Full HD Panel with High-Resolution Reproduction and Native 12000:1 High
Contrast Ratio – Incredible High-Quality Home Theatre Projector
Projection Flexibility
Short Throw Lens (Optical 1.35x Zoom Lens)
The newly developed Short Throw Lens achieves 100-inch large screen
projection even from the short distance of 4.1 m. In addition, the
projector can be mounted more flexibly with the 1.35X zoom lens.
Lens Shift Function for Easy Angle Adjustment
The Lens Shift Function allows you to vertically adjust the projection
height automatically. This feature is especially helpful when the
projector is mounted in a high location, or is not easily accessible.
A Variety of Interfaces for Multiple Entertainment
DVI-I Terminal and Two HDMI Terminals with HDCP
Use of DVI-I terminals, the interface for digital content compatible with
copy protection signals (HDCP), delivers all-digital projection from input
straight through to the projected picture without picture loss, which usually
occurs from A/D and D/A conversion or from digital cinemas using DLP
®
.
This also helps to build a home theatre computer environment using a DVI
output terminal for DVD entertainment. Plus, two HDMI terminals enable
simultaneous connection with the HDMI terminals on set-top boxes or high
performance DVD recorders for which HDMI is standard.

Variety of Interface
With a DVI terminal compatible with conventional players and
computers, the XV-Z21000 is equipped with three digital inputs
including two HDMI inputs in addition to various video inputs, such as
two component, S-video and composite inputs. It also employs a
trigger terminal that automatically operates an electric motorized
screen when the power is turned on and off.
High-Quality Picture Reproduction
12000:1 Native Contrast Ratio
Contrast ratio is usually derived by measuring the greatest value between
bright and dark scenes, but Sharp’s native contrast ratio is measured for
each individual scene frame. The XV-Z21000
therefore maintains a very stable contrast ratio
of 12000:1 regardless of scene light level. This
high ratio is produced from a dual-iris system
that has both input and output optical systems to
control light volume and precisely control optics.
Dual-Iris Mechanism with Three Modes
The XV-Z21000 uses a Dual-Iris Mechanism for its optical engine. The
mechanism features independent irises for adjusting illuminating conditions
and projecting images. Also, the
remote control can be used to
select from the high-contrast
mode, middle mode, and high-
brightness mode to match
screen conditions for watching
movies, sports, or other material.
Full HD Panel (1,920 x 1,080 pixels)
The XV-Z21000 provides Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixel high-resolution,
high-definition pictures with greater capability for large screen
pictures to prevent rough, grainy colours. And the panel is compatible
with next-generation digital broadcast systems.
1000 ANSI Lumen High Brightness
Incorporating Sharp optoelectronics technology, the XV-Z21000
provides 1000 ANSI lumen brightness in high brightness mode to enjoy
large-screen pictures.
Three Primary Colour/7 Segment 5x-Speed Colour Wheel
The specially designed RGB-only primary colour wheel for home theatre
achieves high-quality colour
reproduction and high contrast
ratio. And the colour wheel
capable of x5 speed by rotating
the colour wheel with 7-segment
colour at x2.5 speed renders
colour breaking imperceptible to
the human eye.
High-Quality Reliability
Long-Life High-Performance DLP
®
Picture
With DLP
®
technology minimally absorbing high-output light, the
projectors maintain uniform colour reproduction capability for a long period
of time. Also DLP
®
silicon chip formation with finely structured mirrors
provides stable performance and delivers high-quality pictures for longer
periods. The DLP
®
chip in the XV-Z21000 contributes to a long lifespan. In
addition, because there is no burn-in or remaining afterimage, the
projectors are ideal for
still picture projection
such as for guidance
board applications and
projecting CAD
images.
Sealed Optics
The optical mechanism of DLP
®
system projectors is sealed in its structure,
preventing dust, dirt and smoke from entering core parts of the optics.
