(9.4 kg) SHARP Press release Feb 21-2004 Sharp Launches Latest High Contrast Ratio XV-Z12000 Home Theater ProjectorAdopts DMDTM HD2+ Chip with 10 bit Green Processing, Provides Superior Enjoyment of Home Theater(21st February 2004) Sharp launches latest DLPTM high contrast ratio home theater projector, XV-Z12000, which has superior projection image quality, stylish design and outstanding features.1. Cutting Edge Optics Offer 5500:1 High Contrast for Vivid Color Reproduction· True Black Display ¾ Innovative F8 Optics SystemBoth the illumination and projection parts are fitted with cat-eye-shaped apertures and other technologically advanced devices that completely filter off all excessive light. Jointly developed by Sharp and Minolta, this new high contrast projector is packed with revolutionary features, which offers high aperture up to F8. Until the introduction of F8 optics, black images produced by conventional fixed pixel projectors always fall short of expectation. Now, Sharp has turned this dream into reality.· New DMDTM Technology ¾ HD2 + ChipThe DLPTM technology employs a reflective device called DMDTM, which theoretically displays high-contrast images. The XV-Z12000 goes one step further and features a HD2 + chip which is greatly superior to the DMDTM HD2 chip used in the old XV-Z10000. The new chip can significantly improve the light exploitation efficiency, and its optical design ensures optimum projector performance. The result is truly reproduction of color images across a wide spectrum of dynamic ranges and visual environments.· Natural and Vivid Images ¾ High Color Pureness Projector Lamp SystemPowerful 270W projector lamp generates rich bright light that guarantees faithful display of ultra pure red, green and blue. Most projector displays can only reproduce crimson shades close to bright red. To solve this problem, the XV-Z12000 is designed for high color pureness, ensuring true reds that are striking, rich and smooth.Automatic drive voltage is increased only when light generated by the light source is beamed through a red color wheel. This is called Pulse Overlay Technology. With this breakthrough, incomplete display of reds, which was very common in high voltage mercury projector lamps, is no longer a problem. With our latest projector system, not only reds, greens and blues become ultra pure, but also brightness is optimally balanced to deliver vivid and natural colors.· Better Image Quality ¾ ND Color WheelIn addition to the six conventional filters (RGBRGB), this new theater projector has a 7-segment ND color wheel with built-in low brightness green filters. In optical theory, the human eye is most sensitive to the green color. Based on this principle, the XV-Z12000 features a 10-bit drive for green shades that greatly enhances the visual impact of dark image parts. Even panchromatic parts are dazzlingly.2. Sharp Original Single-chip Image Processing LSI for Exceptional Optical Performance· PMD-IP ConversionWith conventional motion-adaptive IP conversion, near horizontal lines and marginal parts of the image are turned into broken or jaggy lines. The latest PMD-IP Conversion can pick out data of a specified length based on the length details in the image data. Correlation between the top and bottom sections of a specific part of an image (pattern matching) is calculated. Thus, the correlation data can be used to generate new modes in the mode phase, so that near horizontal lines and margins are smoothed and resulted in extremely high quality images.· Auto 2-3 Pull DownThe new XV-Z12000 is equipped with Auto 2-3 Pull Down, it can play back film source which is a digital video recording with the original encoded as is at 24 frames/second. The projector can convert this film source to progressive video at 60 frames/second with NTSC and PAL 60Hz or at 50 frames/second with PAL 50Hz and SECAM to play back a high definition image.· Noise ReductionXV-Z12000 is also equipped with a frame analysis noise reduction feature. The use of sophisticated noise analysis makes it possible to suppress fuzziness and reduce noise.· ResizingVideo images sometimes appear to be less "crisp" when subjected to enlargement processing. As a means for improving this, the XV-Z12000 is equipped with a DFC (Depth of Focus Control) function that performs operations similar to the depth of focus that performs operations similar to the depth of focus adjustment on camera. The use of this function makes it possible to further enhance image sharpness.· Color Control SystemThe XV-Z12000's color management function provides independent control of luminosity, chroma and hue for the six colors of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow. For example, you can shift only the hue of Magenda color to Red.3. Powered Iris Switchover FunctionCatering to multiple Audio Visual environments and image types, the XV-Z12000 is added with Iris Switchover Function that offers changeable settings. Both the illumination and projection parts come with cat-eye-shaped apertures. Simply change their shape to activate different projection modes. With a touch of a button, you can choose between "High Brightness Mode", "Medium Mode" and "High Contrast Mode", as desired. 4. Multiple Picture Quality Adjustment - Optimum Tuning Feature For Discerning UsersTo meet the needs of discerning consumers, the new theater projector offers Multiple Picture Quality Adjustment that includes RGB independent gamma, Gain, Offset correction and C.M.S. (Color Control System). You can adjust playback picture quality precisely to suit your personal preferences, and save the adjusted parameters. These user-friendly programs can be activated at a touch of a button. All your favourable settings are right at your fingertips.5. DVI Terminals for New Generation Image SystemsDVI-I input jacks at the back of the XV-Z12000 are compatible with HDCP, an interface for new generation digital contents. Digital signal processing in Home Theater can come true and no picture quality will be deteriorated during AD/DA conversion. 