GRAND CINEMA = Superb Image Quality.
A sophisticated proprietary optical design, coupled with a very high
performance zoom lens, ensures high contrast images, superior uniformity, and edge-to-edge
definition with an exceptionally good colorimetry and grey scale tracking. SIM2's long
experience in video processing combined with the use of high performance, state-of-the-art
VLSI guarantee artifacts-free, pure sharp images, supreme quality de-interlacing and image
format conversion from a wide range of sources, and a screen image that speaks for itself.
The projector features a built-in wide selection of inputs that
enables the connection to all
video and PC devices. Also, SIM2 has designed a unique accessory (optional)— the
Remote Input Interface (RII)— that easily connects the projector to the different
video
sources used in home theatre applications. Positioned next to the video sources (digital
receivers, DVD, VCR, etc.), the RII is linked to the projector through a unique special
cable, designed specifically to eliminate unsightly multiple cable runs to the ceiling and
dramatically ease the installation process. Conceived for home theatre applications, the
Grand Cinema projector line provides complete compatibility with all video sources,
including High Definition ATSC (480i, 720p, 1080i) with both 4:3 and 16:9 anamorphic
image aspect ratio, all picture standards (PAL, NTSC, SECAM), and computer graphics up
to 1600 x 1200 pixels resolution (compressed).
Would you like to add a touch of high technology wrapped in a
unique, elegant casing to
your home? Then SIM2 Grand Cinema line is the right choice for you: perfect and smooth
curves for an original and highly appealing cabinet. In other words, an exquisite design
for a projector conceived to be the high-class focal point of any dècor. But that’s
not all. In
fact the Grand Cinema models are available in a rich palette that suits the most diverse
interior decoration styles: from an aggressive Racing Red to the elegant Silver Blue, the
fascinating Black Shadow and several others.
Slim and small, the Grand Cinema projectors deliver high technology
in a lightweight
casing (5 kg. only). The easy transportability and the wide choice of input connectors
make these projectors agile, usable everywhere and with anyone, while exceeding
expectations. With Grand Cinema you can bring your private movie theatre everywhere:
from room to room and from house to house, without sacrificing the unique emotion
delivered by the big screen.
With Grand Cinema it’s like being in the front row of a real
movie theatre: the long-throw
ratio zoom lens prevents the typical and unpleasant placement of the product between
the viewer and the screen (over magazines and near the glasses). In fact, the projector is
so versatile, it can be placed on a bookshelf or installed in the ceiling corner opposite
to
the screen. Also, the double keystone adjustment provides a 10° optical correction for a
perfectly rectangular image without artifacts. And, where high-ceiling installations are
an
issue, a digital keystone correction can be added (via Remote Control) up to a maximum
projector tilt of 27°. Last but not least, SIM2 has developed a special, whisper-quiet
mechanical design for extremely low acoustic noise..
