•DMD Face Dust Protection Structure

A dust contral shield is arranged between each DMD chip of R, G and B, and the spectroscopic/condenser prism to prevent dust and dirt in the air, and oily particles in smoke associated with event halls from coming into contact with the face of the DMD and causing operating problems.

• Efficient cooling of the heat from the DMD unit by the cooling structure

The DMD unit uses a highly efficient liquid cooling method. This efficiently eliminates heat applied to the DMD by the complete dust contral structure and high light output, thereby ensuring the reliability of the projector.
