The standard motorised projection lens is a
large-diameter all-glass assembly with 16
elements in 13 groups. It is made by Fujinon
Corporation, noted for their quality projection
lenses. The lens minimises chromatic
aberration effects and delivers maximum
resolution by ensuring that individual pixels
are all in focus on-screen. The 2x zoom
capability permits a large, bright image even
in smaller environments that do not allow for
longer projector-to-screen distances.
The projector also includes a special vertical
stretch facility for the display of extra-wide-
screen images with the addition of a third-
party lens assembly. Most projectors obtain a
2.35:1 aspect ratio simply by masking off the
top and bottom of the display area with black
bands (letterboxing). This inevitably reduces
the image resolution, brightness and contrast,
as a significant number of available
display pixels are not being used. In the case
of the MF10, the image is expanded vertically
to facilitate the use of all 2,073,600 pixels
in the display engine, dramatically increasing
brightness and contrast.
To make positioning of the projector in an
installation as easy as possible, the MF10
offers ±80% vertical and ±34% horizontal
lens shift, and the unit may be table or
ceiling mounted. Ease of installation is
further enhanced by the front intake/exhaust
arrangement of the low-noise fan system,
which leaves only interconnects on the rear
panel. In addition, the lamp is easily accessed
via a side panel wherever the projector is
mounted.
The projector features HDMI 1.3 inputs,
allowing 225MHz bandwidth and billions
of colours, enhanced resolution and higher
frame rates. The connectors are widely-
spaced to allow the easy connection of
professional cabling. The multiple input
capability of the MF10 makes it particularly
easy to install in a wide variety of systems.
A Meridian DVD player like those in the
800 or G Series can drive the MF10 directly
via HDMI, and there are also component,
S-Video and composite analogue inputs.
Alternatively, a processor like the Meridian
DVP1080 can be used, offering superior
quality scaling, de-interlacing and up-
converting of a wide selection of analogue
and digital inputs. The MF10 can also be
used with other processors.
