  • Page 16: How The Projector Works

    LCD display to provide information at-a-glance How the projector works The Mirage SST accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens, typical in commercial or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a laser illumination source, then fed to the projector through a fiber optic cable, where it is modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information.
