Digital Projection THE DMD™ Reference Guide HIGHlite 730 & 740 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 and are not used in constructing the image.
Page 105
Digital Projection THE DMD™ Reference Guide HIGHlite 730 & 740 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 730 & 740 Series 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 POSITIONING THE IMAGE Reference Guide HIGHlite 730 & 740 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 121
Digital Projection POSITIONING THE IMAGE Reference Guide HIGHlite 730 & 740 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 730 & 740 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.
