Action! model three 1080

The projectiondesign Action! model three 1080 is the world’s first true

HDTV single chip DLP™ front projector, using the new 0.95” 1080p DMD™ by Texas Instruments®. It shows true, uncompressed, unaltered 1920 x 1080 resolution HDTV like no other projector.

1080p - more detail, better dynamics, better quality

1920 x 1080 - true, uncompressed HDTV resolution - gives hugely improved image quality and more lifelike images through more detail and better dynamics over any other resolution and standard. With a given screen size, the Action! model three 1080 can reproduce more than double the information and detail reproduced by a

720p projector, and up to six times the detail of regular

SDTV material. An increase in image quality that everyone can appreciate.

1920 x 1080 pixels give six times the screen size with the same perceived resolution.

More brightness enables larger screens..

Most HDTV resolution projectors have very low brightness levels when properly calibrated, and are unable to fill a decently sized screen with the brighntess level desired, let alone what is recommended by the SMPTE. Not so with the Action! model three 1080. It’s unique two-lamp complement can provide up to six times more brightness than some of the competition, which means screen size can be increased similarly with the same realized and perceived brightness level!

Single chip DLP™ with DuArch™ architechture

The Action! model three 1080 is based on projectiondesign’s patented DuArch™ illumination architechture. Using two lamps, two colour wheels and dual light formatters, it offers outstanding single chip DLP™ performance. It surpasses all other single chip front projectors in optical performance, featuring a wider head room than any other competing projector, with up to 7500 : 1 true optical contrast, and completely configurable brightness output. The model three 1080 uses Texas Instruments® new SLR - Spoke Light

Recapture - a part of the BrilliantColor™ technology - to dramatically improve colour reproduction, especially in secondary colours.

..and higher true optical contrast

With higher brightness levels available, more can be used to turn into true optical contrast. Unlike most competing projectors that are using dynamic contrast enhancement teqniques, the Action! model three 1080 uses pure optical contrast to achieve truly dynamic imaging. Where dynamic enhancements may look good on paper with massive contrast numbers, and impressive with viewers at first, true optical contrast does not give white crush and loss of detail in the incoming signal, and always stays true to the calibrated grey scale tracking.

Dual colour wheels use NDG (Neutral Density Green) technology to increase visual colour resolution in green, creating a higher bitresolution image, dramatically reducing low level dithering artefacts.

High performance optics

A range of six lenses is available. From ultra wide angle at 0.75 : 1, designed for rear projection, to the super tele zoom at 3.7 - 6.5 : 1 ratio. All lenses use special

LD (Low Dispersion) glass, and aspherical lens elements manufactured to the highest possible standards, with very high precision CNC-machined mechanical interfaces. All lenses feature lens shift both horizontally and vertically to aid in installation without having to introduce digital distortion and reduction of detail through the use of digital keystone adjustment.

Infinitely adjustable output brightness

To match the Action! model three 1080 to any desired on-screen brightness, each lamp’s power is individually adjustable, in addition to adjusting illumination apertures with extremely high precision. This gives an infinitely adjustable brightness, up to as high as 2500 ANSI lumens, enough for even the largest screens.

RealColor colour management suite

Our proprietary RealColor colour management suite ensures perfect colour and grey scale reproduction, and allows an easy and accurate way to setting up. Each single projector is individually calibrated during the final test phase, recording actual performance, with colour gamut and saturation, as well as electrical properties. This is then applied to the incoming signal, in order to display any format correctly. Each unit comes calibrated to a perfect

D65 white point.

The precision projection lenses feature LD (Low Dispersion) glass and aspherical lens elements to resolve the finer detail of a 1920 x 1080

HDTV image. High microcontrast provides an incredible image quality.

True optical contrast vs sequential contrast

True optical contrast will always have full white level and full black level available with any picture content. A torch pointing at the camera in a dark environment will have true, intense, white light, at the same time as the dark areas will be just that. Sequential - or dynamically enhanced contrast - on the other hand, will control the output of the projector based on image content. Only with bright content pictures will the projector have intensive brightness. The dark environment may be dark, but the torch will look more like a candle, as it will not have an intensive output. With mixed exposure scenes, a projector with dynamic contrast enhancement will have neither bright, nor dark images, whereas true optical contrast will have maximum available contrast at all times, providing a much more dynamic image. Some projectors try to overcome problems with varying output levels by electronically compensating for it. This leads to severe loss of detail, especially in bright parts of the frame with mixed and low exposure scenes.

Top: Intensive white and deep black in the same picture with true optical contrast - deep black, but reduced whites with dynamic contrast.

Bottom: Deep black and intensive highs with true optical contrast

High performance single link connection.

The Action! model three 1080 connects to the Crystalio II video processor using a totally unique concept and technology. A self adapting digital line driver enables use of standard, high gauge digital cables without loss of quality. No special design interface cable is required, and lenghts up to 25 meters are easily managable. The self adapting nature of the interface eases installation. There is no manual balancing or equalisation needed. Everything is just plug and play. The digital cable interface suppoerts 10-bit HDMI video, but uses DVI connectors for mechanical superiority. In addition to the DVI cable, an RS232 cable is required for control.
