CES 2005 (Hilton suite 2910), Las Vegas, USA – 6 January, 2005 -- SIM2 Multimedia, the leading manufacturer of home theater projectors, announces through its sister company SIM2 USA Inc. a new revolutionary addition to the renowned line DLP™ front and rear projectors: the RT80.
The RT80 is an easy-to-install solution for those customers that are looking for big screens without any compromise in the image quality. This product is mainly developed for the custom installers that will be able to deliver a seamless installation in one single box. Based on the HT300 E-LINK engine, this inwall rearprojector is second to none as far a picture performance and ease of installation.
“There has been an extensive amount of market and product research prior to the development of the RT80” says Giorgio Corazza, SIM2 USA's President “And with our engineering capabilities we are now able to deliver this new concept which will seal our position in the market , once again for others to follow” finishes Mr. Corazza.
The RT80 is the first 80” in-wall rear projector in the market based on the new 0.8 720p DarkChip3™ by Texas Instruments and the following array of upgraded features:
New 0.8" 720p DarkChip3™ by Texas Instruments - The RT80 is the first rear projector in 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.
Real Theater dimension – The RT80 is a 80” diagonal rear projector that can be easily assembled and fitted into a wall thus creating a real theater experience in any room of the house.
Phenomenal Contrast Ratio - The DarkChip3™ coupled with improved software and SIM2 high quality optics allow the RT80 to reach a true contrast ratio of >3500:1 thus delivering on screen an image of unprecedented quality from a single chip rear projector SIM2 Live Colors Management (LCM) and Gamma functions - The LCM algorithm allow the precise adjustment of the color temperature to user preference, by choosing from the 36 predefined white points in CIE Chart. And, the Gamma Tables provide a wide range of possibilities to optimize image to the connected source (12).
Intelligent Memory functions – 3 image memory settings for each input; that is 75 and 36 settings respectively.
Future proof inputs and advanced video processing - The RT80 (just like all other SIM2 E-volution projectors) features 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 and is backwards compatible with DVI.
The DigiOptic™ Image Processor - The RT80 features 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 (0,14" diameter - 3,5mm). This means incredible flexibility with the installation, greatly reducing the need for numerous long cable runs to the projector.
