Auto Dimming Mode
Adjust brightness depending on picture, The darker
the picture, the less energy used by the lamp. (Max
70% Lamp power reduction based on image).
ECO Picture Mute - (Instant off / Instant On)
New Picture Mute reduces power consumption down
to 30% power usage, saving cost and lamp hours. No
need to power complete off and turn back on that
does increase power consumption and time
consuming.
Eco Gauge
At time of projector shut down an ECO achievement
indication (gauge) appears to show the user how well
they have used their projector. The more Eco features
used, the better the ECO green leaf mark. (Calculated
by use of Eco Functions and actual lamp wattage)
Vertical Keystone Adjustment
The projector can correct keystone distortion by +/-
30% for perfect installation adjustment to the smart
board or screen. (Note that since this is an electronic
correction, it will reduce the picture quality slightly).
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)
When a computer is used as a picture source, APA
automatically optimises Phase, Pitch and Shift values.
These can also be adjusted manually.
Auto Input Search
Auto Input Search detects which input has an incom-
ing signal, and automatically switches to it. This
makes it easier for users to set up the projector prior
to making a presentation.
Picture Muting
If the picture needs to be turned off, all it takes is a
single button-press on the remote control. This will
mute audio at the same time. There is also a separate
“mute audio” button for audio-only muting.
Audio switcher facility
To avoid the need for a separate audio switcher, the
projector can be used to select between two audio
sources, routing them via a variable audio output to
the room amplification system.
Picture Freeze Function
Picture Freeze is useful during presentations if you
need to look at other material on your PC’s screen
without the viewing audience being aware. Freeze the
current image, and you can use your PC independ-
ently of the display from the projector.
Digital Zoom
With Digital Zoom, if you are displaying a computer-
sourced image, you can enlarge a selected area of the
screen image up to four times.
Off and Go
At the end of a presentation, you can turn off the
power supply to the projector immediately, instead of
going through a ‘power down’ cycle.
Direct Power On/Off
With this function, there is no need to go through
‘Standby’ mode when powering up the projector. The
projector can be set to activate as soon as power is
applied.
Filter replaced at the same time as lamp
The filter only needs to be changed when a new lamp
is fitted, potentially halving disruption due to
maintenance.
Multiple Picture Modes
The VPL-DX120 has six picture modes (Dynamic,
Standard, Game, Blackboard, Cinema and Presenta-
tion) that can be selected to suite the nature of the
source material.
