ProjectionDesign F3+SXGA+

The new and updated projectiondesign F3+ builds on the world’s most powerful single chip DLP™ projector, and has become even more powerful! With new, high power 300W UHP™ lamps, the implementation of projectiondesign RealColor colour management, and updated features, it performs better than ever. Designed to meet requirements in professional imaging solutions, such as public displays, medical imaging, control rooms and visualization and simulation solutions, the F3+ features 1400 x 1050 pixel resolution DLP™ technology, and fully configurable brightness at up to 6500 ANSI lumens.

1400 x 1050 pixel resolution provides the most detailed images of any DLP™ projector available. Ideal for visualisation, simulation and medical imaging, the F3+ easily resolves the finer detail of specialty graphics, such as XRay and MR, CAD/CAM and design, and for instance oil and gas reservoir 3D modelling and visualisation. The F3+ provides very high visual resolution display for immersive simulation. Compared to XGA resolution, SXGA+ provides almost double the amount of pixels for a truly seamless image. With support for 1600x1200 and even higher resolutions the F3+ becomes near “resolution less”, and as close to a continuous analogue image as possible.

RealColor colour management
RealColor is a proprietary and highly accurate colour management system for projectors. It allows the user to correctly and easily calibrate and set up a projector to a desired white point and grey scale tracking with a minimum amount of effort. By characterizing every single projector in the factory, knowing it's electrical and optical properties, it provides tools for matching and calbrating any number of projectors in a single application.

24/7 continuous operation
The F3+ is built to operate in heavy duty and continuously run applications, such as control rooms and public displays. Using DLP™ technology – known for its long term stability and reliability – the F3+’s patented DuArch™ architecture features dual lamps, dual colour wheels, and dual light formatters. This lowers wear on each individual component by reducing heat and mechanical wear. In addition, cooling and mechanical design is built to very high standards, with over-specified fans for complete control.


Long lamp life – 6000 hours
The standard lamps delivered can be set to operate in automatic relay eco mode for long life of up to 6000 hours. The result is a very low cost of ownership, perfect for control rooms and other critical installations.

Dual, single and automatic lamp relay modes
The F3+ can be configured to run in full-power dual, long-life single, and automatic lamp relay modes. In automatic relay mode, lamps will alternate in operation to keep both lamps at the same performance level at all times. Lamp hours and usage is stored in the lamp, making performance checking easy in for instance rental applications.


Failsafe dual lamp architecture
The patented DuArch™ architecture features two high performance 300W UHP™ lamps accessible from the side of the projector. This allows easy lamp replacement while mounted, and reduces down-time during for instance service inspections. Lamps can be individually replaced while the projector is in operation, for no down-time at all.

The F3+ features direct RS232 and RS232 bus connectivity, with up to 128 devices connected to the same control console. It also features a dedicated TCP/IP interface, with a built in web page, and can be used with any type of system controller. For simpler set-ups, the backlit IR remote control features wired connection and individual ID settings, so it can be used to control a number of units individually, changing the ID of which one it controls at the click of a button.

High end video processing
For video processing, the F3+ features the highly regarded Faroudja® FLI2310 de-interlacing chipset. Compatible with both standard definition, and high definition analogue input sources, patented technologies such as 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown with bad edit detection, DCDi™ (Directional Correlational De-interlacing), cross colour suppression and TrueLife™ non-linear enhancement combine to create superb results, converting standard interlaced video to high resolution progressive scan images - free from artefacts, and with sharp, detailed pictures with deeply saturated colours.

Status monitoring
In order to secure functionality and up-time, the F3+ features a wide range of status monitoring features. The large, backlit LCD display on the rear displays all status information, from current source, to lamp status, operating hours, and all possible settings. There is also an incredibly useful and 100% failsafe visual inspection of lamps, so one can monitor which lamp is running, and in what mode the projector operates. Remotely, all status information can be retrieved over the dedicated TCP/IP connection, as well as over RS232.

To ensure faultless and trouble-free operation in unforgiving and harsh environments, the F3+ features a fully sealed optical architecture. Dust, smoke and other tiny particles are prevented from entering and contaminating the delicate light engine, thus will not alter the displayed image over time. In addition, it ensures the projector requires very little servicing and maintenance.
