D-ILA™ Digital Graphics Projectors
Hughes-JVC Technology  Corporation
Big, bright, stunning projected images and projection of SXGA
signals at full resolution — that’s what you’ll get with the D-ILA™
Digital Graphics G1500. It combines the superb picture quality of
Hughes-JVC’s industry-leading ILA
®light valve projectors with the
easy handling, user-friendliness and affordability of a lightweight
portable projector. The G1500 is the high performance projector
that’s ideal for the multimedia age.
The G1500 (with zoom lens) and G1500M (with fixed focal length
lens) are ideal for applications like boardrooms, conference rooms,
universities and trade shows where you need a bright, clear image
despite sometimes harsh room lighting. Their superior video picture
makes them the perfect choice for high-end home theater systems.
And, with true SXGA capability, you’ll project eye-catching CAD
drawings and workstation graphics that maintain complete fidelity
to the original 1280 x 1024 high resolution image, with no
dropped or distorted lines.
Proprietary D-ILA™ Technology
The D-ILA™ device is based on a unique 0.9”
reflective CMOS chip. This “Direct-Drive Image Light
Amplifier” is addressed digitally by the source signal.
The light from the xenon lamp travels through a
polarized beam splitter, reflects off the D-ILA™ device,
passes through the projection lens and creates a high-
quality image on the screen. The D-ILA’s high pixel
density of 1365 x 1024 and 93% aperture ratio
provide outstanding light collection efficiency,
resulting in both higher brightness and higher
resolution than conventional LCD panels (whose
transmissive design can block light and degrade the
image with artifacts caused by the LCD’s structure). In
addition, the vertical alignment of the D-ILA’s liquid
crystal layer provides the projected image with vastly
superior contrast ratios of 350:1. Exciting D-ILA
technology produces crisp, clear, brilliant screen
images that sizzle with excitement.
Industry Leading Performance
The G1500 features superior brightness of 1500
lumens, contrast ratio greater than 350:1 and video
resolution of 1000 TV lines. And you won’t have to
worry about projector obsolescence: unlike fixed matrix
displays which limit resolution to 848x600 or
1024x768, the G1500 boasts graphics resolution of
1365x1024 and full HDTV compatibility.  By every
performance measure — brightness, color, contrast,
resolution and ease of use — the G1500 is the best
portable projection system for the multimedia age.
Multimedia Capability
Our innovative Adaptive Digital Pixel Conversion
(DPC) technology assures optimal pixel conversion
from a wide range of input signals, eliminating the
annoying jagged edges found with other digital
technologies. This allows the G1500 to faithfully
reproduce images at VGA (640x480), SVGA
(800x600) and XGA (1024x768) resolutions, as
SXGA images projected without conversion at
1280x1024, and signals from high-definition
television, video decks, DVDs and NTSC sources. No
matter what the resolution of the source signal, your
picture will always look smooth, clear and amazingly
natural .
Natural Color Reproduction
Newly developed 10-bit Digital Gamma Correction
circuitry provides smoother, more accurate gray scale
and color reproduction. That’s critical for all your
images, from subtle skin tones in home theater
screenings to the complex coloration of workstation
graphics.
Powerful Light Output
Hughes-JVC’s newly-developed 420 Watt Xenon Arc
Lamp, with a spectral distribution close to that of
natural light, produces pure, white illumination of
1500 ANSI lumens. Plus, the G1500’s unique, light-
collecting technology produces an 85% light roll-off,
for images that are bright, well-defined, and uniform
from corner to corner.
Variable Mounting Positions
Flexible mounting capabilities allow a wider range of
applications.  The G1500 may be mounted on the ceiling
or tabletop in either upright or inverted position, front or
rear projection.
Quick and Easy Setup
The G1500 projector’s quick-start design lets you start
operation within 2 minutes of switching on the power.
Single lens construction eliminates the need for
convergence adjustments, while the power zoom and
power focus functions greatly reduce the need for
projector alignment. And remote-control capability with
comprehensive on-screen menus make the G1500 one
of the most user friendly projectors in its class.
