Description, Features
and Benefits
The Planar PD8130/PD8150 has been engineered for the top quality 1080p
picture performance and installation flexibility heretofore associated with
projectors costing far more.
The PD8130/PD8150 Full-HD (1920 x 1080) native resolution DLP™ light engine
features state-of-the-art technology for bright, pristine, high-definition images at
today’s highest available resolution.
The PD8130/PD8150 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom,
focus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.85:1 to 2.40:1. For
installations requiring shorter throw distances, the PD8130/PD8150 is optionally
available with a lens that offers a throw range of 1.56:1 to 1.86:1.
The PD8130/PD8150 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science
Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Planar's
sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also
been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The
PD8130/PD8150 incorporates proprietary de-interlacing technology that
provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion for
the most artifact-free images possible.
Discrete infrared (IR) and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless,
while discrete power on/off and source selection accommodate any
automation control system.
