Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series THE DMD™ The DMD™ Notes A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator which utilises an array of approximately 8.8 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 60
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K 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.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series CHOOSING A LENS Choosing A Lens Notes A number of lenses are available. Which lens you choose depends on the screen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light output. INSIGHT 4K zoom lenses are...
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Screen Requirements Notes Fitting the image to the DMD™ The projector supports 4K and Ultra HD formats and is able to achieve 2K and 1080p via frame doubling. 2K and frame doubled 1080p will not utilize the full width of the DMD™, resulting in pillarboxing, as shown in the illustration.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Diagonal screen sizes Notes Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D). When dealing W = width with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Fitting the image to the screen Notes It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are planning to use.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Positioning the screen and projector Notes For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor. The bottom of the screen should The projector should be installed be 1.2 m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row of the...
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series POSITIONING THE IMAGE 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 67
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series POSITIONING THE IMAGE 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.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series POSITIONING THE IMAGE Maximum offset range Notes The maximum offset range available is dependent on which lens is used. Shifting the lens beyond its undistorted limits may be physically possible, however you may experience excessive vignetting or distortion.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Dual Laser 4K Series ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED Aspect Ratios Explained Notes The appearance of a projected image on the screen depends on: • the DMD™ resolution, which is 4K with a 4096 x 2160 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 256:135, or approximately 1.9:1.
