The DLP® Discovery™ 3000 product combines the high performance DDC3000 controller with a user programmable Virtex 4 (FPGA), 1 GB SDRAM memory, and user defined I/O connectors to provide a flexible, easy to use platform for advanced DMD product development. DLi has also designed the DLi3000 board for applications where form factor is a strong motivation in end product design. For example, the flex assembly will allow for a remotely mounted DMD which reduces vibration and heat generation. Each D3000 Starter Kit includes phone support and access to DLP® Discovery™ KnowledgeBase.

The D3000 runs on a 200MHz LVDS DDR clock and delivers data transfer rates of up to 12.8Gb/s. The DLP® Discovery™ 3000 may be used as a development platform to develop a proof of concept or be integrated into a market ready product.

The D3000 is available in XGA and SXGA+ platforms. Both formats incorporate a 32 bit low noise LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal) for high-speed data transfer. The SXGA+ model uses a 0.95" DMD with a resolution of 1400x1050 pixels and a frame rate of 8600fps. The XGA model employs a 0.7" DMD with a 1024x768 pixel array. The 0.7" XGA has a refresh rate of 16,800fps. Due to the size of the 0.95" DMD, the SXGA+ model has a remotely mounted DMD via flex cable. This assembly is also an option with the 0.7" DMD; however, it is not required. The D3000 is available in visible and UV configurations.
