Dual Color Mode

      Dual Color Mode technology enables
      crossover function in PLUS projectors.

PLUS Vision’s Dual Color Mode, an innovative new technology, allows users to easily switch between optimized brightness for business use and optimized color for home use.

The Dual Color Mode allows users to switch color wheel configurations between a four-segment configuration, generally used in business applications, and a six-segment configuration, generally used when premium colors such as home video, are needed. For a business application, the four-segment color wheel configuration consisting of red, green, blue and white (clear) color segments is used. For home use or when more vibrant color saturation is required, the projector’s color wheel can be switched to a six-segment color wheel with a red, green, blue, red, green, blue configuration. These configurations can easily be switched back and forth by the push of a button.

The color wheel design, more than any other component, establishes the nominal image performance of a projector. For example a four-segment wheel establishes the fundamental brightness, contrast and color purity with an emphasis on brightness and contrast. Electronic adjustments on the projector allows the user to adjust brightness, contrast and color qualities around that nominal value established by the particular color wheel. Now, by having two different color wheel configurations inside of one projector, two entirely different nominal values of image performance are available. It is literally like having two different projectors in one box.

The Dual Color Mode technology is useful in many different applications for business, education and government. Some industries such as photography and medical require a business projector for presentation use, but must also show images that require vivid, nicely saturated colors. Schools use a combination of both PC applications and video.

If the colors of a bar chart in a business application are not completely saturated and perfect, no information is really lost. On the other hand, in a medical application, if the colors are not vivid and accurate enough to show the changes in skin tone before and after treatment, information can be lost.
