ANSI Contrast
ANSI Contrast is a way of measuring the true “real world” contrast performance you can expect from a projector. Only ANSI contrast has a documented, reproducible procedure that can be used to compare the performance of projectors using different display technologies.
With an ANSI contrast ratio significantly higher (in some cases 2-3 times) than many LCD, LCOS or SXRD based projectors the HD82 is the only choice for Home Cinema purists that expect the ultimate image fidelity in their home.
24P
PureMotion works in harmony with 1080P24. Most movies are shot at 24 frames per second. To preserve the purity of the original image the HD82 can accept High Definition sources at 24 frames per second and so display movies exactly as the director intended.
Latest DLP™ technology
The latest DarkChip3 technology from Texas Instruments ensures an invisible pixel structure from normal viewing distances and provides the highest ANSI contrast ratios available.
VIDI technology
The HD82 incorporates VIDI, a Philips lighting technology that further improves image quality, brightness and contrast. VIDI technology enables the HD82 colour performance to be fine tuned directly from the lamp – this unprecedented control makes it possible to achieve vibrant, perfectly saturated colours across the whole light spectrum resulting in stunningly natural and life-like images.
Anamorphic Projection
The optional Optoma BX-AL133-B Anamorphic Projection Kit, combined with the HD82 projector, provides a unique “fit and forget” solution for Constant Height projection. Most major movie titles are released in the 2.35:1 format and the BX-AL133-B Kit provides uncompromised widescreen reproduction of this format. When a change from a 1.78:1 (16:9) to a 2.35:1 movie is detected the image simply gets wider - the full screen height is maintained and so eliminates black bars. The resulting 2.35:1 image is bigger, brighter, higher resolution and completely immersive - exactly as it would be at the cinema.
The BX-AL133 Anamorphic Projection Kit Comprises:
- Anamorphic lens
- Five element, 100% glass, fully multicoated optical design corrected for chromatic aberration and astigmatism
- Optics designed to exceed the resolution requirements for 1080P projection
Motorised Lens Mount
- Integrates with the ThemeScene Auto235 feature to automatically detect 2.35:1 presentations and configure the projector and anamorphic lens accordingly
- High Precision maintenance free mechanism
- Mounting Plate
- Allows the lens and the motorised lens mount to be mounted perfectly in relation to the projector
- Enables the projector and the Anamorphic Projection Kit to be mounted as one
