PointBlank Product Specification, Rev A 
for any input computer source supported by the projector and independent of projector settings 
such as keystone, scaling mode, etc. 
The PointBlank patterns are not visible to the viewer, except for an increase in the black level and 
a small decrease in the red, green and blue lumens. Depending on the DLP sequence approach, 
there can be some color distortion of the black level as well. Since the PointBlank patterns affect 
the projector contrast and lumens, a non PointBlank mode can also be supported and is 
recommended to maintain projector specifications relative to brightness, contrast and color 
points. 
4 Detailed Description 
4.1 PointBlank Hardware 
The PointBlank hardware additions to the DDP2431 and DDP2230 reference designs are shown 
in 
Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively. They include a PointBlank FPGA inserted between the 
DDP ASIC and the DMD, a RF radio transceiver and some changes to the GPIOs. Due to the 
additional software memory required for the PointBlank functionality either SRAM or SDRAM is 
required for DDP2230 and SRAM is required for DDP2431.
