Marantz has announced the debut of a new projector, dubbed the VP-11S2 DLP projector.
Marantz’s new VP-11S2 high-definition DLP front projector features Texas Instrument’s DC4 chip, which boasts increased brightness and significantly higher contrast than the current DLP chip sets; and HDMI 1.3 inputs with Deep Color capability.
The projector also includes the Gennum GF9351 chip, a programmable video processor that can perform calculations on the order of 500 million floating point operations per second. Featuring both standard and long-throw lens options, and can be retrofitted for use with Marantz’s optional anamorphic lens systems.
“The VP-11S2 is truly the next generation in DLP projectors: a cinema quality display device that rivals professional grade projectors,” commented Marcel Mukerjee, National Sales Director at Marantz Canada.
Boasting a die-cast aluminum chassis, the VP-11S2 also provides HD component video, S-video, composite video and analog RGB connections; and has a vertical lens shift that allows it to be placed well above the top of the screen. The projector also offers remote in/out connections, RS-232C serial control ports, and two DC trigger connections that can trigger two independent operations. This, explains Marantz, allows the projector to reconfigure a dual-aspect ratio projection screen whenever the aspect ratio of the program source changes from 16:9 to 4:3, for example.
The on-screen menu system aids in set-up, and provides calibration facilities like colour temperature and gamma adjustments. Optics are provided by Konica-Minolta, with customized colour filters are optimized to match the spectral characteristics of the 200 Watt DC SuperHighPressure lamp assembly. The colour wheel itself spins at 10,800 RPM. A specially designed Quiet Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor supplies virtually silent operation.
