TDR: Transport Delay Reduction
(for Barco’s SIM 6 Ultra II projector)
For simulation applications, it is impera-
tive that
no processing delay occurs
inside the projector
. For this purpose,
Barco has developed optimized digital
processing algorithms, which ensure
that the sum of all possible image
corrections (including de-interlacing)
amounts to an imperceptible delay cor-
responding to less than three lines on-
screen! This ensures that the SIM 6 Ultra
II projector will not be the bottleneck in
your display system.

Motion blur
TMR
Smearing
(for SIM 6 Ultra II and SIM 7 projectors)
Thanks to TMR, the sharpness of moving
images is preserved by adjusting
motion compensation, detail and edge
enhancement, and motion-adaptive
noise reduction.
In addition, the processing speed can
be adjusted to avoid overshoots that
manifest themselves as smearing in
the reversed polarity, such as when the
tail of a dark moving object on a lighter
background appears whiter than the
background.

•
DynaColor™ for color uniformity
•
CLO for brightness uniformity
•
OSEM for an invisible blend
i-Stereo
From a single high-bandwidth PC or
workstation output (>170 MHz),
i-Stereo produces two channel pictures
with blend, without intermediate
interfaces.
ECR: Extended Contrast Ratio
Barco’s sophisticated ECR technology
eliminates extraneous light rays that
limit the dark level to greatly increase
the contrast ratio and considerably
improve picture quality.
NVG optimization
Barco’s ECR technology and night vision
goggles (NVG) optimization lets you use
the SIM 5R and SIM 7 projectors for
true, realistic NVG stimulation with ultra
realistic blooming and halo night vision
effects.
ESEM: Electronic Soft Edge Matching
In multi-channel setups, the nonzero
black level of light valve projectors
normally leads to brighter overlap zones,
especially in night scenes. Barco’s
standard ESEM technology allows to
adjust edge blending without black-level
correction on all Barco simulation
projectors.
OSEM: Optical Soft Edge Matching
With Barco’s proprietary OSEM,
blending filters in the optical path
maintain the black level in the overlap
zone to that of the separate images.
This results in a seamless image with
invisible blends, also in night sceneries,
with complete control over the full
dynamic range.
