Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments’ first DLP™ partner and the original inno-
vator of the 3-chip DLP™ projector, proudly introduces the LIGHTNING 1080p 3D family.
Each new LIGHTNING 3D model employs the latest in dark chip, 3-chip DLP™ technology,
and include DPI’s exceptional RapidRig™ staging and stacking hardware with integrated
pitch, roll and yaw adjustments. When considered along with their 10,000 - 30,000 ANSI
lumen brightness and contrast performance up to 4000:1, the LIGHTNING 3D models are
the perfect imaging solutions for the most demanding large screen immersive applica-
tions, including: military simulation, scientific visualization, medical, chemical and geologi-
cal research, product engineering, commercial cinema and theme park attractions.
In addition to the active 3D capability, the LIGHTNING 3D models also include DP’s new
FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware that vastly
reduces the artifacts and image blur typically associated with rapidly moving displayed
content. The benefits of FastFrame™ are especially important for simulation environments
such as commercial and military flight training, and other applications where maintaining
the visual integrity of high-speed imagery is vital.
The LIGHTNING 1080p 3D projectors also incorporate DPI’s Hyper-Cooled lamp module,
one of our CoolTek™ innovations. Engineered with a proprietary, directional-flow reflector
mask and radial heat exchanger, the Hyper-Cooled module dramatically improves projec-
tor thermal characteristics and extends reflector life and lumen maintenance. In turn, these
operating benefits provide a significant reduction to the long-term cost of ownership, while
also enhancing component reliability.
Other key benefits of the LIGHTNING 1080p 3D products include:
• High Bandwidth input >120Hz active stereoscopic DVI with no need for frame
doubling. This capability extends the dynamic range up to 16 bit for improved
contrast and color gamut. Both single-pipe and dual-pipe 3D sources are supported.
• Dual Flash Processing™(DFP) – Supports users wishing to distribute 3D content via
more traditional, 60 Hz formats with the option to frame-double their sources within
the projector, via DFP. When this option is selected, the input signal, having been
processed and if necessary re-sized to map to the native resolution of the projector,
will also be frame-doubled to 120 Hz, and the doubled frames interleaved. This
produces imagery with the low flicker characteristics of a native 120 Hz source,
but without the infrastructure costs associated with distributing and switching
ultra-high bandwidth signals.
• Projector electronics which provide an interface to drive an infrared transmitter to
synchronize switching glasses with active displayed frames. The user can elect
either to pass through an external synch pulse, or to use the reference generated
internally by the projector. Adjustments are provided to accommodate the phase
and dead time characteristics of different switching glasses.
• FastFrame™ technology, a revolutionary combination of hardware and firmware
that provides user adjustments to vastly reduce the artifacts and image blur typically
associated with rapidly moving display content.
• DP’s NextGen electronics with class leading video de-interlacing. SD and HD
sources are processed using auto 3:2 and 2:2 extraction.
• Minimal video delay from input to screen - as low as 1 frame, depending on source.
• High bandwidth DVI inputs offer Single, Twin, Dual & Dual Twin DVI connectivity.
• ColorMax calibration capabilities, including enhanced seven-point color correction
for broader color space and accurate color alignment.
• DP’s CoolTek™ engineering, which delivers the highest lumen performance with the
lowest thermal (BTU) and noise level (dB) output.
• MultiBlend™ – an advanced soft-edge capability for seamlessly meshing arrays of
projectors to create displays with ultra-high resolution or unusual aspect ratios.
• Intelligent Lens Mount (ILM) - provides the ability for the user to program up to 10
distinct presets for lens zoom, focus and shift. The ILM presets can be assigned and
automatically recalled, by source and input.
