Breathtaking Motion Picture Quality

Rec. 709 Standard for Authentic Cinematic Color

Rec.709 is the international High Definition standard that guarantees display devices can faithfully reproduce the original cinematic color palette the movie director intended audiences to see.

Using the latest and most advanced 6X Speed RGBRGB color wheel with custom segment angles and coatings, the HT3050 achieves Rec. 709 cinematic color reproduction, delivering precise Hollywood Studio color right out-of-the box.

See your favorite movies as you have never seen them before, with the exact cinematic colors as the movie studios intended.

How Our Projectors Are Designed for Rec. 709

While most projector manufacturers choose a saturated color tone bias towards increased colorfulness, resulting in color accuracy loss, the HT4050 fully achieves the Rec.709 color standard. The process of building a projector includes many variables such as lenses, lamps and color wheel coating. We work relentlessly to close any gaps from those variances and to make our projectors perform exactly to Rec. 709. This is because we believe that colors matter to our customers when enjoying movies as they were meant to be seen.

Crisper, sharper Full HD 1080p

Built with high-grade pure glass elements in its light engine and an all-glass cinema grade projection lens, the HT4050 beams crisper, sharper Full HD 1080p content than any projector in its class
