2 Features

Highly configurable electronic adjustment gives you the freedom to place the projector wherever you want

A short focal length, high power zoom, and fully vertically adjustable lens allow you to use the projector in a wide range of environments. You can also use the remote control to access many lens functions such as focus, zoom, and lens shift to fine-tune the projector from your viewing position.

Uses the latest DMD™ device HD2+

The projector uses the latest version of the high contrast 720p DMD ^TM “HD2+”, to reduce black levels even further and reproduce contrasts close to that of a film.

Adjust 7 colors independently (including white), or use the automatic color balance function

The DPX-1100 allows you to adjust the 7-axis WRGBYCM color coordinate and gain parameters directly. For better consistency, you can also control color temperature and RBG balance together, allowing you to check that the changes you make are always consistent with your preferences.

The latest digital interface provides sharp, detailed images

The DPX-1100 is equipped with an HDMI terminal, which is set to become the standard for the coming generation of products. Connect to a DVD player or set-top box with a HDMI terminal to receive digital image data directly, and enjoy completely digitally processed images. Compatible with the content protection function of HDCP.

Intelligent memory functions

The DPX-1100 can store six image memory settings, called memory numbers, for each input jack. For each memory number, you can set parameters for different input resolutions, and the unit will switch to the appropriate parameters when it begins displaying an image of an appropriate resolution. For example, the unit automatically changes display settings without changing memory numbers when you change from watching a DVD to watching a HDTV image for which you have set different image menu item parameters.

10 Installation

Setting up the DPX-1100

There are four ways of mounting the projector.

Mounting method	Projection method
Placed on a table	A: From in front of a screen
	B: From behind a semi-translucent screen
Mounted on the ceiling	C: From in front of a screen
	D: From behind a semi-translucent screen

◆Mounting the projector on a table

A: From in front of a screen

Simple line drawing of a person sitting in a chair facing a projector screen (no text or symbols)

Place the unit on a table to project and view the image from in front of the screen. Usually, place the unit on a reasonably high table. The height from the bottom of the unit to the center of the lens is 12.4cm (4"-7/8).

B: From behind a screen (using a semi-translucent screen)

Simple line drawing of a person sitting in a chair facing a triangular screen and a small object on a pedestal (no text or symbols)

Place the unit on a table to project and view the image from behind a semi-translucent screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as "A: From in front of the screen".

- Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Rear/Table]. ( page 22 - 40)

◆Mounting the projector on the ceiling

There are two kinds of brackets (low ceiling and high ceiling, sold separately), which you can use to mount the projector on the ceiling. Please consult your dealer for details on their use, and have installation done by either your dealer or a reputable contractor.

C: From in front of a screen

Simple line drawing of a person sitting in a chair facing a projector screen (no text or symbols)

Mount the unit on the ceiling to project and view the image from in front of the screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as "A: From in front of the screen".

- Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Front/Ceiling]. ( page 22 - 40)

D: From behind a semi-translucent screen

Simple line drawing of a person sitting in a chair next to a triangular lamp (no text or symbols)

Mount the unit on the ceiling to project and view the image from behind a semi-translucent screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as "B: From behind a screen".

- Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Rear/Ceiling]. ( page 22 - 40)

Projection distance

The most suitable distance between the screen and the projector (see Projection distance [a]) depends on the size of the screen (diagonal length) you use. You can use the zoom function to adjust the projection distance within a preset range from Wide to Tele. You can also alter the V.POS parameter to adjust the vertical position of the image to better suit the screen. Use the information in the table below to determine the best location to place the projector in to suit your screen size.

Screen size (inch)	Projection distance [a] Wide (m) – Tele (m)
60	1.78 – 2.88
70	2.08 – 3.37
80	2.39 – 3.86
90	2.70 – 4.35
100	3.00 – 4.84
110	3.31 – 5.33
120	3.62 – 5.82
150	4.54 – 7.29
200	6.07 – 9.74

* These are theoretical values.
During actual use there may be a deviance of a few percent.

Since the DPX-1100 has a 16:9 panel, the ideal installation location for use with a 4:3 screen depends on the size of the image you wish to view.

Screen size (inch)	Projection distance[a]
	16:9 image (*1) Wide (m) – Tele (m)	4:3 image (*2) Wide (m) – Tele (m)
60	1.63 – 2.64	2.17 – 3.52
80	2.19 – 3.54	2.93 – 4.72
100	2.76 – 4.44	3.68 – 5.92
120	3.32 – 5.34	4.43 – 7.12
200	5.58 – 8.94	7.43 – 11.92
	(*3)

(*1) Projects a 16:9 image that completely fills the screen (leaves a black line at the top and bottom of the screen).

(*2) Projects a 4:3 image that completely fills the screen.

(*3) When projecting both 16:9 and 4:3 images.

You can use the zoom function to make efficient use of the screen for both *1 and *2 above. The projection distance in this case is between Wide in *2 and Tele in *1. Use the zoom to adjust the size of the projection images so that they fill the screen completely. Note that adjustments to V.POS may cause the position of the image to change.

Follow the instructions to adjust the position of the projected image on screen.

