The DigiOptical Image Processor, which should be ideally located
close to the signal sources, supports and processes a wide range
of video signals, transmitting them to the display by means of a
fibre optic link cable.
The large number of inputs available (2 Composite Video inputs,
2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic
RGB inputs and 1 DVI-D input) ensures the system supports a
wide variety of analogue and digital sources: DVD players, VCRs,
satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, game consoles,
video cameras, etc.
The signal processing capabilities of the Image Processor
ensure optimum reproduction of a broad range of input signals,
from interlaced video to high definition and graphics.
Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals
by means of prestigious DCDi™ technology produces fluid,
natural, images free of flicker and stairstepping artefacts.
Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such as
high definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of
information or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the
processor’s high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.
Adaptation of the input signal resolution to the Display resolution
occurs without alterations of image quality, in accordance with
an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several definable by
the user.
All image adjustments can be performed with the remote control
with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively, the unit can
be controlled by from a home automation system through the
serial port.
The Display, with its elegant and original design, produces an
image using the very latest Texas Instruments DLP™ technology
(1280x720 pixel DMD™ panel with 12
°
technology), a
proprietary dust-sealed optical system, a new six-segment colour
wheel and a new type of Fresnel lens. All these features combine
to provide a top quality image, with definition, sharpness,
colorimetry and contrast on a par with the famous frontal
projectors in SIM2’s Grand Cinema line.
The two units are connected via a three-core fibre optic cable
for transmission of the digital signal from the DigiOptical Image
Processor to the Display and control signals in both directions.
Transmission occurs without interference or attenuation over
distances of up to 500 m.
Moreover, the flexibility and small size of the cable allow the
maximum freedom when installing the system in your home.
