The DigiOptical Image Processor, ideally placed near the
sources, can acquire and process a wide range of video signals,
in order to send them to the Display by means of the optical
fibre connection.
Its complement of inputs (2 Composite Video inputs, 2 S-Video
inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic RGB inputs
and 1 DVI-D input) allows connection to a wide variety sources,
both analogue and digital: DVD players, VCRs, satellite and cable
receiver boxes, computers, videogame consoles, video cameras,
etc.
The signal processing it performs allows excellent reproduction
of a wide range of input signals, from interlaced video to high
definition and graphics.
The conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals,
done through use of the renowned DCDi™ technology, produces
fluid, natural images free of flicker and steps along the diagonal
lines.
The 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 its high
ability to acquire signals at high pixel rates.
Adaptation of the input signal resolution to that of the Display
occurs without altering image quality through a wide range of
aspect ratios, including several definable by the user.
All adjustments relevant to the image can be performed with the
remote control with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively,
the unit can be controlled by a domestic 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 concept Fresnel lens. All to provide an
image without half-measures, with definition, sharpness,
colorimetry and contrast equal to the renowned front projectors
of SIM2’s GrandCinema product line.
The connection between the two units occurs through a cable
containing three optical fibres which allow 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 (1,640 ft).
Moreover, the flexibility and reduced diameter of the cable allow
maximum freedom in installing the system in your home.
