Technical Specifications - Meridian D-ILA1080MF1 User Manual

Optimized by William Phelps
To remove the guesswork from projector installation, each unit is individually precision-
tuned and calibrated in our UK factory using technology, techniques and expertise
developed exclusively by world-renowned video expert William Phelps. To take just one
example: conventional calibration simply aligns a projector's white reference to a given
colour temperature. However, colour temperature, surprisingly, does not tell you how
accurate the colour rendering is. Only one point in the colour measurement coordinate
system (D65) is actually correct - and our projectors are calibrated specifically to that point.
Optional Digital Video Processor
The D-ILA1080MF1 projector has no internal scaling, and so is recommended for use with
the DVP1080MF Digital Video Processor to convert all analogue and digital high definition
and standard definition sources to the native 1920x1080p resolution of the projector.
The processor features Faroudja's advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing with DCDi and
3:2 pull-down technology to ensure error-free progressive-scan signals.
Faroudja colour matrixing provides accurate colour profiles for PAL, NTSC and HDTV,
allowing the processor to up-convert standard analogue and digital video inputs to a
high-resolution, fully HDCP-compliant digital signal that can be transmitted via the DVI-D
connector to the projector.
The processor also allows detailed video adjustments to suit viewer preferences, and
custom user-defined configuration profiles can be established, saved and recalled at will to
address an extensive range of operating requirements.