6. Special Design for a Comfortable Home Theater Environment· Diversified Features to Suit Different Projection EnvironmentsThe XV-Z12000 offers great versatility to suit different projection environment. For example, Lens Shift Function, 1.35x Zoom Lens function etc. All these features are made to suit different projection environments.· SHARPVISION MANAGER Ver. 2.0 Use the standard software SHARPVISION MANAGER Ver. 2.0 to set up your PC. You can set your desired gamma correction and other picture quality adjustment features.· High-resolution Images PlaybackIn addition to ordinary video signals, the new theatre projector can process various high quality image sources like DVD digital signals and the 720p high-resolution images.· Colour Temperature Settings With 61 position settings, colour temperature can be adjusted with a wide range of tones from 5,500K to 11,000K to suit different Audio / Visual sources A few notes about DLP Technology DLP™ technology is a revolutionary display solution that uses an optical semiconductor to manipulate light digitally. It's also a proven and dependable technology preferred by leading electronics companies worldwide, with more than 2 million systems shipped to more than 50 manufacturers since 1996. DLP™ technology is in use wherever visual excellence is in demand. In fact, it's the only display solution that enables movie projectors, televisions, home theater systems and business projectors to create an entirely digital connection between a graphic or video source and the screen in front of you. The result is maximum fidelity: a picture whose clarity, brilliance and color must be seen to be believed.THE SEMICONDUCTOR THAT CHANGED EVERYTHINGAt the heart of every DLP™ projection system is an optical semiconductor known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD chip, which was invented by Dr. Larry Hornbeck of Texas Instruments in 1987. The DMD chip is probably the world's most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair. When a DMD chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source, and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect an all-digital image onto a screen or other surface. The DMD and the sophisticated electronics that surround it are what we call Digital Light Processing™ technologyDIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING I: THE GRAYSCALE IMAGEA DMD panel's micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source in a DLP™ projection system (ON) or away from it (OFF)-creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. The bit-streamed image code entering the semiconductor directs each mirror to switch on and off up to several thousand times per second. When a mirror is switched on more frequently than off, it reflects a light gray pixel; a mirror that's switched off more frequently reflects a darker gray pixel. In this way, the mirrors in a DLP™ projection system can reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of gray to convert the video or graphic signal entering the DMD into a highly detailed grayscale image.DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING II: ADDING COLORThe white light generated by the lamp in a DLP™ projection system passes through a color wheel as it travels to the surface of the DMD panel. The color wheel filters the light into red, green, and blue, from which a single-chip DLP™ projection system can create at least 16.7 million colors. And the 3-DMD chip system found in DLP Cinema™ projection systems is capable of producing no fewer than 35 trillion colors. The on and off states of each micromirror are coordinated with these three basic building blocks of color. For example, a mirror responsible for projecting a purple pixel will only reflect red and blue light to the projection surface; our eyes then blend these rapidly alternating flashes to see the intended hue in a projected image.APPLICATIONS AND CONFIGURATIONSTelevisions, home theater systems and business projectors using DLP™ technology rely on a single DMD chip configuration like the one described above.White light passes through a color wheel filter, causing red, green and blue light to be shone in sequence on the surface of the DMD. The switching of the mirrors, and the proportion of time they are 'on' or 'off' is coordinated according to the color shining on them. The human visual system integrates the sequential color and sees a full-color image.DLP™ technology-enabled projectors for very high image quality or high brightness applications such as cinema and large venue displays rely on a 3-DMD-chip configuration to produce stunning images, whether moving or still. In a 3-chip system, the white light generated by the lamp passes through a prism that divides it into red, green and blue. Each DMD chip is dedicated to one of these three colors; the colored light that the micromirrors reflect is then combined and passed through the projection lens to form an image MSRP (USD) : $11,999 Brightness (Lumens) : 900 ANSI Contrast (Full On/Off) : 1700:1 Variable Iris: Yes   High Brightness: ANSI Lumens:    900 Contrast Ratio:    1700:1   High Contrast: ANSI Lumens:    350 Contrast Ratio:    5500:1 Audible Noise:      ** Weight: 20.7 lbs Size (inches) (HxWxD) : 7.0 x 18.7 x 16.0 Std.
