Environment
Compliance with EU Directive RoHS1 Reduction of resin usage in production
Use of hot runners in molds for making upper housing in order to reduce mill ends.
1 RoHS is the acronym of “Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment”.

-Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
· The projected images and comparison photos in this catalog are simulations. · LCD panels, polarizers and other optical components and cooling fans may need replacement after prolonged usage. For more details, please consult a sales representative. · Do not use in places where there is a lot of water, dampness, steam, dust, soot or tobacco smoke. This may result in fire or malfunction. · Optical components (lamp, LCD panel, polarizing plate, PBS [polarizer beam splitter]) have limited service lives. They must be repaired or replaced if they are used for a long period of time. · These projectors use a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. Because of its properties, this lamp may burst with a loud noise or burn out if struck or after it has been used for a period of time. The time until it bursts or burns out varies greatly according to differences between lamps and usage conditions. Turning the lamp’ s power on and off frequently shortens its service life.
· Optical components other than the lamp: If the projector is used for six hours or more per day, they may need to be replaced in less than a year. · LCD panel: If the projector is used continuously for six hours or more, its replacement cycle may be shortened. · Do not turn projector on again for ten minutes after shutdown. Neglect can shorten the lifetime or the lamp. During use and immediately after use, do not touch anywhere near the lamp and the vents as these parts are extremely hot. · Each product may have differences of color, brightness and focus due to manufacture variation. · Windows®, Internet Explorer®, Excel® and PowerPoint® are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. · Adobe, Acrobat, Flash and Reader are registered trademarks of Adobe Systems

IMAGE OPTIMIZER

This function makes pictures look more real by enhancing (1) Shade, (2) Sharpness and (3) Gloss to make pictures clear. You can also adjust the effects by three levels according to your surroundings, video contents, etc.

Equipped with IMAGE OPTIMIZER that maintains visibility of an image through automatic image correction in accordance with lamp consumption.
· This function may not work properly when HDCR/ACCENTUALIZER is ON.

The entire image becomes dark.

Dark parts of the image becomes clear.

HDCR (High Dynamic Contrast Range)

When average projectors are used in bright rooms, the darker colors of an image deteriorate and images become unclear. Using this function, blurred images caused by room lighting or outside light sources are corrected, and an effect similar to increasing contrast occurs. This results in clear images even in bright rooms.

DICOM® Simulation Mode
The DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Simulation Mode projects grayscale images which approximate DICOM® Part 14 specifications. This mode is ideal for viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, for training and educational purposes.
The projectors have a DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Simulation Mode. This mode simulates the DICOM® standard, which is a standard applicable to digital communications in medicine, and is useful for displaying medical images such as X-rays. These projectors are not medical devices and are not compliant with the DICOM® standard, and neither the projector nor the DICOM® Simulation Mode should be used for medical diagnosis. * Comparison photos are simulations.

Reduced Glare and Shadows
These projectors feature Ultra Short Throw, for projecting a 2m (80inches) image from only 54.9cm (21.6inches)*1 onto a wall or screen. Ultra Short Throw greatly reduces glare from the projector’ s light source, making it easier for the teacher or presenter to see the audience. The audience also has a clearer view because the shadows of the teacher’s or presenter’s hands and body are little cast on the projection image. The result is a better classroom or meeting room experience for everyone.

Saver Mode
This feature developed by Maxell reduces the projector lamp brightness and consumption power, resulting in considerable energy savings. Set the Saver mode time from 1 to 30 minutes, and if the projected image does not change in that time, Saver mode activates. Saver mode can also be activated manually.

During a presentation using the screen.

Darken the screen with the remote control while the presenter speaks.

The screen automatically turns dark when not in use during group discussions.

Intelligent Eco Mode
This feature developed by Maxell automatically changes the brightness of the lamp according to the level of the input signal. Lamp brightness is reduced when a darker image is projected, and returns to normal when a brighter image is projected, eliminating unnecessary energy consumption from the lamp.

High Reliability and Stability

Easy Maintenance
The lamp door and the filter cover are located on the top and the side, facilitating maintenance and replacement even when the projector is installed on the ceiling.

Hybrid Filter
The hybrid filter is composed of an unwoven cloth and a static electrode filter, protecting the optics from dust, dirt, and chalk particles. The filter can last up to 4,000 hours*1 without cleaning.
This is an estimate of the acceleration test performed under the condition of 50mg/m³ suspension dust concentration using JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) standard powder. Cleaning intervals varydepending on the useenvironment.

3LCD chips with Inorganic Alignment Layers
These Maxell 3LCD projectors incorporate three LCD panels with inorganic alignment layers that are light resistant, increasing brightness and contrast ratio. They provide smooth images and high reliability.
