Film-Like Quality with Yamaha Natural Black
As with the DPX-1100, Yamaha put a great
deal of effort into improving black
reproduction. Our Natural Black design concept
enables the LPX-510 to achieve much deeper
levels of black than conventional projectors.
High Performance LCD Panels, 10-bit
Processing, High Brightness
The LPX-510 uses three TFT Active Matrix LCD
panels capable of projecting high resolution
720p (1,280 x 720-pixel) HDTV images. It also
employs 10-bit video processing, giving it the
ability to reproduce 1.07 billion colors, while
16:9 aspect ratio compatibility means that
widescreen movies can be viewed in their
entirety, with the
correct perspective.
1,000 ANSI lumens
brightness allows the
projector to be used
even in relatively
bright rooms.
3D Linear Color Balance
Ideally, the three signals (R, G, B) from the
three LCD panels should have the same
linearity, but due to various factors, their
linearity continuously varies. The 3D Linear
Color Balance function helps maintain the
proper balance between them, adjusting color
irregularities through a range of 15,360
correction points (640 points x 8 steps x 3
colors) for accurate color in any type of scene
from dark to bright.
Cinema Balance Filter
The LPX-510 introduces a new Cinema
Balance Filter that enhances color
reproduction when viewing in a dark room,
such as typically used for movies. It reduces
the green level (and blue to a lesser degree),
and is an optical filter so dynamic range is
not affected. The filter moves to the on or off
position (motorized operation) according to
the Picture Mode, being on in the Standard,
Cinema, Cinema Black and PC modes.
Lens Shift, Motorized Iris and Zoom
Control
Vertical and horizontal lens shift capability
means that the projector does not have to be
carefully positioned directly in front of the
screen. Maximum range of movement is
100% vertically and 50% horizontally, much
greater than conventional projectors. You can
use the motorized iris control to improve
contrast and focusing, and to give the image
a more three-dimensional feel. The motorized
zoom control will expand the image up to 1.5
times to give you a closer view of the scene
and for projecting a 16:9 picture on a 4:3
screen. Settings can
be adjusted in six
steps (100%—75%)
and stored in the
picture memory.
There are also six
lamp power settings,
so the LPX-510
provides a total of 36
brightness variations.
Extensive Image Control
Six Picture Modes provide a variety of color
and brightness balance settings by adjusting
gamma values, the Cinema Balance Filter and
lamp power to optimize the picture for
varying home theater conditions. The six
modes are Dynamic, Bright, Standard, Cinema,
Cinema Black and PC.
DCDi Processing
Faroudja, one of the world’s
leading video technology
companies, developed the DCDi processing
used in this projector. It ensures smooth and
natural images without staircasing or jaggies.
Menus Put You in Total Control
On-screen menus present a wide range of
parameters that you can select for initial
setup and later adjustment. You can be sure
of achieving the best possible picture for all
conditions.
Lamp Power Selector
The multi-step Lamp Power Selector makes it
possible to adjust for optimum brightness and
contrast with different levels of room lighting and
video sources. Lower power settings will extend
lamp life, reduce power consumption and reduce
cooling fan noise.
Custom Installation Solutions
The DPX-510 facilitates custom installation with a
powerful DC12V, max. 200mA trigger out function.
Other Convenient Functions
• Smart Zoom for projecting 4:3
broadcasts onto a full 16:9 screen with
no distortion in the middle
• Selectable video scan (PC: 100%,
95%; Video: 95%, 92%)
• Six presettable memories
• Operation status lock (zoom, focus
and lens shift)
3D Linear Colour Balance
No 3D Linear Colour Balance
Yamaha Natural Black makes
subtle degrees of black in
textures, shadows and so on
stand out more clearly.
With other projectors, black
contrast may be soft and
fuzzy rather than sharp and
clear.
