Unique Dual Lamp System

With Sharp's unique optics, two high grade 200W UHP lamps provide ultra high brightness of 4700/4000 ANSI Lumen with excellent colour uniformity. (When used with the optional zoom lens AN-LV40EZ)

Single/Dual Lamp Switchover

Choose the proper lamp arrangement to suit your needs. With dual lamp projection, the XG-V10W/X delivers high luminance (4700/4000 ANSI Lumen) pictures in a huge room. Even from a single lamp, the unit produces pictures of superb colour uniformity and sufficient brightness (2350/2000 ANSI Lumen) for mid-to-large-size rooms. Single lamp use also reduces the wear on the lamps, bringing down maintenance costs, and even if one lamp burns out, the projector can operate using the other lamp without interruption. Plus, for longer life and effective lamp use, the Equal Use mode automatically switches from one lamp to another every 100 hours.

Maximum Output Light Prism

Sharp's unique technologies of Light Axis Separation and Synthesis Prism work together with the dual lamp system to maximize light output, providing efficient brightness and excellent uniformity.

High 400:1 Contrast

XG-V10W/X has a high 400:1 contrast thanks to the newly developed light-collecting prism system which maximizes use of the light from the two lamps (can be also used when only one lamp is used) and the film with improved contrast. Dark areas in pictures will be reproduced with great contrast, for brighter, clearer, and crisper images.

Advanced Compatibility with High-End PCs, Workstations and DTV

Incorporating proprietary Sharp LSI technology, the XG-V10W/X works with powerful PCs and workstations used for specialised applications, such as medical, prepress DTP, CAD and CAM. The XG-V10W/X is also capable of displaying UXGA (1600 x 1200) resolution.

OCS (On Chip Spacer) LCD Panel

Screen uniformity problems are reduced by the OCS, which is formed between the surfaces of two glass panels engineered flat and uniform, providing a picture with even brightness.

3D Digital Uniformity

Three-Dimensional Digital Uniformity compensates uneven picture brightness for pictures at any brightness level from white to dark.

DTV/HDTV and DVD Compatible

The XG-V10W/X can project high-quality images from DVD, HDTV and DTV (480P, 720P, 1080I with 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios) by receiving 15k RGB signals and component signals (Y, PB, PR) through five BNC input terminals and an HD 15-pin mini D-sub terminal.

The XG-V10W/X can be used in a network of up to 250 projectors managed from a single PC with the accompanying Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition*, and connected to a PC with an RS-232C, RS-422 or LAN connection. Output terminals enable a daisy chain configuration and eliminate the need for a distributor. The XG-V10W/X can also be managed over a network via an Ethernet connection. The model has an ID No. indicator to set the ID number on each connected unit.

* Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition can be downloaded from the Sharp Global Home Page (http://www.sharp-world. com/projector) for free.

Self Diagnosis

The XG-V10W/X projector includes a self-diagnosis function to constantly check its condition. When trouble such as a lamp burn out occurs, the projector sends an error message to the management PC installed with Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition, which then automatically relays the projector's message to a registered address. The software also enables the PC to regularly check each projector's condition and send reports by e-mail, as well as keeping a record of those reports.

Multiple and Group Projector Control

A management PC with Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition can control up to 250 projectors individually. In addition, the group setting allows for up to 99 groups, with each group separately controlled. With the RS-232C, the projectors can be controlled from a distance of up to 15 metres, and with the optional RS-422 board, projectors are operable up to 1.2 km. With the optional LAN board, projectors are operated over an existing network.

Simple Stacking and Video Wall

For brighter images, two XG-V10W/X projectors, for example, can be stacked in a master/slave configuration, providing 9400 ANSI Lumen (4700/4000* x 2) brightness. The slave is controlled by the master during projection through an RS-232C connection. A separately-sold RS-232C cable is connected from the RS-232C output on the master to the RS-232C input on the slave. Setting adjustments are individually controlled, and support functions such as Enlarge, Freeze and Presentation Tools are controlled by the two projectors together at the same time, just as when controlling only one projector.

*When used with the optional standard zoom lens AN-LV40EZ

Sharp Advanced Presentation Software incorporates the following great features to enhance your presentation quality.

- Presentation Transfer to send still images from a PC via a RS-232C cable

- RS-232C Control allows you to control the projector from a PC.

10-bit Digital Gamma Correction Circuit

The 10-bit Digital Gamma Correction Circuit precisely adjusts image quality. Also, the 4-mode gamma selection modulates the gamma value, matching the picture reprodcton with the image source and purpose, providing brighter pictures and sbtle color variations.

New Progressive Mode

The Progressive Mode of the previous I/P Conversion still had jagged lines and unclear pictures. The New Progressive Mode (3D Progressive) with correction circuitry compensates for this interference, to provide a natural and smooth picture for the progressive mode.

Enhanced Digital Image Enlargement

When you need to compose a video wall or work with an enlarged picture, projecting a larger image sometimes results in unclear or jagged pictures. The Enhanced Digital Image Enlargement employs much more advanced smoothing technology, producing a crisp and even picture.

Superior 16:9 Image

Conventional projectors extend a picture evenly from the 4:3 original to fit into a 16:9 screen, resulting in pictures stretched horizontally, i.e., wide and short. With the XG-V10W/X, pictures can be projected at a thinner ratio in the middle part and only extended on both sides, maintaining natural and proportional pictures sufficiently close to the 4:3 original.

Intelligent Digital Keystone Correction (IDWS)

The Intelligent Digital Keystone Correction compensates for picture distortion when images are projected at an angle. Conventionally only horizontal adjustments can be made, while the IDWS system allows for vertical adjustment. Plus, jagged lines on the picture are eliminated, providing a clear projection of almost the same quality as the original picture. And after adjustment of the angle with the Lens Shift Function, the XG-V10W/X with Keystone Correction automatically calculates and adjusts the projected image to an almost 4:3 aspect ratio.

New Intelligent Compression

New Intelligent Compression makes faint, fine lines and letters much clearer and sharper, suitable for project graphics, graph materials and PC menus.

Enhanced Three-Two Pull Down

Using the Film Mode, the XG-V10W/X can beautifully reproduce movie film recorded in 24Hz progressive format.

Digital Convergence

With Digital Convergence, a slight distortion of convergence can be easily adjusted on the service menu screen without having to touch the LCD panel.

Seven Interchangeable Lenses with Lens Shift Function

Digital Shift Function

A picture ratio of 16:9 in movie videos or DVDs may result in an awkward black line at the top or bottom of the screen. With the Digital Shift function, the entire picture can be vertically adjusted in a similar manner as the Lens Shift function ensuring more evenly balanced viewing.

Advanced Presentation Features

The XG-V10W/X provides a variety of useful presentation support tools to highlight important points and deliver a stronger message.

Easy Maintenance for Ceiling Mounting

The XG-V10W/X is designed to make installation and maintenance a breeze—no more worrying about troublesome removal from the ceiling mount:

Low Fan Noise: 39 dB (in dual lamp mode)

In spite of the XG-V10W/X's super high brightness, the projector is astoundingly quiet. The unit produces less fan noise, eliminating annoying sounds during presentations and meetings.

Automatically and quickly synchronizes in 4 to 8 seconds the projection settings (pixel clock, phase and horizontal and vertical positions) for a smooth start to presentations.

The easy-to-use Navitron GUI shows how to adjust the focus, sound, lighting, and other settings.
