Replacing the popular PLV-Z2000, the new PLV-Z3000 offers SANYO's
proprietary TopazReal HD technology, which includes 14-bit digital
processing and the real-focus HD lens system. TopazReal HD is a 3D color
management system that address changes in color phase and color level to
obtain perfect color reproduction, producing 1110 times more color
combinations than 720p projectors, approximately 216 billion color
combinations. This new color management system was designed to optimize the
potential of Deep Color via the projectors two HDMI 1.3 inputs.
The PLV-Z3000 is the industry's first projector with a 5:5 pull-down
mode, featuring 'Dynamic Predictive Frame Interpolation Technology' that
utilizes speeds of 120Hz to increase the smoothness in video reproduction,
even for scenes with extreme motion. This is accomplished by doubling the
frame rate from 60 fps to 120 fps using interpolation frame generation
technology. The interpolation technology predicts the motion differences
between frames and generates five interpolated images to fill the gaps.
This fast image processing improves overall resolution and eliminates
motion artifacts. It also provides accurate reproduction of 24 fps source
material, particularly from HD television broadcasts, allowing the look and
feel of movie theater-quality from everyday broadcast programming.
Rated at 1200 ANSI lumens, the PLV-Z3000 is capable of an incredible
65,000:1 contrast ratio for superlative black levels and jet-black color
reproduction, especially when ambient light is present. SANYO also
introduces a new optical engine that incorporates an additional optical
compensating plate to minimize polarized light leakage, which increases
contrast ratio.
Outfitted with the industry's most advanced lens shifting function, and
coupled with the projector's short throw capability and 2x zoom, the
PLV-Z3000 creates a large screen image in any size room and from virtually
any location. The lens shifting function allows wide-range vertical
shifting to three screen sizes and horizontal shifting to two screen sizes.
The design is capable of projecting a 100-inch diagonal image from 10 to 20
feet away, making the PLV-Z3000 extremely suitable for average size home
theaters.
The PLV-Z3000 is equipped with a quiet fan, a large aperture, low noise
Sirocco cooling type that never rises above 19dB in the economy mode. It
promotes greater enjoyment by reducing noise levels during quiet passages
of a film or television. This is critical because a high performance 1200
lumen projector can generate a tremendous amount of heat. At this level of
brightness, the fan is 'on' most of the time and the noise can be extremely
loud and disruptive, especially in smaller home theaters where the
projector and the audience are in close proximity.
"The PLV-Z3000, with SANYO's exclusive TopazReal HD feature set and
high contrast ratio, offers home theater users a new reference in high
performance, cost-effective 1080p projection, "says Mark Holt, the Vice
President and General Manager for SANYO's Presentation Technologies
Division. "The flexibility of installation due to our unique lens shifting
system and the short-throw distance makes the PLV-Z3000 an excellent choice
for home theater viewing."
