Description, Features
and Benefits
The Planar PD7170 has been engineered for the top quality picture
performance and installation flexibility heretofore associated with projectors
costing far more.
The PD7170 high-definition, 1280 x 720 native resolution, three-chip DLP™ light
engine features state-of-the-art technology for bright, pristine, high-definition
images.
The PD7170 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus
and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.82:1 to 2.28:1. For even greater
installation flexibility, four other lens options are available offering throw
distances ranging from 1.52 to 7.09 times the screen width.
The PD7170 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 PD7170
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.
