• Incorporates the latest DMD
TM
element -- HD2+ (1280 x
720 pixel, 16:9 wide panel). Using an optimized system
for movie viewing with specially designed image circuits
and optical parts, the VP-12S3/VP-12S3L bring high color
reproduction with the pitch black of movie films that

that greatly improves color purity.
• New developed 7-segment color wheel that builds an ND
filter into a large 98 mm 3-primary color wheel for theater
projection.
