Introduction
Performance Features
•DLP Chip
The McIntosh MDLP2 Video Projector incorporates the
latest and largest available Digital Light Processing (DLP)
Dark Chip for use in a Home Theater Projector. The large
chip size is 0.95 inch and produces a High Definition Im-
age of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
• Advanced Optical System
The light source for the projector is the industry’s only 200
Watt DC Super High Pressure lamp assembly. This as-
sures an image with even illumination, focused from edge
to edge and accurate fully saturated colors. The light is
filtered by a large 98mm 7-segment color wheel incorpo-
rating a Neutral Density Filter Segment for enhanced black
levels during dark scenes. After the light is reflected by the
DLP Chip, it is then precisely focused by a Konica-Minolta
custom designed zoom lens. This lens is fully sealed and
consists of 13 all-glass elements. The optics allow for
screen sizes with 16:9 wide aspect ratio ranging from 70
to 250 inches for the Medium Throw Lens or 80 to 300
inches for the Long Throw Lens.
• Dual Iris
The MDLP2 incoporates an adjustable Dual Iris Optical
Light Path. This provides images with bright vivid color
and high contrast ratios.
• Advanced Filter Wheel Design
The color filter wheel spins at 10,800 RPM, making color
breakup (rainbow effect) a thing of the past, along with
three user speeds settings. The quiet filter wheel motor
uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing for silent and reliable opera-
tion.
• Placement Compensation
The MDLP2 Projector incorporates numerous adjustments,
compensating for less then ideal projector/screen position-
ing.
• Enhanced Video Processing
The Video Circuitry uses the very latest in processing
The McIntosh MDLP2 Video Projector is one of the finest
projectors ever created. It utilizes the latest Digital Micro-
mirror Device TM containing over 2 million individual pixels
(1080p) and produces images of such high quality, it’s just
like being there.
Connectors and Cable Information, Introduction and Performance Features
algorithms to produce an excellent image regardless of
the video source, from 480i to 1080p. This includes the
1080/24p frame rate available from some video sources.
Also there is a special direct pixel pass through mode when
used with external Video Processors.
• Video Adjustments
The MDLP2 allows for adjustment of important image
quality effecting parameters, such as Color Temperature,
Gamma and Black Level. There are also user adjustments
with the ability to store the settings for future recall, along
with three preset modes.
• HDMI TM 1.3 Connectivity with improved Color
There are two HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Inter-
face) inputs accepting 1080p signals. The MDLP2 supports
Deep Color TM ( 8bit, 10bit or 12bit signals) for reproduction
of over one billion possible colors and x.v. Color TM (Color
Space) can display any color viewable by the human eye.
• On-Screen Information Displays
The On-Screen Display indicates the Source Selection and
Information about the source signal. The Menu Selections
and Adjustments are also displayed on screen.
• Die Cast Internal Chassis
The MDLP2 die cast aluminum internal chassis assures
the precise mechanical alignment of the entire hermetically
sealed optical light path, which is necessary for a sharp,
highly detailed and accurate color image. The die cast
chassis also assures low operating noise and also helps to
dissipate heat away from the sensitive internal components.
• Machined Top and Bottom Panels
The MDLP2 Top and Bottom Panels are machined from
thick aluminum with a smooth black anodized finish.
• Special Power Supply
Fully regulated Power Supplies ensure stable noise free
operation even though the power line varies.
• Fiber Optic Solid State Top Panel Illumination
The even illumination of the Top Panel is accomplished
by the combination of a custom designed Fiber Optic
Light Diffuser and an extra long life Light Emitting Diode
(LED). The glass Top Panel ensures the pristine beauty of
the MDLP2 will be retained for many years.
