In 4:3 ratio, H56 delivers a resolution of 1024 x 768, and in 16:9 format, the resolution is 1024 x 576, a 61% increase over standard TVs in this same mode. H56 also offers a unique Native Mode feature that allows the incoming video signal to be displayed at its native resolution without scaling. Optoma combines many high-performance technologies in the H56, including Double Data Rate (DDR) DLP technology from Texas Instruments. The projector also uses the advanced Silicon Image Sil504 de-interlacer. As a testament to H56's proficiency in de-interlacing, Optoma recommends that users defeat line doubling on many DVD players to allow the process to be accomplished inside the H56. In addition, the projector's flawless reverse 3:2 pulldown and other processing technologies allow movies to be displayed as the director intended them to be viewed -- without artifacts and jerkiness, a common problem with some other projectors. With the same attention to quality, the H56 is optimized for true color projection and features a new six-segment color wheel coated with an advanced material that achieves superb color saturation—especially in the area of projecting rich reds. The brightness, contrast, color, and aspect ratio settings are optimized for each video source at the factory while also allowing users to make adjustments to gamma controls, viewing formats, and other image settings. Users can then save different settings for each video source. The H56 accepts HDTV connections in the form of component video cables as well as next-generation DVI-I digital video. It also supports present-generation signals including S-Video and composite video and "up-converts" them. The new Optoma projector does all this while running quietly at 32dB. (http://www.optoma.com)
