Brightness degradation
As brightness drops off, the color gamut shifts, requiring correction and recalibration to maintain the DCI-P3 color. The trade-off to make these color corrections is a less efficient projector, further driving down brightness and accelerating the issue. The result is a dark, dim and inaccurate visual presentation that is only correctable by changing the expired Xenon bulb or laser module with a new one.
Watch this video and find out how Xenon and laser phosphor stack -up when it comes to meeting the DCI standard for color.
What makes Xenon so well-suited for cinema? The native light spectrum of a Xenon lamp closely replicates the day light spectrum. Because of this, it can accurately reproduce the natural colors audiences are used to seeing for a realistic and true-to-life experience.

This series of graphs shows each illumination platform’s efficiency in producing the DCI specified white balance. The easier a projector can achieve DCI white without filtering, the more optically efficient the system is.
