0.8" 720p DarkChip3™ by Texas Instruments
The HT300 E-LINK projector is the first on the market to feature the new 0.8" 720p DarkChip3™ by Texas Instruments (HD2+ DC3). The DarkChip3™ incorporates smaller mirror hinges, reduced gaps between mirrors, a flatter, more reflective surface and a new light absorbent coating for unmatched contrast and color uniformity. Also the DarkChip3™ is a Fast Track Pixel (FTP) chip that allows an approx. 50% reduction of the dithering effect for an exceptionally natural, crystal clear image.

Complete color control with the new SIM2 Live Colors Management (LCM) and Gamma functions.
The HT300 E-LINK features SIM2 LCM and Gamma functions. The LCM algorithm allows you to precisely adjust color temperature to your preferences. Simply, choose from the 36 predefined white points in CIE Chart. In addition, you may choose from the wide range of possibilities provided by the Gamma Tables to optimize image to the connected source (12).

Intelligent Memory functions
The HT300 E-LINK can store up to 3 image memory settings such as brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc. for each input; that is 75 settings total. When you select a new source, the parameters stored in each memory may be applied simultaneously. Or, you may simply choose to recall despite the change of source.

Future proof inputs and advanced video processing
The E-volution projectors feature an impressive array of digital connections, including HDMI™ and DVI. HDMI™ is a purely digital connection that transmits the uncompressed bitstream directly from the source through to the display - even high definition - and is backwards compatible with DVI. The on board 2nd generation DCDi™ Video Processing powered by Faroudja (FLI2310) guarantees an image that is free from motion artefacts and that your film collection is displayed just as the Director intended!

The DigiOptic™ Image Processor
The HT300 E-LINK features the SIM2's DigiOptic™ Image Processor, the remote unit equipped with a wide choice of inputs and linked to the projector through a thin digital fiber optic cable (3,5mm - 0,14" diameter). This means incredible flexibility with the installation, greatly reducing the need for numerous long cable runs to the projector.Upgradability
The innovative connectivity of the HT300 E-LINK through the external DigiOptic™ Image Processor allows the user to approach this moment of digital confusion with ease.
The DigiOptic™ Image Processor features new digital inputs, but it is also upgradeable to accommodate future additional connections. This means that the user will no longer have to worry about changing the whole unit, but will only upgrade the external input/image processor.
 

Feature-packed product
The HT300 E-LINK is a all-inclusive projector, featuring a sophisticated proprietary optical design for saturated and vibrant colors, high performance long lamp life for low operating costs, 6-segment color wheel for dramatically-reduced color separation artefacts, long throw ratio, power zoom and focus, and lens shift + Keystone Adj. to fine-tune the projectors from your viewing position.

 Grand Cinema RTX

 After the success of the Grand Cinema HT300 projector, SIM2 realized the need to apply the projectors' technology to a display device that can be utilized in a variety of rooms while fulfilling the need of the home theatre enthusiast.  With this concept in mind, SIM2 Multimedia has designed the Grand Cinema RTX line: a revolutionary concept where image quality, technology and design are combined.

 The RTX's elegant cabinet is immediately recognizable: a true masterpiece by the award winning designer - Giorgio Revoldini. But here the beauty is more than skin deep, for inside is the superb SIM2 HT300 DLP projector.

 Picture quality is outstanding, thanks not only to the wonderful HT300, but also the DigiOptical Image processor. This unique unit accepts virtually all types of video inputs, offers switching capability between each and outputs a Digital Video Interface (DVi) to the RTX via a proprietary optical interface. This optical cable allows long cable runs without degradation.

 The Grand Cinema RTX sealed light engine - exclusive to SIM2 – insures low maintenance and increased life span. The built-in deinterlacer and video enhancement (DCDiTM) powered by Faroudja applies motion adaptive deinterlacing that prevents the introduction of motion artifacts and jagged edges.

As with all products in the Grand Cinema line, you can keep the RTX up-to-date. Using with the RS232 port on the RTX's DigiOptical Image Processor, enthusiasts can easily download the latest software updates.

The Grand Cinema RTX is offered in a 45" display (RTX-45) at $12995 and a 55" display (RTX-55) for $12995
