Yamaha Natural Black Concept
How a video system reproduces black and all its gradations is what determines contrast, and generally makes the difference between an image that is merely good and one that is sharp and richly detailed at every level of brightness. In quest of superior contrast performance, Yamaha developed the Natural Black concept, whereby various technologies, parts and functions combine to achieve truer, deeper levels of black than those of conventional home cinema projectors.
4,000:1 Contrast Ratio (Highest Level in Its Class) and Brightness of 1,500 ANSI Lumens
The Yamaha DPX-530 utilizes DLP™ and other advanced technologies to deliver superior overall projection performance. In addition to a having a wide-panel DMD™? with a mirror angle of ±12°, the optical engine features a high-detail all-glass lens.
The prism shape and lens arrangement have been precisely designed and a special coating reduces the light reflection that can affect contrast performance. As a result, contrast is an amazing 4,000:1 and small details that would ordinarily be obscured by black areas are visible. In addition, the highest level of brightness in its class (1,500 ANSI lumens) lets you enjoy clear images in ordinary living room lighting.
Motorised Iris Control for Higher Contrast
The DPX-530 utilises motorised Optical Iris Control. Optimising the shape of the iris contributes to the high contrast performance and helps to increase the depth of field
Seven-Segment Colour Wheel
This projector uses an improved color wheel with seven segments, including a white segment that makes bright scenes extremely vivid.
Low Light Leakage
The chassis is designed to block light leakage from the front, where stray light is more likely to affect picture quality.
4,000-Hour Lamp Life
The lamp has a long service life of approximately 4,000 hours (lamp Cinema mode), thanks to an improved temperature control system.
Quiet Operation
The projector runs with the quiet efficiency customers expect from a high quality home cinema projector. It uses effective ducting and minimises cooling fan operation by continually adjusting it according to picture brightness. Viewers can lost themselves in the movie without the annoyance of projector noise.
DVI-D Terminal and HDMI Compatibility
A DVI-D terminal is provided, so digital signals can be received for maximum picture quality. This terminal can accept copy protection (HDCP) signals. By using a connector conversion cable, HDMI input is possible via the DVI-D terminal.
Versatile Mode Selection
The Yamaha DPX-530 offers a variety of modes that can changed to achieve the best possible image quality. Gamma modes provided are Dynamic, Cinema 1, Cinema 2 and Default, which is used for normal use. Colour Temperature modes are High, Mid, Low and Custom. Aspect modes are Normal, Squeeze, Zoom, Through and Default, which automatically selectes Normal or Squeeze depending on the input signal. All of these modes can be selected via menus on the on-screen display.
