F20 SX+

The new F20 sx+ (1400x1050) professional grade projector follows the successful F2 sx+ platform, and is built on the same sturdy chassis and optics. The introduction of BrilliantColor™ technology, combined with our unique RealColor colour management suite, makes it the perfect choice for demanding applications.
The F20 sx+ professional grade DLP™ projector has been developed to meet requirements in graphically challenging applications, but at a fraction of the cost of competitors‘ offerings. It’s features include SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) DLP™ technology, our revolutionary RealColor colour management suite, Texas Instruments® BrilliantColor™ technology, and three optional lenses. It’s small size and ability to fit in a number of applications, combined with it’s unique 24/7 guarantee, makes it ideal for a wide range of professional applications.

SXGA+ resolution.
The projectiondesign F20 sx+ features SXGA+ resolution at 1400 x 1050 pixels. Offering 87% resolution increase over XGA, and 12% over SXGA, SXGA+ offers brilliantly detailed imaging, detailing images standard projectors can never resolve. In simulators and visualisation systems, as well as for medical imaging purposes, SXGA+ ensures more detailed and natural images than any other resolution.


DLP™ technology – chosen for reliability
At the core of the F20 sx+ lies DLP™ technology from Texas Instruments®. It has been chosen for it’s unique combination of image quality – high brightness and contrast, and natural colours – compact system size possibilites, and most importantly, it’s unmatched reliability. Thorough, independent testing has proven DLP™ technology to be the most reliable of all microdisplays. Inorganic by design, it does not degrade when subjected to UV light, inherent in all projectors. Unlike competing technologies, showing severe image quality degradation after only a few thousand hours, DLP™ technology remains constant over hundreds of thousands of hours.

RealColor realises seamless matching
Each F20 sx+ projector is uniquely characterised and calibrated during the last stages of it’s manufacture. Unique optical performance values are recorded and matched to the electronics processing in order to secure perfect on-site calibration. With RealColor, it is possible to match any number of projectors, and ensure they all project the same primaries and grey scale, without going through a very complicated process.

BrilliantColor™ changes what you see
A new innovation from Texas Instruments®, BrilliantColor™ is revolutionary in the way colours are processed and displayed. While increasing brightness over competing technologies, BrilliantColor™ dramatically increases colour saturation and gamut, and really needs to be seen. With strong saturation in yellows, cyans and magentas, colours commonly found in natural scenes, and very little contamination between colours, image quality is dramatacilly increased over any other technology.

High brightness – and configurable
Featuring up to 3300 ANSI lumens, the F20 sx+ features enough brightness for virtually any installation. With several optional configurations, it can be set to display any brightness desired, and for instance optimised for more saturated colours and video instead of computer graphics.

Precision projection lens optics
Designed purely with High Quality low dispersion glass, a range of three projection lenses are available; a standard zoom lens, a flexible 1:1 wide angle lens, and an ultra wide angle with optical pincushion/barrel adjustemt, designed for rear projection applications and special requirements. Both wide angle lenses feature as low as <0.5 pixels optical distortion.

24/7 operation guaranteed
All our professional projectors are offered with a limited 24/7 operation guarantee. Applicable to process control rooms and heavy duty applications where reliability is key, this is where projectiondesign makes a difference.

Simple service – simple lamp replacement
Replacing the lamp is done directly from the front of the projector, and unlike most competitors, the F20 sx+ does not need to be unmounted when replacing it. The front panel comes off, so mechanical and optical adjustments are left intact This is particularly important in installations where accuracy in installation is key.

High end video processing
For video processing, the F20 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.

Small size and light weight
The F20 sx+ has been designed to be as small and light as possible. With low unsprung weight, it fits into motion platform simulators without having to take special notice of mounting hardware to cope with high forces during operation. It’s light component weight ensures there is little stress internally, and this further enhances the F20 sx+’s mode of operation.

Security and network managable
Fully networkable, most projector settings and features can be set through the built-in web page, thus allowing remote asset management. Like the TCP/IP interface, the projector itself features a PIN (Personal Identification Number) lock, so that unauthorised users cannot take advantage of it, thus preventing theft.

Fully customisable
Like with all our professional projectors, we offer a range of customisation options, for instance different colour wheels, specially designed for various applications, such as graphics visualisation and simulation, presentation, medical imaging, and public display purposes.

Built-in Real Time Clock and timer
The built-in real time clock and timer enables the F20 sx+ to be programmed to perform any desired operation at any one time. Examples include automatic switching on and off or swtiching between various sources at set intervals. Up to 10 different programmes can be stored individually.
