XV-Z12000 High Resolution HDTV Compatible Video/Data Projector, High 5500:1 Contrast Ratio, Mustang/HD2+ DLP chip, 16:9 HDTV resolution, 1280 x 720, 900 ANSI lumen, DVI/HDCP Terminal

High Contrast Ratio of 5500:1 from a newly designed F8 Optical Engine.

The XV-Z12000 employs cutting edge technology such as a cats eye lens shutter which eliminates unwanted light. In addition, the high-contrast optical engine co-developed with "Minolta Corporation" reduces the exposure down to F8, which helps produce darker blacks than ever achieved by conventional projectors. Also, the four anomalous dispersion glass pieces that make up the projection lenses provide high-performance image formation .

DMD Mustang/HD2+ DLP chip from Texas Instruments.

The XV-Z12000 uses the latest DMD™ HD2+ chip for dramatically improved effective light efficiency, providing outstanding performance with beautiful and precise reproduction of high-resolution 1280 x 720 pixel HDTV images.

Natural Color Reproduction that does Exeptionally well with red.

The high-power 270w lamp produces intense light that drives the colour wheel and helps reproduce colours as they were originally intended to look. Pulse Weight Technology assists in reproducing reds more efficiently by increasing power to the lamp as it passes through the red segments of the colour wheel. Even for red elements the XV-Z12000 can maintain light quantity, which tends to be lacking when using a high-pressure mercury lamp. The result is high-purity primary colours while maintaining the ideally balanced light quantity, bringing vivid but natural colour reproduction.

Dynamic Range of Rich Colours - ND Color Wheel.

In addition to six RGB filters, the seven-segment five-time speed ND colour wheel also uses a filter specifically for green. Inherently green is a colour of less brightness and our eyes are more sensitive to green than any other colour. Displaying green in a 10-bit resolution dramatically improves detail in dark images.

Sharp's Unique High Image Quality System to Optimize Robust Optical Perfofmance.

The XV-Z12000 is equipped with Sharp’s proprietary multi-functional digital image processing LSI. This LSI incorporates various image processing algorithms for generating high-quality images on DLP, liquid crystal, plasma and other stationary pixel display devices out of a wide range of video sources. With strong emphasis by Sharp on optimisation during development, resulting in this unique combination of LSI and DLP technology, the XV-Z12000 achieves the high-quality natural and detailed expression of movie film ambience.
