The system controlled Lamp Iris can also be independently opened and closed by degrees to dynamically affect the amount of light sent through the light engine to the LCD panels Also called a "projection panel," it is a data projector that accepts computer output and displays it on a see-through liquid crystal screen that is placed on top of an overhead projector. See data projector. . By digitally mapping incoming frames to determine the correct position of the Lamp Iris, a 5000:1 contrast ratio can be achieved. The HDPJ52 also includes Hitachi's exclusive nine-step gamma curve adjustment feature for attaining proper black levels and picture mode presets to optimize the picture quality for specific programming types and customized to suit the specific viewing environment. And regardless of the ambient light conditions of the room, the HDPJ52 projector delivers optimal brightness to ensure the best possible picture quality. Hitachi's proprietary Super-Focus Quattro ELD Lens technology enables the HDPJ52 to be placed off-axis from the center of the screen without requiring digital correction. The lens system itself shifts the image both vertically and horizontally to reproduce 720p high-definition images with exceptional detail and sharpness. Extensive imaging features include a 1.6x optical zoom Changing the focal length of a camera by adjusting the physical zoom lens. All zoom lenses in film cameras and digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are optical zoom. Digital point-and-shoot cameras as well as consumer and prosumer video camcorders have optical zoom, but they also that, when combined with the 3 Panel 720p LCD light engine, can create an image up to 300 inches with clarity and enhanced brightness. This front projector features a resolution of 1280 x 720, 3:2 film processing, 1,200 Lumen lumen: see photometry. A unit of measurement of the amount of brightness that comes from a light source.
