Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 Series THE DMD™ The DMD™ Notes A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator which utilizes 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 and are not used in constructing the image.
Page 88
Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 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 HIGHlite 740 Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS WUXGA images displayed full height Notes Only WUXGA or UXGA images can fill the full height of the DMD™, using all 1200 pixels without scaling. UXGA = 4:3 = 1.33:1 = 1600 pixels WUXGA = 16:10 = 1.6:1 = 1920 pixels...
Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 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 HIGHlite 740 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. Use the conversion chart to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen.
Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Positioning the screen and projector Notes The projector should be installed For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface as close to the power outlet as perpendicular to the floor. The bottom of the screen should be 1.2 m possible.
Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 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 104
Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 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 HIGHlite 740 Series POSITIONING THE IMAGE 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 HIGHlite 740 Series ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED Aspect ratio example: TheaterScope Notes setting is used in combination with an anamorphic lens to restore 2.35:1 images packed into a 16:9 frame. Such images TheaterScope 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 HIGHlite 740 Series FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED 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 HIGHlite 740 Series FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED 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. 2:3 (normal) pulldown This method is used to convert a 24p source (film) into a 60i destination (NTSC video) by adding two extra fields for every four frames, effectively increasing the frame rate to 30 fps.
Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 Series FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED 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.
