp, highly detailed and accurate color image. The die cast chassis also assures low operating noise and also helps to dissipate heat away from the sensitive internal components.

• Machined Top and Bottom Panels

The MDLP2 Top and Bottom Panels are machined from thick aluminum with a smooth black anodized finish.

• Special Power Supply

Fully regulated Power Supplies ensure stable noise free operation even though the power line varies.

Fiber Optic Solid State Top Panel Illumination

The even illumination of the Top Panel is accomplished by the combination of a custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffuser and an extra long life Light Emitting Diode

(LED). The glass Top Panel ensures the pristine beauty of the MDLP2 will be retained for many years.
