The "AVCHD" is an HD digital video camera recorder format recording 1080i*1 and 720p*2 signals onto certain media by using highly efficient codec technologies. The "AVCHD" is jointly established by Panasonic, the brand name for which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is known and Sony Corporation.

*1 :1080i one of HD specifications that has 1080 efficient scanning lines by interlace method
*2 :720p one of HD specifications that has 720 efficient scanning lines by progressive method

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.

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.

Anchor Bay Technologies' ABT1010 scaler engine that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to further improve the picture quality on high resolution displays (to 1080i/720p with HDMI output).

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.

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.

Invented and patented by Faroudja, Directional Correlational De interlacing (DCDi), virtually alleviates jagged oblique lines that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on progressive scan displays, enabling the reproduction of beautiful, natural-looking moving images.

720P DarkChip3™ Engine This DLP chip is Texas Instruments’ most advanced Digital Micro Mirror Device. As the name implies, it provides deeper blacks, while improving contrast in dark areas. 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.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. With the ability to deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or A/V receiver and a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single cable.

Depending on the model of product, HDMI can support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It can support all currently-available compressed audio formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS) and most newer HDMI devices can support lossless digital audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.

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.

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.

New 10-Bit Video Signal Processing Designed for discerning home theater fans, the DPX-1300 utilizes 10-bit video signal processing from A/D conversion all the way through to DMD output. In addition, the newest HQV technology from Silicon Optix Inc. has been adopted to enable programmable per-pixel processing. Plus, at high-definition TV resolution, high-level deinterlacing processing (1080i to 1080p) is performed is performed at the pixel level. Complex cadences are handled with ease, not only with 3:2 pulldown, but also with broadcast film and animation programing, for smooth, stable de-interlacing. Other remarkable technologies include highly detailed scaling processing, jaggy line reduction for HD sources. To further improve DVD or SD TV picture quality, powerful Digital Video Noise Reduction minimizes mosquito noise and block noise. An Overshoot Suppressor is more natural outlines in images.

The IDT HQV® Vida™ processor enhances image detail and quality with four-field motion adaptive de-interlacing, multi cadence tracking, expanded 12-bit color processing and detail enhancement. The result transforms standard-definition sources to HD quality and makes HD look even more detailed. Moreover, the device also provides real-time clean up of highly compressed video, reducing compression artifacts of block and mosquito noise from lower-quality sources.

The HQV Vida incorporates two new IDT HQV technologies — Auto HQV™ and HQV StreamClean™ — which automatically enhance the incoming image and provide powerful clean-up of source video, allowing the picture to be as crisp and clean as possible.

Auto HQV enables hands-free adjustment to optimize image quality of content from different sources or content that varies in quality. Auto HQV analyzes the video content to adaptively adjust image and noise processing parameters to optimize image quality and reduce artifacts.

The latest offering from IDT HQV also features 14-bit internal processing and 12-bit output for deep color processing and 3D gamut conversion for xvYCC processing. These capabilities provide accurate conversion of regular and wide gamut content to the display’s native gamut. In addition, The VHD1900 features six axis color control, with independent adjustment of any color’s hue, saturation and intensity.

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.

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

This technology, from Analog Devices, uses oversampling and advanced techniques such as multi-bit sigma-delta processing and bitshuffling to improve converter performance by moving converter noise to an area of the spectrum where it can be removed by an analog filter. This improves the accuracy of signal representation, allowing images to be displayed at much higher resolutions.

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.

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.

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.

The from the latest DPX models make 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.
