MF10

1080p High Definition Projector

The Meridian MF10 digital projector offers extraordinary black reproduction capability, with 30,000:1 native contrast ratio. It also features a brand new 0.7in full high definition device and associ- ated optical engine utilising advanced D-ILA technology. The impressive contrast ratio is obtained via the native capabilities of the engine, without the use of a dynamic iris, thus ensuring true black reproduction without loss of brightness.

D-ILA is a particularly advanced approach to LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) display technology which offers significant advances over other display systems.

Unlike many other systems, which use a single display element and a colour wheel, which introduces flickering and other artefacts such as colour dithering and rainbow effects, the MF10 employs three individually-tuned 1920 x 1080 pixel D-ILA devices – one each for red, green and blue.

D-ILA devices achieve a significant reduction in stray light by flattening the spaces between pixels and using new, advanced liquid crystals and orientation technologies. The optical engine also employs wire grid polarisers, which signficantly reduce light scatter into the projection lens, further contributing to improved contrast.

In addition to a host of superb quality features, each Meridian MF10 projector is hand-tuned at our headquarters and manufacturing facility near Cambridge, England. Here, using specially-developed test and calibration routines, we precisely set gamma, colour temperature and other parameters, allowing the MF10 to dramatically exceed the performance of off- the-shelf projectors.

Meridian has exclusive access to the inner workings of D-ILA, and using special software developed by William Phelps, we are able to unlock the full potential of this projector – particularly the ability to calibrate the individual Red, Green and Blue colour look-up tables (LUTs) that determine exact colour levels for each pixel.

With full access to the projector’s processing system, we can perform a full calibration procedure, optimising not only gamma but also colour/grey scale, ensuring more natural colour and minimum artefacts. In addition, we provide the highest degree of accuracy with all available gamma selections. No other company or process has access to these capabilities.

Superior colour rendition is made possible by an unusually broad colour space – the MF10’s colour rendering system exceeds the gamut of competing systems (see over).