This illustration shows the limits within which the zoom function can alter projection distance [a] in relation to screen size. You can adjust the image within these limits so that it fills the screen completely. ( page 21)

You can adjust the vertical position of the projection image up or down by half of the height of the screen. For example, shifting V.POS fully up brings the lower limit of the image above the centerline of the lens. ( page 20)

If you mount this unit on a tabletop, you can use the adjusters on its underside to change the position of the projection image. Rotate the movable part of the two screw-type adjusters at the front bottom of the case to adjust the height. The movement range of the adjusters is 3cm (1-1/4 inch). Adjust with care as loosening them further than 3cm may cause them to separate from the unit.

◆Keystone adjustment

If you mount the unit at an angle to the screen, it projects trapezoidally distorted images. You can use the [keystone Correction] item in the [Setup] menu group to rectify this. ( page 22-34)

Memo

• If the keystone is adjusted aspect ratio may not be correctly maintained. To correctly maintain the aspect ratio, try to use the DPX-1100 with the lens shift in the center position.
• The video may be disturbed by keystone correction. Wherever possible, we recommend setting up so the screen and projector form a right angle.

11 Reference

Glossary

The following is a list of key words used in the use of projectors and image signals and their explanations. Please refer to it when using this manual.

For an explanation of vocabulary used in the menu, refer to "Menu group items and functions" ( page 25).

Ceiling mount bracket

The mounting hardware used to hang this unit from the ceiling. Two types of bracket are available, for high and low ceilings. Ceiling mount brackets are sold separately.

Cinemascope size

The widest film format in 70mm film, with an aspect of 2.35:1.

Color spacing

The conversion of YUV color separated signal to RGB signal. There are two formats for this, BT.601 for SDTV, and BT.709 for HDTV. This unit switches between them as required.

Component video signal

A method of sending video signals with independent luminance and color signals. Component video gives a higher image quality than ordinary composite video because it bypasses mixing and separating circuits. Component video signal consists of three lines, the luminance signal (Y), and two color difference signals ( P_B/C_B , P_R/C_R ).

Composite video signal

The most common type of video signal, combining luminance and color signals in one line. This method requires mixing and separating processes on both the send and receive sides. Use a pin cable for connection.

DCDi™ function

Directional Correlational Deinterlacing, a high quality image circuitry developed by the Faroudja company. DCDi uses edge cutting techniques to remove jagged edges from images during Interlace to Progressive conversion, allowing smooth, natural reproduction of images.

DLP™ technology

Digital Light Processing, an image display engine used in projectors that use the DMD ^™ chip developed by Texas Instruments.

D terminal

A cable that allows transmission of all of the signals in composite video in one cable. This method is used for transmitting image signals between the latest AV components. There are 5 methods of transmission, D1-D5. This unit is compatible with D4.

HDCP

A technique designed to protect the video transmission between a DVI or HDMI transmitter and a display device.

HDMI™

High-Definition Multimedia Interface, a method of differentially transmitting digital RGB/component video signal from computers and home digital equipment.

HDTV

High-Definition Television, a term used to define systems that satisfy the following conditions:

• A vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i (p stands for progressive scans, ; stands for interlace scans)
  • A 16:9 aspect ratio

Interlace

The most common type of scanning used in televisions. It divides a screen into even and odd numbered fields for scanning, and then builds an image by combining them into one image (frame).

Keystone Correction

Using the unit at an angle to the screen distorts the projected image trapezoidally. You can use Keystone Correction to electronically correct this distortion.

Letterbox

A method of converting the content of landscape oriented film to a 4:3 signal. You can watch landscape images without trimming them by adding a black bar to the top and bottom of the screen, however this sacrifices vertical resolution to some extent.

Progressive

A method of displaying all scanning lines in a frame at once, reducing flicker noticeable on a larger screen and creating a sharp, smooth image. This unit uses progressive scanning for progression.

RGB Signal

A method of transmitting color information using a numeric representation of the primary colors red, green, and blue separately. When received, it is expressed in various colors by adding a mixing colors. RGB is widely used for sending and receiving color images between computers, and requires horizontal and vertical sync signals.

SDTV

Standard Definition Television, a term used to define normal television broadcasts which do not meet HDTV standards.

Smart zoom

Expands the left and right sides of a 4:3 image without altering the center, when you are attempting to project a 4:3 image on a wide screen format. This creates some distortion at both edges.

Squeeze

A method of compressing film images horizontally to an aspect of ratio of 4:3 when recording to video medium. The raw image is oblong, so needs to be passed through a desqueezing circuit to be projected in it's original form.

Standby

The state in which the circuit that receives infrared-signals from the remote control is active, but all other main circuits are turned on. The unit consumes a small amount of power in this state.

S Video signal

S stands for Separate. A method of sending signals with separate luminance (Y) and color (C) signals. Use a 4-pin mini DIN connector and cable for connection.

Sync.

Computers output signals with a given regular frequency, which you must synchronize the projector to in order to produce a good quality image. If you do not match the phase of the signal, the image may be flickery, faded, or distorted.

Test pattern

This unit contains test patterns which you can use to adjust the position and focus of the projected image on the screen.

Tracking

Computers output signals with a given regular frequency, which you must synchronize the projector to in order to produce a good quality image. If you do not match the phase of the signal, vertical stripes may appear on the image.

Vista size

A standard film size, with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 in North America, and 1.66:1 in Europe.

3-2 pulldown detection style IP conversion

A function for directly converting interlace signal into sixty frame progressive signal used when receiving 60 field interlace signal from an image source recorded with the same 24 frames as movie film. This allows DVD and other materiel recorded with 24 frames to be projected on large screens as a natural, precise image with no loss of quality, comparable to a movie film.
