modular design for ease of servicing
VistaPro 2000 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 1 kilowatt CERMAX
Xenon lamp. This light is modulated by
three DMD (digital micromirror device) panels which each provide digitized red,
green, or blue color information. Light from the "ON" pixels of each panel is
reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a single front lens,
where the pixels are all superimposed to create a sharp full-color image.
The projector body is comprised of powder-coated aluminum and an ABS front
bezel. Covers can be removed as necessary for quick replacement of the lamp or
filter. The projector's modular internal design provides for ease-of-service and
minimal down-time.
