Picture
High-Performance Lenses
Using Delta 77/78 lens, the undisputed industry standard in optics, the
high-performance lens system achieves more consistent edge-to-edge
brightness and contrast with a dramatically reduced focal length–result
is crisp, well-defined large screen images and slim cabinet design.
Digital Comb Filter
Digital circuitry clearly separates black and white detail from color data
virtually eliminating dot crawl and delivering unmatched, razor-sharp
picture performance with 800+ lines of horizontal resolution.
