VP-15S1
VP-15S1!True HD 1080p DLP projector
With the introduction of the VP-15S1 a wider audience will have
access to top qualityvideo projection. As a full HD 1920 x 1080 DLP
projector, it fulfills all the demands of the new
generation Blu-ray Disc , HD-DVD and HD Satellite TV. It
features the the finest videotechnology from Gennum and the perfect
parameters from Marantz. Even non-HD sources such as DVD or TV will
look like high definition heaven. In addition, the high light

Technological glossary:
Texas instruments DLP technology has caused a revolution inthe
home cinema world, which will continue with the introduction of the
.95 1080p worlds first 1920 x 1080resolution native HD dlp chip
incorporated in the VP-15S1.The .95 1080p design tightens the space
between the mirrorsfor even less pixelation than before. In
addition this chipsetoperates at a higher speed, reducing dither
noise in low lightportions of the image. Accompanied with a 200W
SHP lampassembly a large improvement on brightness is realized.
Thisbrings the viewer unprecedented black levels, contrast
ratio,and even better low level accuracy than before, makingshadow
details more visible and rivaling film in its dynamicrange. The
16:9 aspect ratio of the panel has got a substantialadvantage over
the 4:3 panel especially for handlingwidescreen sources. Not only
for the film originated materials,TV is also moving towards 16:9
aspect ratio with HDTV in thescope. In addition, a widescreen
panel, is free from the 'HaloEffect' which caused by 4:3 DMD panel
when it is projectingother than 4:3 images.
DLP Technology
The crowning achievement on this VP-15S1 is a completelynew
video processing engine. This new processing chip wasdeveloped by
Gennum (specifically for the VP-15S1) and isthe most powerful video
processor ever included in a videodisplay device—consumer or
professional. Gennum’s GF935110-bit image processing
system-on-a-chip (SoC) sets newbenchmarks for video realism and
processing flexibility. TheGF9351 features Gennum’s latest
de-interlacing algorithmswith dynamic edge detection and film mode
processing forboth HDTV and SDTV interlaced formats. Content
adaptivenoise reduction & detail enhancement algorithms
removeunwanted noise while improving image detail for a
cinematicHDTV experience. It offers true motion
adaptivede-interlacing of all non-progressive sources – HD
included– with inverse telecine (3:2 pull down), jagged
edgereduction circuitry, 4:4:4 processing at a true 10 bit
colordepth (over 1 billion colors displayed) and a new level
offlexibility for the installer including sizing and
blankingcontrols. The VP-15S1 is equipped with a special version
ofthe GF9351 bearing the Marantz logo.Gennum calls the set of
technologies offered by the GF9351VXP, for Visual eXcellence
Processing™. Broadly conceived,VXP combines four technologies:
TruMotionHD, FineEdge,PurePixel and FidelityEngine
Gennum Video Processing
De-interlacing technology that makes input signalsprogressive,
converting them from non-interlaced tointerlaced sequentially. It
is compatible with High-Definitionsignals (720p, 1080i, 1080p) as
well, and it preserves thehigh-resolution effect after progressive
conversion.TruMotionHD also reduces chroma upsampling error
causedby MPEG decoders of DVD players.
TruMotionHD
FineEdge™ refers to edge enhancement (correction andemphasis)
and adaptive processing. This processing smoothesimage edges
extremely well, especially lines runningdiagonally. In combination
with the TruMotionHD™ thepicturewill be of an extraordinary
sharpness and stability.
FineEdge™
The GF9351 uses 10-bit processing for all signal processing,
atechnique called RealityExpansion™. 10-bit processingproduces
exceptionally better gradation than typical 8-bitprocessing,
raising the number of colors to a higher order ofmagnitude from
16.77 million to more than a billion. With theincrease number of
possible colors the reproduce picturesappears much more
natural.
RealityExpansion™
Detail emphasis and noise reduction are provided by what
iscalled the FidelityEngine™. This technology cuts noisewithout
reducing the sense of picture resolution. Forlow-resolution images
that are not sharp, the FidelityEngine™adds emphasis to details,
producing clarity.
FidelityEngine™
Furthermore, a new lens was added to the already legendaryand
award winning lineup of optics from Konica-Minolta.This new lens is
a middle throw distance lens in compared tothe previous available
lenses. The VP-15S1 is featured with acustom ground and 14-element
lens, specially designed withtwo elementary things in mind:
contrast and image quality. Alllenses are finished by multi-coating
treatment, eliminatingany excessive glare. The fully sealed optics
is assembled in aclean room, ensuring consistently high-quality
imagesunaffected by dust throughout a long period of use.
Theselectable dual iris are built in the lens of and this
opticalengine and one in the illumination path..
As in the previous generation, the VP-15S1 also utilizes the
sixsegment color wheel. This wheel is used for less dithering oflow
level signals and keeping colors accurate at low signallevels. It's
built with two times RGB filters and one additionaldark green
filter. This will improve image quality especiallyin dark scenes
and the overall color accuracy for naturalreproduction of
images.
New customized optics
Large color wheel
HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain
thehighest video quality from the source all the way to thedisplay.
It employs the same copy protection technology asDVI and supports
HDCP, only exchanging signals with unitscertified compatible. The
outlets of HDMI terminals areslightly smaller than those of DVI
terminals. The HDMI isbackward-compatible with DVI. Marantz gives
the consumerfull digitalized interconnection from source to
display.The future is now.
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
-
The chassis of the VP-15S1 is made of aluminum casting toprevent
electro-magnetic interferences and to provide agood grounding point
for the electric circuitry. The path ofthe air flow is carefully
engineered to suppress the fannoise. This solid construction also
works as a secondarysealing of the light path to prevent any light
leakage. Noisecancellation elements such as the cabinet structure
as wellas sealing the color wheel motor make the VP-15S1extremely
quiet.
Sealed optical path and silent construction
The VP-15S1 has a control section that was designedspecifically
with the high-end custom installer in mind. Notonly are there
discrete codes for every function of theprojector, there are
numerous ways to control it as well. Inaddition to the IR from
either the front or rear panel, theprojector can also be hardwired
for IR and even RS232Ccontrol. 2 DC triggers allow a screen to go
up/downautomatically by turning on/of the VP-15S1 and two panelsto
drop down on the sides of a 16:9 screen, whenever
NORMAL is selected on the remote for watching 4:3 content.
Extensive Controls for Flexible Installation
!
One of the most critical aspects to ensure the best resultsfrom
the VP-15S1 is to mount it properly. To achieve aperfectly
proportioned picture the exact throw distanceneeds to be
determined. The FOCUS pattern functionallows you to focus the image
on the screen and positionthe projector properly by use of the lens
shift, zoom controland throw distance. If mounted above or below
the screen,the then you will have to tilt up or down in order to
havethe image line up to the screen, in which case keystone
correction will be needed.
