Page 92: The Dmd
Digital Projection THE DMD™ Lightning Series The DMD™ Notes A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator which utilises an array of up to 2.3 million moving aluminium mirrors, with each one representing a pixel in the final projected image. The outermost micromirrors in the array remain inactive and are not used in constructing the image. - Page 93 Digital Projection THE DMD™ Lightning Series The DMD™ (continued) Notes Depending on the voltage polarity applied, each mirror will either tilt to the left to produce a bright pixel or to the right for a dark pixel. When light is applied to the complete DMD™, only the light redirected from a mirror tilting to the left is projected.

Page 129: Positioning The Image
Digital Projection POSITIONING THE IMAGE Lightning Series Positioning The Image Notes The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image using the Lens shift feature (known as rising and falling front) to maintain a geometrically correct image. - Page 130 Digital Projection POSITIONING THE IMAGE Lightning Series Positioning The Image (continued) Notes Any single adjustment outside the ranges specified on the following page may result in an unacceptable level of distortion, particularly at the corners of the image, due to the image passing through the periphery of the lens optics.
-
Page 131: Maximum Offset Range
Digital Projection POSITIONING THE IMAGE Lightning Series Maximum offset range Notes The maximum offset range available with no distortion or vignetting is dependent on which lens is used. Shifting the lens beyond its undistorted limits may be physically possible, however you may experience some vignetting or distortion. -

Digital Projection 3D SETUP Lightning Series 3D Setup Notes In most situations you can use the Auto setting to have the projector automatically detect the format. Otherwise, consider the notes below to help you set up the 3D input manually. - Page 141 Digital Projection 3D SETUP Lightning Series • Frame Packing Notes This format will be detected, re-synchronised, frame-multiplied and displayed at 144Hz with the left eye / right eye dominance automatically extracted from the video data. You need to optimize Dark Time manually to suit your chosen switching glasses.

Page 143: Frame Rate Multiplier
Digital Projection 3D SETUP Lightning Series Frame Rate Multiplier Notes If the 3D video is available only at low frame rates, it will be necessary to multiply the frame rate to obtain a flicker-free image. For example, a 60Hz frame rate can be doubled to 3D may not be present on some 120Hz, or a 48Hz frame rate could be tripled to 144Hz. -
