The Panel Alignment function allows the precise alignment of R/G/B images with zone specific adjustment to deliver a sharper, crisper picture. An exclusive Carl Zeiss® multi-element glass lens optimizes SXRD chip performance. The Anamorphic Zoom Mode works with an optional external anamorphic lens to allow 2.35:1 aspect ratio viewing. A high output Xenon cinematic lamp maintains ideal color temperature characteristics for natural and accurate color reproduction. Additional color features include RCP (Real Color Processing) and x.v.Color™ technology for further color refinement. The significantly improved native contrast characteristics of the three SXRD chips are dynamically enhanced by the Advanced Auto Iris 2 function for up to a 35,000:1 contrast ratio.
