Yamaha Electronics Corporation, the leader in digital video reproduction, debuts its fifth generation DLP™ Digital Cinema Projector, the DPX-1300, to complement its line of high-end Audio/Video equipment.

Built from a foundation of successful high-performance projectors such as the DPX-1200 and DPX-1100, the DPX-1300, equipped with the 720p DarkChip3TM DMD, uses narrow mirror gaps and an improved coating for superb contrast and color uniformity to deliver a memorable home entertainment performance.

Designed for discerning home theater enthusiasts, the DPX-1300 provides an incredible 5000:1 contrast ratio and brightness levels of up to 800 ANSI lumens with sharp yet natural color reproduction. The projector uses newly-designed 10-bit video signal processing from A/D conversion through to DMD output. The digital video processing device features high performance HQVTM (Hollywood Quality Video) technology with ultra-speedy operations processing and a programmable video array processor from Silicon Optix, providing 3:2 Pull-Down detection type IP conversion that can handle 1080i HD signals.

The Realta HQV device encompasses true 10-bit video processing, full four-field motion adaptive video de-interlacing for both standard definition and high definition signals, temporal-recursive noise reduction, automatic multi-cadence detection, and pixel-based detail enhancement. It also utilizes the same video processing power—1 trillion operations per second— as the famous $60,000 Teranex Xantus box. In addition to powerful video processing, the Realta device incorporates an advanced scaling engine that uses as many as 1024 taps to scale resolutions up and down, as well as for correcting extreme keystone angles in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
