Page 95: The Dmd
Digital Projection Mercury Quad Series THE DMD™ 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 (pond of mirrors) and are not used in constructing the image. - Page 96 Digital Projection Mercury Quad Series THE DMD™ 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 117: Pulldowns - Conversion Into Destination Formats
Digital Projection Mercury Quad Series FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Pulldowns - conversion into destination formats Notes Pulldowns are a method of converting a 24p source into a different destination format by adding extra frames to the source. 2:3 (normal) pulldown This method is used to convert a 24p source (film) into a 60i destination (NTSC video) by adding two extra fields for every four frames, effectively increasing the frame rate to 30 fps. -
Page 118: 2:3:3:2 (Advanced) Pulldown
Digital Projection Mercury Quad Series FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED 2:3:3:2 (advanced) pulldown Notes This method is very similar to the normal pulldown.
