The highly versatile and flexible LUXBEAM® 3500 formatter board is utilzing the DLP® Discovery 3000
from Texas Instruments Inc. The LUXBEAM® 3500 supports the SXGA+ DMD, combining high resolution
and 4:3 aspect ratio.

VISITECH’s LUXBEAM® 3500 formatter board enables direct access to the DMD, creating binary or grey scale
patterns with high update rates. VISITECH's LUXWARE firmware is including memory management, sequencing and I/O signalling. The LUXBEAM® 3500 provides high flexibility to facilitate exiting new products and to customize boards and functionalities according to customers requrements.
