Features
Adjustable Image Size:
The projected image size can be adjusted from 40" to 200"
diagonal. To achieve a 40" picture, the projector must be 5.05' to 6.06' from
the screen. For a 200" projected image, the projector must be 25.25' to
30.3' from the screen. A 40" diagonal image is 34.86" wide and 19.61"
tall, while a 200" diagonal image is 174.32" wide and 98.05" tall.
DLP Projection
System: Digital Light Processing (DLP)
technology from Texas Instruments is the only display solution that creates an
entirely digital connection between a source and the screen in front of you.
Texas Instruments DarkChip2:
The ScreenPlay 4805 uses Texas Instruments' new DarkChip2 DLP technology with 16:9
native aspect ratio and 854 x 480-pixel resolution. The unit is compatible with
SDTV (480i, 576i), EDTV (480p, 576p), and HDTV (720p, 1080i including HDCP)
video signals. The projector's built-in scaler converts all signals to its
native resolution of 854 x 480.
Faroudja DCDi De-interlacer:
The enhanced Faroudja DCDi FLI2200 video processor produces clear and artifact-free images without the jagged lines you'd see on some large-format displays. DCDi includes video noise reduction and film source detection with 3:2 pull down.
4x, 6-segment Color
Wheel: The ScreenPlay 4805 uses a proprietary 4x, 6-segment color wheel, and comes pre-calibrated to the video broadcast standard of 6500K
color temperature.
Zoom Lens: The
projector is equipped with an all-glass F2.4 1.2x zoom lens with a 21-25mm focal
length. The zoom can be manually adjusted by a zoom ring around the lens.
Picture Menu:
The
Picture Menu gives you the following options:
-
Keystone:
When the image is projected at an angle, you can use the Keystone feature to
adjust the image vertically, resulting in a squarer image.
-
Contrast:
controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of
the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the image
-
Brightness:
changes the intensity of the image
-
Color:
adjusts a video image from black and white to fully saturated color. The
color setting applies to video sources only.
-
Tint:
adjusts the red-green color balance in the image of NTSC video images. The
tint setting applies to NTSC video sources only.
-
Aspect
Ratio: allows you to choose one of
the following aspect ratio settings:
-
Native:
this mode bypasses the internal scaler, displaying the image with no
resizing
-
16:9:
the
default is 16:9, which preserves the 16:9 aspect ratio and is designed
to be used with content that is enhanced for Widescreen TVs
-
4:3:
resizes the image from its original version to fit a standard 4:3 aspect
ratio screen. If you have a 4:3 source on a 16:9 screen, the image is
placed in a 16:9 space, so black bars appear at the sides of the image.
-

colors
-
Video
Standard: When it is set to
Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard automatically
based on the input signal it receives. If the projector is unable to
detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image
may appear "torn." If this happens, manually select a video
standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.

Inputs
and Outputs Notes
Four Inputs:
The ScreenPlay 4805 is equipped with 4 discreet inputs allowing you to connect
various video and computer sources. The inputs include:
-
M1-DA (DVI): You
can plug in a DVD player or HDTV receiver with a DVI connector into the
unit's M1-DA jack; the M1-DA jack looks similar to a DVI connector, but it isn't the same size as a DVI connector. An M1-DA to DVI adapter will be needed to connect the M1-DA connector to a video component with a DVI output. Using the supplied computer cable, you can also connect
your computer to the projector using this input and your computer's VGA and
USB connections.
-
Component Video
Input: The unit has an Extended Definition and High Definition-compatible
component video input. The component video jacks will accept 1080i, 720p, 480p,
480i signals. Note: The projector's built-in scaler will output all
signals in its native resolution (854 x 480).
-
S-Video Input:
One S-video input lets you connect a component with an S-video output. (A 13'
S-Video cable is supplied.)
-
Composite Video Input:
This input features a composite video jack, which allows you to connect a source
with a composite video output.
Audio Input/Output: A pair of
stereo RCA jacks is provided to input audio to the projector. For mono
connections, you can use either the left or right RCA jack. You can use the
built-in speaker, or output the audio via the supplied stereo 3.5mm (1/8")
mini-jack to self-powered speakers or an amplifier.
12-Volt Trigger:
A 3.5mm mini-jack trigger output provides constant
a 12-Volt DC/500mA output while the projector is on. If you connect your projection screen to
the trigger output, when you turn on the projector the screen will move down; when you
turn the projector off, the screen will return to the storage position.
Warranty
Information
Warranty:
The projector is covered by a 2-year parts and labor warranty, while the lamp is
covered for 90 days or 500 hours, whichever comes first.
