Pioneer announces high-end Front Screen Projector

Full-scale cinematic impact for images larger than life

Pioneer introduces its 'HD ready 1080p' Front Screen Projector KRF-9000FD for images larger than life. The KRF-9000FD projector combines striking image reproduction with compelling dimensions, guaranteeing an enriched cinematic experience for the most discerning entertainment junkies.

"This premium Front Screen Projector extends the industry-leading quality and 1080p performance of our award-winning KURO Full HD plasma TVs to the very large screen area. Based on 3 x 0.7 inch full HD D-ILA*, it attains a native contrast ratio of 30,000:1, which results in smooth images exhibiting deep black levels and crisp contrast," says Jim Catcheside, Product Manager for Pioneer GB.

Ultimate viewing pleasure
The Front Screen Projector KRF-9000FD stands for gripping image reproduction with amazing detail. Equipped to display genuine High Definition images with a progressive resolution of 1920 x 1080p, the KRF-9000FD can accurately reproduce the unparalleled volumes of image data supplied by HD sources such as Blu-ray disc players. What's more, every film can be enjoyed in near-cinema quality, exactly as it was shot, mastered and stored. Stylish design, easy operation and whisper-quiet running, increase the allure of the KRF-9000FD for viewers who desire the finest cinematic experience in the comfort of their own living room.

Untouched colour and extreme contrast
Aside from displaying signature KURO style cosmetics, the Front Screen Projector supports advanced calibration and is in line with the KURO benchmark of deep black levels and rich colours. Colours come to life without noise or distortion as all digital video signals are transferred via HDMI directly from source to screen. Everything remains completely pure and true to the original source throughout the entire signal chain. Deep Colour compatibility guarantees colour transitions and gradients with unbelievable precision, resulting in incredibly natural and lifelike images. To tailor the image to suit individual preferences, the Front Screen Projector offers precise adjustment of gamma via the remote control and on-screen display. Primary RGB colours can be individually adjusted. From the deepest black to the brightest white, the incorporated high-reflectivity LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology produces the highest native contrast ratio.

Full-scale cinematic impact
Cinephiles with a dedicated home cinema room can enjoy genuine cinematic aspect ratios - in full-size 2.35:1 format - but without the black bars normally displayed at the upper and lower edges of the image. The projector's V-Stretch mode combined with an additional third party anamorphic lens guarantees maximum viewing pleasure. The outstanding large-diameter 2x zoom lens incorporated in the KRF 9000FD provides superb image flexibility, while motorised focus allows razor-sharp image reproduction. The Front Screen Projector is configured for screen sizes starting from 60 inches and is very flexible in terms of placement. A wide lens shift capacity enables positioning of the KRF-9000FD off-axis to the screen without impairing the image quality.
