Rec. 709 HDTV Standard for the Finest Cinematic Colour Authentic HDTV Colour Accuracy

Rec. 709 is the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate replica of cinematic colour as the director intended.

How Our Projectors Are Designed for Rec. 709

Only displays that conform to Rec. 709 can reproduce colours correctly in all images through an entire movie. While most projector manufacturers choose a saturated colour tone bias to increase colourfulness, resulting in colour accuracy loss, W8000 achieves the Rec. 709 colour standard. The process of building a projector includes many variables such as lenses, lamps and colour 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 colours matter to our users when enjoying movies as they were meant to be seen.


HARDWARE DESIGN

BenQ’s ISF-trained expert engineers tried more than 20 different combinations of colour segments and colour wheel coating, the factors that directly affect colour gamut and brightness of a projector.


SOFTWARE OPTIMIZATION

To maximize colour accuracy, the process of software optimization involved adjusting the blacks, whites and greys towards D65 defined by Rec. 709. And the three primary and three secondary colours were adjusted one by one, until they were as close as possible to the references on the Rec. 709 colour gamut.


PRODUCTION LINE QUALITY CONTROL

Three colour adjustment stations in the production line perform final checks on every single unit of our Rec. 709 projectors. Using exclusive BenQ colour adjustment procedures, we make sure each projector is manufactured according to the Rec. 709 colour standard, and BenQ quality engineers perform final colour tests on each projector built to ensure Rec. 709 performance.
