THX Certification

THX Certification THX Ltd. was founded by filmmaker George Lucas to improve the cinema and home entertainment experience through strict engineering standards and breakthrough technologies. THX has leveraged more than 25 years of filmmaking, cinema design and post-production expertise to partner with Anthem Electronics to engineer a best-in-class home theater projector.

With a strict focus on image quality and signal processing performance, THX certification promises that this Anthem Electronics projector is capable of presenting a wide range of video content at maximum resolutions with the correct color and luminance levels. In addition, THX has created a battery of signal processing tests that challenge the projector’s scaling, motion conversion and de-interlacing capabilities. This type of in-depth analysis predicts how the projector will present a variety of high definition and standard definition content.

The Anthem Electronics projector also features THX Movie Mode, a pre- calibrated video setting for watching movies on DVD, Blu-ray HD or broadcast television. This playback feature is designed to recreate the cinema experience at home by setting the display’s gamma, luminance, color temperature and other settings to mirror those used by filmmakers in post- production.
