With an unmatched combination of the finest video
technologies and superior convenience, the DPX-1100 takes
movie viewing to new heights of enjoyment.
The Yamaha Natural Black Concept
Even though you tend to notice the bright
colors, how a projector reproduces gradations
of black is extremely important. When you
watch a movie, shadows should stand out
from the background, black levels should be
solid even in dark scenes, and blacks should
maintain their depth when the scene
becomes brighter. Yamaha developed the
Natural Black concept, combining advanced
technologies, parts and functions, to achieve
truer, deeper levels of black than ever before.
High Resolution Lens
The DPX-1100 goes beyond the capabilities of
other projectors with the use of a new high
resolution lens that maintains extreme
resolution sensitivity all the way to the edges.
Four anomalous dispersion glass components
ensure negligible levels of chromatic
aberration while maintaining a short focal
point and high zoom magnification.

Seven-Segment Color Wheel
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 being more true to life than ever
(achieving the HD monitor “green” standard).
Green resolution is 10-bit, which also
improves the representation of black tones.

Faroudja TruLife Enhancer
The DPX-1100 incorporates
TruLife Enhancer technology
from Faroudja, one of the world’s top
developers of video technology. It ensures
that picture clarity is excellent, with clean,
sharp edges and details.
Color Balance System
The DPX-1100 offers three Color Balance
modes. The first is the Standard mode and
cannot be adjusted. The second is the WRGB
mode, which allows adjustment of the white,
red, green and blue colors by specifying x and
y values for each (yellow, cyan and magenta
are derived from the three main colors).
The third mode is WRGBYCM, which allows
each of the seven colors to be directly specified
by entering x and y coordinates. There are six
memory presets for storing personal
adjustments.
Color Temperature Adjustment
You can adjust the correlated color
temperature in 100K increments between
5,000K and 10,000K, in order to achieve
accurate color fidelity. A graph on the color
temperature menu facilitates this operation.
In order to maintain perfect color balance
when the settings are changed, automatic
color balance calculation and adjustment is
provided.

subtle degrees of black in
textures, shadows and so on
stand out more clearly.
