Accompanied with a 200W SHP lamp RealityExpansion™ assembly a large improvement on brightness is realized. This The GF9351 uses 10-bit processing for all signal processing, a brings the viewer unprecedented black levels, contrast ratio, technique called RealityExpansion™. 10-bit processing and even better low level accuracy than before, making produces exceptionally better gradation than typical 8-bit shadow details more visible and rivaling film in its dynamic processing, raising the number of colors to a higher order of range. The 16:9 aspect ratio of the panel has got a substantial magnitude from 16.77 million to more than a billion. With the advantage over the 4:3 panel especially for handling increase number of possible colors the reproduce pictures widescreen sources. Not only for the film originated materials, appears much more natural. TV is also moving towards 16:9 aspect ratio with HDTV in the scope. In addition, a widescreen panel, is free from the 'Halo FidelityEngine™ Effect' which caused by 4:3 DMD panel when it is projecting Detail emphasis and noise reduction are provided by what is other than 4:3 images. called the FidelityEngine™. This technology cuts noise without reducing the sense of picture resolution. For Gennum Video Processing low-resolution images that are not sharp, the FidelityEngine™ The crowning achievement on this VP-15S1 is a completely adds emphasis to details, producing clarity. new video processing engine. This new processing chip was developed by Gennum (specifically for the VP-15S1) and is New customized optics the most powerful video processor ever included in a video Furthermore, a new lens was added to the already legendary display device—consumer or professional. Gennum’s GF9351 and award winning lineup of optics from Konica-Minolta. 10-bit image processing system-on-a-chip (SoC) sets new This new lens is a middle throw distance lens in compared to benchmarks for video realism and processing flexibility. The the previous available lenses. The VP-15S1 is featured with a GF9351 features Gennum’s latest de-interlacing algorithms custom ground and 14-element lens, specially designed with with dynamic edge detection and film mode processing for two elementary things in mind: contrast and image quality. All both HDTV and SDTV interlaced formats. Content adaptive lenses are finished by multi-coating treatment, eliminating noise reduction & detail enhancement algorithms remove any excessive glare. The fully sealed optics is assembled in a unwanted noise while improving image detail for a cinematic clean room, ensuring consistently high-quality images HDTV experience. It offers true motion adaptive unaffected by dust throughout a long period of use.

The VP-15S1 is equipped with a special version of segment color wheel. This wheel is used for less dithering of the GF9351 bearing the Marantz logo. low level signals and keeping colors accurate at low signal Gennum calls the set of technologies offered by the GF9351 levels. It's built with two times RGB filters and one additional VXP, for Visual eXcellence Processing™. Broadly conceived, dark green filter. This will improve image quality especially VXP combines four technologies: TruMotionHD, FineEdge, in dark scenes and the overall color accuracy for natural PurePixel and FidelityEngine reproduction of images.

TruMotionHD High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) De-interlacing technology that makes input signals HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the progressive, converting them from non-interlaced to highest video quality from the source all the way to the interlaced sequentially. It is compatible with High-Definition display. It employs the same copy protection technology as signals (720p, 1080i, 1080p) as well, and it preserves the DVI and supports HDCP, only exchanging signals with units high-resolution effect after progressive conversion. certified compatible. The outlets of HDMI terminals are TruMotionHD also reduces chroma upsampling error caused slightly smaller than those of DVI terminals. The HDMI is by MPEG decoders of DVD players. backward-compatible with DVI. Marantz gives the consumer full digitalized interconnection from source to display. The future is now. Sealed optical path and silent construction Bypacked accessories The chassis of the VP-15S1 is made of aluminum casting to prevent electro-magnetic interferences and to provide a - User manual good grounding point for the electric circuitry. The path of the air flow is carefully engineered to suppress the fan - Power cable noise. This solid construction also works as a secondary sealing of the light path to prevent any light leakage. Noise - Remote control cancellation elements such as the cabinet structure as well as sealing the color wheel motor make the VP-15S1 - Batteries extremely quiet. - Marantz BUS adapter cable Extensive Controls for Flexible Installation The VP-15S1 has a control section that was designed specifically with the high-end custom installer in mind. Not only are there discrete codes for every function of the projector, there are numerous ways to control it as well. In addition to the IR from either the front or rear panel, the projector can also be hardwired for IR and even RS232C control. 2 DC triggers allow a screen to go up/down automatically by turning on/of the VP-15S1 and two panels to drop down on the sides of a 16:9 screen, whenever NORMAL is selected on the remote for watching 4:3 content.!

Mounting One of the most critical aspects to ensure the best results from the VP-15S1 is to mount it properly. To achieve a perfectly proportioned picture the exact throw distance needs to be determined. The FOCUS pattern function allows you to focus the image on the screen and position the projector properly by use of the lens shift, zoom control and throw distance. If mounted above or below the screen, the then you will have to tilt up or down in order to have the image line up to the screen, in which case keystone correction will be needed.
