HDTV Home Theater Projectors
Next-generation, high-performance digital projectors for true
home theater enthusiasts, the H78DC3 (800 lumens) and H79
(1000 lumens) surpass the quality of some of the best analog
projectors at a fraction of the price, providing the most vivid,
clear, and immersive digital video experience possible.
Featuring DarkChip3 and DLP by Texas Instruments, they deliver outstanding
high contrast ratio of 4000:1(H78DC3) and 4500:1(H79) and native 720p resolution.
They offer proprietary 5x, 8-segment DVE (Dark Video Enhancement)
color wheel technology with additional dark segments for virtually
no dithering and even deeper level of black. Other features include a
100%-offset vertical lens shift that enables easy installation without
compromising image quality, and easy-to-use Universal Touch
Screen Remote that can manage up to 8 devices, including
projectors, TVs, VCRs, DVDs, CDs, tuners and AV receivers.
◆ HDTV native for viewing widescreen TV
signals
◆ 5x, 8-segment DVE color wheel technology
with additional dark segments
◆ Expanded connectivity includes DVI-I, BNC,
component and S-Video hookups
◆ Dual +12v trigger relay, RS-232 controls
◆ Remote control’s ability to assign macros of
up to 60 commands, including time delays
between two commands, and other
advanced features give installation profes-
sionals or an advanced user the ability to
program one-button easy access to a host of
different viewing scenarios.
◆ Advanced adjustability is offered through
on-screen display menus
◆ TI’s latest technology achieves both higher
brightness and deeper black levels by
“filling in” the area where the digital micro
mirror connects to its hinge – the so-called
“dimple”. In addition, the gap between the
mirrors is further reduced and the backing
to the mirrors is more light absorbent.
◆ Advanced Shield Design casing incorpo-
rates innovative use of baffles, preventing
unwanted light emissions while enabling
near silent operation at only 23dB (H79) or
25 dB (H78DC3).
