    							FULLY DIGITALLY DRIVEN 3-PANEL 1920 X 1080P LCOSThe Anthem LTX 500 boasts a Native Contrast Ratio of 50,000:1, the
    highest available. With a Native Contrast Ratio of 30,000:1, the Anthem
    LTX 300 is no slouch either when it comes to simultaneously displaying
    the complete range of image contrast.
    Many manufacturers still employ the dynamic iris 
    (see left)
    in projector
    design, artificially boosting peak values (resulting in lighter blacks) and
    darkening black levels (thereby darkening peak values). In LTX projectors,
    the fully digitally driven 3-panel LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) engine
    delivers peak whites and deep blacks on the same picture field, without
    resorting to artificial means. Contrast is sharper and more vivid and color
    reproduction is extremely natural.
    Liquid Crystal on Silicon is a superb choice for home theater projectors
    because of its inherent ability to display smaller pixels in closer association,
    eliminating annoying visual artifacts like screen door effects. Unlike many
    projectors on the market, there is no color wheel or color dithering in
    Anthem projectors and no color rainbow effect, common on single-panel
    designs. Even on close ups, the picture is richer and smoother. 
    The LTX’s LCOS engine also employs three individual 0.7-inch color
    light panels (Red, Green and Blue) to deliver color light to the screen
    simultaneously and flicker free. 
    Highly efficient lamps in LTX projectors — a brightness of 900 lumens
    in the LTX 500 and 1,000 lumens in the LTX 300 — offer the brightest,
    smoothest, highest-resolution picture available. 
    2X ZOOM ALL-GLASS LENS WITH MOTORIZED FOCUS 
    AND AUTO DUST COVERSuitable for 60 to 200 (diagonal) screen sizes.
    The 2x zoom lens with motorized focus (controlled from the remote) makes
    setup and adjustment easy and convenient. 
    The large-diameter high-precision glass lens system features 17 separate
    elements in 15 groups, including 2 extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses
    to project a full and extraordinarily deep HD image. The high-precision
    lens also helps minimize color error — no unwanted “fringes” of color
    or color bleeding are visible to mar the boundaries between dark and
    bright sections of the image. Finally …
    Multi-step fixed-aperture brightness controls (sixteen-step in the LTX 500
    and three-step in the LTX 300) eliminate light leakage as well as allowingfor brightness adjustment to match personal preferences or ambient
    light
    levels.
    The motorized lens cover opens and closes with power ON/OFF, preventing
    dust and dirt from entering the lens. This is a particularly helpful feature
    if the projector is to be mounted to the ceiling.
    Motorized lens cover
    CUSTOMIZED ON-SCREEN GAMMA CONTROL  Adjust as you watch! Using the remote, the user is able to manually adjust
    the gamma curve to suit individual preferences or the room’s ambient
    lighting using the on-screen display. Essentially altering luminance levels
    “on the fly”, the user can increase the contrast or the brightness levels.
    Up to three settings can be adjusted and saved for future use.SUPERB GRAY SCALE REPRODUCTIONTo reproduce a more realistic image, gray scale can be adjusted manually
    and the changes observed immediately via the on-screen gamma curve
    graph. Dark areas can be raised and detail enhanced in bright white
    areas. Color reproduction can be easily adjusted to suit personal tastes
    since the three colors (R,G and B) can be individually adjusted using the
    on-screen display.
    ELECTRONIC LENS SHIFTAnthem’s LTX projectors are designed for easy installation. The
    motorized Lens Shift option (accessible using the remote) allows
    the user to move the lens horizontally or vertically within the
    projector housing to accommodate installation in even the most
    challenging situations.
    The ±80% Vertical Shift option allows the projector to be mounted
    above the screen, without having to invert it 
    (see left)
    . The ±34%
    Horizontal Shift offers additional flexibility in a wide range of
    situations 
    (also see left)
    . And all of this shifting happens without
    a hint of image compression or image conversion to adversely
    affect edge pixels. 
    If the lens must be positioned outside the coverage area, a Digital
    Keystone feature, which offers a ±30% vertical and ±40%
    horizontal adjustment, removes distortion, helping to make the
    images appear more natural.      50,000:1White

    							EXCEPTIONAL RENDITION OF COLORColor management in LTX projectors inserts colors individually in three
    separate axes of color phase, chroma saturation and brightness to ensure
    best possible color reproduction. The LTX 500 interpolates colors individ-
    ually by R,G,B,C,Y or M. Custom color setup can be done via the on-screen
    menu with the ability to save up to three customized color settings for
    future use.
    DUAL-FUNCTION 12-VOLT TRIGGERAllows the user to move the projection screen up or down, or open and
    close curtains, while power to the projector unit is turned off. A secondary
    trigger function can be menu-activated to control an optional motorized
    anamorphic lens in concert with the True-Fit
    ™wide screen mode so that
    movies in a 2.4:1 aspect ratio can be seen in their gloriously full width.
    (Available on LTX 500 only.)
    ILLUMINATED REMOTE CONTROLAll buttons on the remote light up when you push the light button, making
    it easy to operate in the room when the lights are turned off.
    TRUE-FIT
    TMWIDE SCREEN MODE 
    Wide “cinema style” image capability! Movies with a 2.4:1 aspect ratio
    can be seen in their gloriously full width (using all 1920 x 1080 pixels)
    and without letterbox bands or a compromise in image quality. The three
    LCOS panels ensure the expanded vertical image is perfectly adjusted for
    brightness and sharpness. The use of an optional anamorphic lens can
    stretch the image to fit its full extra-wide aspect ratio … all the while
    preserving image integrity.
    USER-REPLACEABLE LAMPReplacement is from the side … quick and easy!Lamp-life cycle: 2,000 hours.Contact Anthem Customer Service to replace lamp.1/2 price coupon for replacement lamp included.
    INSANELY FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION IN SO MANY WAYS …All connections are on the side panel … even if you can’t position the
    projector on the ceiling, you can install it directly against the back wall
    without worrying about leaving room for plugs and wires. In addition to 2 HDMI inputs, inputs also include 1 S-Video, 1 Composite
    and 1 Component Y-Pb-Pr (RCA) Video. The LTX 500 with its customizable trigger system accommodates
    optional add-on motorized anamorphic lens systems to use the full
    resolution of the display for viewing 2.4:1 movies.ULTRA-EFFICIENT FAN!Operating in normal mode, the ultra-quiet 19 dB fan noise will register
    in the room as less than a soft whisper. Air inlet is at the front and exhaust
    vent at the side.
