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.
High Performance HD2+ DMD™
Naturally, Yamaha equipped the DPX-1100
with the latest DMD device, HD2+, which
has narrow mirror gaps and no center pivot
mark, improving
contrast over the
previous version. In
addition, video
processing is 10-bit
from A/D conversion
through to DMD
output.
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. Better color balance
contributes to a 30%
improvement of
actual brightness at
D65 (the white
reference color
standard), compared
to the previous
Yamaha projector.
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 RGB
mode, which allows adjustment of the red,
green and blue colors by specifying x and y
values for each (yellow, cyan and magenta are

Digital Cinema Projector
The DPX-1100 incorporates a new high resolution lens and a wide range of advanced video technologies to deliver extraordinary video
performance. Contrast is an incredible 4,000:1, brightness is 800 ANSI lumens, picture sharpness is outstanding and color reproduction is
stunningly natural. In short, if you want to watch movies with the full visual impact the directors aimed for, this is the projector to choose.

The previous DPX-1000 has been
honoured with an EISA Award for
High-End AV Product 2003-2004.
The prestigious EISA Awards are chosen by media

With other projectors,
black contrast may be
soft and fuzzy rather
than sharp and clear.
Yamaha Natural Black makes
subtle degrees of black in
textures, shadows and so on
stand out more clearly.
