Meridian America MF10 manual Projection Distance Chart, Note all values are ±5%, Display size

The standard motorised projection lens is a large-diameter all-glass assembly with 16 elements in 13 groups. It is made by Fujinon Corporation, noted for their quality projection lenses. The lens minimises chromatic aberration effects and delivers maximum resolution by ensuring that individual pixels are all in focus on-screen. The 2x zoom capability permits a large, bright image even in smaller environments that do not allow for longer projector-to-screen distances.

The projector also includes a special vertical stretch facility for the display of extra-wide- screen images with the addition of a third- party lens assembly. Most projectors obtain a 2.35:1 aspect ratio simply by masking off the top and bottom of the display area with black bands (letterboxing). This inevitably reduces the image resolution, brightness and contrast, as a significant number of available

display pixels are not being used. In the case of the MF10, the image is expanded vertically to facilitate the use of all 2,073,600 pixels in the display engine, dramatically increasing brightness and contrast.

To make positioning of the projector in an installation as easy as possible, the MF10 offers ±80% vertical and ±34% horizontal lens shift, and the unit may be table or ceiling mounted. Ease of installation is further enhanced by the front intake/exhaust arrangement of the low-noise fan system, which leaves only interconnects on the rear panel. In addition, the lamp is easily accessed via a side panel wherever the projector is mounted.

The projector features HDMI 1.3 inputs, allowing 225MHz bandwidth and billions of colours, enhanced resolution and higher frame rates. The connectors are widely- spaced to allow the easy connection of professional cabling. The multiple input capability of the MF10 makes it particularly easy to install in a wide variety of systems. A Meridian DVD player like those in the

800 or G Series can drive the MF10 directly via HDMI, and there are also component, S-Video and composite analogue inputs. Alternatively, a processor like the Meridian DVP1080 can be used, offering superior quality scaling, de-interlacing and up- converting of a wide selection of analogue and digital inputs. The MF10 can also be used with other processors.
