The extremely high performance LUXBEAM® 4500 formatter board is utilzing the DLP® Discovery 4000
chip set from Texas Instruments Inc. The LUXBEAM® 4500 supports the new 1080p 0.95" DMD and
enables patterns with extremely high update rates. For easy system integration the LUXBEAM® 4500
comes with the DMD mounted on a FLEX cable. The LUXBEAM® 4500 enables a whole new range of
high-speed industrial and emerging applications.

The LUXBEAM 4500 comes with  VISITECH's LUXWARE firmware including memory management,
sequencing and I/O signalling. The LUXBEAM® 4500 provides high flexibility to facilitate exiting new
products and to customize boards and functionalities according to customer requirements .
