"Natural Black" Concept
To provide superior contrast, Yamaha developed the Natural Black concept, combining advanced technologies, parts and functions to achieve truer, deeper levels of black than ever before.

Black reproduction by DPX-1100 and conventional projectors.
Yamaha Natural Black makes subtle degrees of black in textures, shadows and so on stand out more clearly. With other projectors, black contrast may be soft and fuzzy rather than sharp and clear.

Taking Projector Performance to a New Level
The DPX-1100 makes use of a wide range of new technologies to deliver extraordinary video performance. Contrast is an incredible 4,000:1 and brightness is 800 ANSI lumens.

High Resolution Lens
A new high resolution lens maintains resolution sensitivity to the edge of the lens. Four anomalous dispersion glass components decrease chromatic aberration while maintaining a short focal point and high zoom magnification.

Latest DMDTM HD2+ Device
The projector is equipped with the latest DMD HD2+ device, which uses narrow mirror gaps to improve contrast. Video processing is 10-bit from A/D conversion through to DMD output.

Seven-Segment Color Wheel
Yamaha debuts the use of a seven-segment color wheel, with an ND filter-equipped green segment having been added to the previous wheel. The seven-segment structure reduces dither, while color reproduction is excellent, with greens especially being more true to life than ever.

Color Balance System
There are three Color Balance modes: Standard, RGB for adjusting three colors, and RGBYCM for adjusting six colors. There are also six memory presets for storing personal adjustments.

Mounting Flexibility
Mounting the DPX-1100 is easy and versatile. Lens-to-screen distance can be anywhere from 9 ft. 10 in. to 15 ft. 9 in. (100” screen) thanks to the powerful 1.6x zoom lens. And the projector can be used at any height between the top and bottom of the screen.

Six User Preset Memories
There are six memory positions for storing different combinations of parameter settings, and each can be used for two input signals, making a total of 12 memory conditions.

Other Convenient Functions
Other features include Smart Zoom for projecting 4:3 broadcasts onto a full 16:9 screen, Cinema Zoom with Zoom Up and Zoom Out for eliminating bars on the top and bottom of the 16:9 screen, selectable video scan, HDMI terminal, operation status lock, lamp power selector and automatic aspect conversion.

High Performance LCD Panels
The LPX-510 uses LCD panels capable of projecting high resolution 720p HDTV images and 10-bit video processing gives it the ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colors. 16:9 aspect ratio compatibility means that wide screen movies can be viewed in their entirety.

3D Linear Color Balance
The 3D Linear Color Balance function maintains the proper balance between the three signals from the LCD panels, adjusting color irregularities through a range of 15,360 correction points for accurate color in any type of scene.

Lens Shift, Motorized Iris and Zoom
Vertical and horizontal lens shift capability means that the projector does not have to be positioned directly in front of the screen. The motorized iris control can be used to improve contrast and focusing, and the motorized Zoom will expand the image up to 1.5 times.

Cinema Balance Filter
The LPX-510 introduces a new Cinema Balance Filter that enhances color reproduction when viewing in a dark room, such as typically used for movies. It is an optical filter so dynamic range is not affected.

ALIS Method Panel Technology
This plasma display panel uses an ALIS (Alternate Lighting of Surface) Method to deliver a sharp, clear picture with the smooth, high-definition quality you see in a movie theatre. The ALIS Method employs a screen surface comprised of vertical channels of continuous phosphor material. The pixels are defined electronically rather than physically, allowing each picture element to be smaller than normal. This creates a higher pixel count for a smoother, seamless picture, with edges and curves clearly defined. The PDM-4210 uses the latest ALIS Method technology, which features new plasma gas and luminescent material that are more effective than previous types. The result is a brighter picture (1,100 cd/m2) and higher color temperature, which makes white areas such as clouds in the sky stand out more vividly. The panel can also display a wider range of colors (16.7 million), with enhanced color purity.

Natural Black Drive System
The Natural Black Drive System automatically determines the brightness of the screen and applies the gray scale (contrast) best suited to the scene in order to reproduce both bright and dark areas with small details clearly visible. The contrast ratio is an outstanding 1,000:1, making it possible for the PDM-4210 to deliver sharp, natural-looking images.

Digital Linear Color Control
Digital Linear Color Control continually maintains the ideal balance between the three main colors (red, green, blue) for optimum color reproduction in every scene from very dark to very bright. The sharpness and tint of each color are independently controlled, so you can adjust tint more precisely.

HDTV Capability
The PDM-4210 is fully HDTV capable, meaning that 1080i high definition images can be displayed line for line without vertical scaling. The 1,024 x 1,024 resolution provides a completely clean HDTV picture, with no noise at the edges.
