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 theater projectors.
New 10-Bit Video Signal Processing
Designed for discerning home theater fans, the DPX-1300 utilizes 10-bit video signal processing from A/D conversion all the way through to DMD output. In addition, the newest HQV technology from Silicon Optix Inc. has been adopted to enable programmable per-pixel processing.
Plus, at high-definition TV resolution, high-level de-interlacing processing (1080i to 1080p) is performed is performed at the pixel level. Complex cadences are handled with ease, not only with 3:2 pulldown, but also with broadcast film and animation programming, for smooth, stable deinterlacing.
Other remarkable technologies include highly detailed scaling processing, jaggy line reduction for HD sources, and an Overshoot Suppressor for more natural outlines in images. To further improve DVDor SD TV picture quality, powerful Digital Video Noise Reduction minimizes mosquito noise and block noise.
720P DarkChip3™ Engine
This DLP chip is Texas Instruments’ most advanced Digital Micro Mirror Device. As the name implies, it provides deeper blacks, while improving contrast in dark areas.
High-Resolution Lens
Yamaha has gone beyond the capabilities of other projectors with the use of a new high-resolution lens that maintains resolution sensitivity to the edge of the lens. Four anomalousdispersion glass components are used to reduce chromatic aberration by half while maintaining a short focal point and high zoom magnification.
Seven-Segment Color Wheel
The Yamaha DPX-1300 incorporates a seven-segment color wheel, with an ND filter-equipped green segment, resulting in excellent color reproduction.
Natural Color Adjustment System
The DPX1300 features a color balance adjustment menu that enables higher precision adjustment with easier operation, with three color adjustment modes.
Convenient Memory Functions
For each set of input terminals, there are a total of six memory positions for storing different combinations of parameter settings, and each can be used for two different input signals, enabling up to 84 different memory setting patterns.
Mounting Flexibility
Mounting the DPX-1300 is easy and versatile. Lens-to-screen distance can be anywhere from 9 ft. 10 in. to 15 ft. 9 in. (3m to 5m, 100” screen) thanks to the powerful 1.6x zoom lens. Motorized vertical lens shift is ±50% of projection height, so the projector can be used at any height between the top and bottom of the screen. Iris, zoom and focus adjustments are also motorized, In addition, vertical and horizontal keystone.
HDMI and DVI Terminals for Versatile Interfacing
In order to connect the DPX-1300 to any component which outputs a digital video signal, it is equipped with both HDMI and DVI terminals. This also enables it to handle a variety of other data as well, such as component type, aspect ratio and colorimetry, which can be adjusted.
