For over ten years, Meridian has been
developing and manufacturing award-winning
video products – from DVD players to
projectors – that, together with the company’s
advanced digital audio components, create
the Meridian Digital Theatre, offering the
highest quality reproduction of both image
and sound.
Now, Meridian takes the next step towards
perfecting the home viewing experience
with the introduction of the Meridian 810
Reference Video System.
The 810 system comprises two primary
elements: the Ultra High Definition 810
Reference Video Projector, an entirely new
D-ILA-based digital projector offering a
previously impossible 10 megapixels –
exceeding the resolution even of commercial
digital cinema projectors – and the 810
Reference Video Scaler, a special processor
designed to optimise the imaging of HD
and standard resolution inputs for the vast
new possibilities offered by a 10 megapixel
projection environment.
The result is a system that, Meridian believes,
represents the most realistic home theatre
performance in the world.
Using a brand new light engine, the Meridian
810 Reference Video Projector offers
an effective resolution of 4096 x 2400
pixels, or 9,830,400 pixels. In comparison,
a conventional HDTV image at 720p
represents just one megapixel, while full-spec
HD (1080p) is still only twice that.
The Meridian 810 Reference Video Projector
also has extremely high light output capability.
Powered by a PKI Xenon lamp, the projector
is capable of delivering up to 4000 lumens,
enough to light even the very largest grey
or white screen to the SMPTE standard
Hollywood reference level of 16 foot-
Lamberts reflected light.
In addition, the projector has a native contrast
ratio of 10,000:1, ensuring that even in
the most difficult scenes, such as those
combining bright light and shadow, detail is
never lost.
