Dramatically improved colour reproduction
Projectors using conventional DLP® technology generally employ a four-segment colour wheel (RGB+W). BrilliantColor™ adopts a six-colour wheel, and TAXAN adds C (Cyan) and Y (Yellow), which are used as primary colours in printing. This broader colour range enables far more realistic colour reproduction, especially of yellow and light blue hues.
Choice of colour balance best suited to the purpose
The PV100 Series offers a wide choice of software-based colour modes. Each mode is achieved by adjusting the illumination on different segments of the colour wheel (Variable Illumination). Users can choose the optimal colour balance for each particular purpose.
The PV100 Series is equipped with a mode-selection feature that works by changing the balance of illumination directed at each colour wheel segment. In "Presentation mode", brightness is enhanced by emphasizing RGB segments, while in "Graphics mode" the Y and C segments are highlighted to emphasize colour reproduction. These and other colour modes can be selected for different kinds of presentation situations.
The long-life lamp provides 4,000 hours of use
There is no need to worry about lamp failure even during long presentations. In addition, the trouble and cost of lamp replacement is minimized.
Designed for both ease of use and attractive appearance
Usability is emphasized throughout. An example is the use of large buttons on the top of the projector for all the main operations, with icons clearly indicating their functions.
Menus designed for usability
Two menu levels are provided, based on frequency of use, for improved usability. Descriptions are displayed for each menu item, enabling operations to be performed without confusion.
Buttons laid out for easy operation
Buttons are provided for direct control of commonly used features, such as screen blanking and colour mode switching, making convenient functions readily available. Moreover, these direct-operation buttons are located at the lower part of the remote controller while the buttons for menu screen operations are at the upper part.
Separating buttons visually in this way makes their operations easier to recognize and remember.
Connectors enabling extended features
Connectors on the rear panel are provided for PC input (×2), display output, RS232C, S-Video input, and VIDEO connector, thereby allowing a wide variety of presentation styles.
Connect two PCs at the same time
With two computer input connectors, two PCs can be hooked up to the projector simultaneously. Input can be switched on the go, without plugging and unplugging. This feature allows a wide variety of presentation possibilities, such as using one PC for slides and one for video.
Remote control of projector
The RS232C control connector can be used to operate the projector from a PC.
Output images from the projector to a separate display
A monitor output connector is useful for direct output of images from the projector to a separate display or another projector, even as they are being projected on the screen.
Enjoy movies and home videos on a large screen
Two video input connectors are provided, for S-Video and VIDEO connector, and by using the projector to show DVD or video movies you can enjoy the large-screen impact of a cinema.
Lens shutter with image muting
A lens shutter is used in place of a lens cap. Besides protecting the lens, the shutter can be used to pause and resume presentations without turning off the power; plus there is no need to worry about misplacing the lens cap.
Quiet operation, with low-noise fan
Operation is exceedingly quiet, meaning presentations can be enjoyed without the distraction of fan noise.
Compact, lightweight design for easy transportation
The structurally simple DLP® optics, along with high-density packaging technology refined over years of developing mobile projectors, have made possible a truly compact design. Weighing a mere 1.9kg, this projector is ideal for in-company meetings or presentations outside the office.
