DESIGNED UNDER

ISO

Optimized for high-resolution,
multi-channel visualization

The SIM 7 comes equipped with
various Barco engineered technologies
that make it ideal for multi-channel
simulation projection: 

• 

Optical and electronic edge blending

eliminate overlap zones where
projections converge, to create one
seamless image.

• 

Linked constant light output

(CLO)

guarantees the same brightness
levels for the entire composite image

• 

DynaColor

and 

gray level definition

ensure accurate color matching and
gradient color definitions across the
multi-channel system.

• 

Warping

enables correct, undistorted

projection without frame delay and
loss of pixels on a curved or spherical
screen.

True smear-free operation

Thanks to Barco's display optmizations
and the system's fast refresh rates, the
SIM 7 produces high-quality images on
par with CRT technology - but at a much
lower price. This renders the SIM 7 the

next-generation projector of choice

for

fast-jet training and other visually
intensive simulation applications.

High contrast, deep black levels

Barco’s contrast-enhancing features in
the SIM 7 make it possible to simulate

true black levels

and attain levels of

color gradience as close to a real-life
experience as possible. The SIM 7’s
dynamic contrast ratio can be enhanced
to up to 1,000,000:1, which is offered
by no other competitor in the industry.

Stimulated NVG capability

As today’s combat scenarios take place
during night, having pilots fully trained
to fly under these conditions is
necessary for survival.  Barco’s night
vision goggles (NVG) optimization lets
you use the SIM 7 series projectors for
true, 

realistic NVG stimulation

with

ultra realistic blooming and halo night
vision effects. This technology is
compatible with any current generation
of NVGs.

Motion simulator compatibility

The Barco SIM 7 can be equipped with
a motion-base compatibility option, and
it is ruggedized to withstand the high G-
forces of motion vibration.

Enabled for automated alignment

Quickly and easily setup your multi-
channel SIM 7 display system with
Barco's advanced automated alignment
system and remote display controller.

Brightest LCoS simulation projector
on the market

While other LCoS projection
technologies typically operate at 25%
brightness capacity, Barco’s SIM 7 works
at 

100% full brightness

when its

contrast-enhancing and smear-reducing
options are disabled. 

SIM 7 series

The SIM 7Q and 7D display a three
megapixel QXGA resolution, while the
SIM 7H offers the widescreen 1080p HD
resolution. The SIM 7D also includes the
unique, "

twin warping

" technology -

the industry's finest geometry
correction function - to preserve fine
detail in images.
