Digital Projection THE DMD™ Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 79
Digital Projection THE DMD™ Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 POSITIONING THE IMAGE Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 94
Digital Projection POSITIONING THE IMAGE Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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 POSITIONING THE IMAGE Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series Maximum offset range Notes The maximum offset range available with no distortion or vignetting is dependent on which lens is used. Shifting the lens beyond its undistorted limits may be physically possible, however you may experience some vignetting or distortion.
Digital Projection ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series Aspect Ratios Explained Notes The appearance of a projected image on the screen depends on a combination of the following: • The DMD™ resolution is WUXGA with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 16:10 •...
Page 98
Digital Projection ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series Aspect ratio example: TheaterScope Notes Notes TheaterScope setting is used in combination with an anamorphic lens to restore 2.35:1 images packed into a 16:9 frame. Such images are projected with black lines at the top and bottom of the 16:9 screen to make up for the difference in aspect ratios.
Digital Projection FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series Frame Rates And Pulldowns Explained Notes Interlaced and progressive scan A progressive scan is a method of updating the image by drawing all the lines of each frame in a sequence. In contrast, interlaced video alternately scans odd and even lines.
Digital Projection FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 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.
Digital Projection FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Reference Guide HIGHlite Laser 3D Series 2:3:3:2 (advanced) pulldown Notes This method is very similar to the normal pulldown. Unlike the normal pulldown method, the resulting 30 fps video sequence contains only one frame containing fields from two different source frames.
