O v e r v i e w
Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments'
first DLP™ partner and the original innovator of the 3-chip
DLP™ projector, proudly introduces the LIGHTNING
30-1080p, 40-1080p, 45-1080p and 1080p Ultra Contrast.
These new Pro Series II projectors employ the latest in
dark metal, 3-chip DLP™ technology, and include DPI's
exceptional RapidRig™ staging and stacking hardware
with integrated pitch, roll and yaw adjustments. When
considered along with their 10,000-30,000 ANSI lumen
brightness and 2000:1 contrast performance, not to men-
tion the Ultra Contrast's 5000:1 contrast, the 30-1080p,
40-1080p, 45-1080p and 1080p Ultra Contrast are ideally
suited for the most challenging staging and large-venue
permanent installations in the world.
The LIGHTNING 1080p projectors also incorporate DPI's
Hyper-Cooled lamp module, one of our CoolTek innova-
tions.
Engineered with a proprietary, directional-flow
reflector mask and radial heat exchanger, the Hyper-
Cooled module dramatically improves projector thermal
characteristics and extends reflector life and lumen
maintenance. In turn, these operating benefits provide a
significant reduction to the long-term cost of ownership,
while also enhancing component reliability.
Other key benefits of the LIGHTNING 1080p line include:
• DP's NextGen electronics with class leading video de-interlacing.
SD and HD sources are processed using auto 3:2 and 2:2
extraction
• Minimal video delay from input to screen - as low as 1 frame,
depending on source
• Sealed optics to protect DMD's and other focal plane compo-
nents from airborne contaminants
• Six user-selectable inputs including HDCP compliant DVI
• ColorMax calibration capabilities, including enhanced seven-
point color correction for broader color space and accurate color
alignment
• DP's CoolTek engineering, which delivers the highest lumen
performance with the lowest thermal (BTU) and noise level (dB)
output
• A range of precision optics with extended lens shift, compatible
with all TITAN and LIGHTNING sx+ and 1080p models
The LIGHTNING 30-1080p, 40-1080p, 45-1080p and
1080p Ultra Contrast Pro Series II projectors - ultra-pow-
erful display systems for major events and applications -
bring the precision of Digital Projection to every venue.
