Lens Memory Load is included, which can store focus settings and zoom positions. The projector supports frame rates of 120 fps, 60 fps, and 24 fps. The projector can split the screen into two halves to allow adjustments to be made on one section and the other can be used as a baseline. The projector will ship in October for $3499.
