DLV 1280 accepts data/graphics and video input signals for projection onto flat
or curved front or rear projection screens. High brightness light is generated by
an internal 500 watt CERMAX
®
Xenon lamp. This light is collected and
transmitted by a system of optical components and sent to three DLV panels
responsible for either red, green or blue digitized video information. Light from
