3-Sep-03

SIM2 USA, Inc. announceD the addition of a second-generation remote DigiOpticô Image Processor (DOIP) to the new HT300 LINK DLPô front projector to provide greater installation flexibility and a wider choice of inputs. This advanced and unique technical solution provides quality connections to video sources up to 1,600 feet away.The Grand Cinema HT300 LINK is SIM2's flagship DLPô high-definition projector. The HT300 LINK features HDMIô and DVI (with HDCP) inputs. The HT300 LINK will also allow the user to request IEEE 1394 (FireWireÆ) digital input on the DOIP (available by the end of the year).The HT300 LINK uses fiber optic cabling to allow for one connection from the DOIP to the projector. The rack-mountable DOIP features a range of inputs (including HDMI) and can be connected through a single fiber optic cable, coupled with a system of three high-speed laser beams, to the projector for a loss-free and interference-free signal at a distance of up to 1,600 feet away. The thin fiber optic cable can be run through the wall and hidden for a seamless installation. As a new standard, the HT300 LINK is equipped with an enhanced six-segment color wheel, a proprietary optical design (sealed), and a zoom lens.The HT300 LINK utilizes the new Texas Instruments HD2+ chipset, which delivers a high-definition resolution of 1280 x 720 and micromirror tilting angle of 12 degrees. The new HD2+ chip, along with a further improved color wheel and light engine, allows the SIM2 HT300 LINK to achieve a rated contrast ratio of greater than 2,800:1. With respect to the original HT300, SIM2 has further improved the black level by 28 percent and added a brightness burst function which increases the brightness up to 15 percent.The HT300 LINK also features on-board second-generation DCDiô, powered by Faroudja, which applies video enhancement and motion-adaptive deinterlacing. DCDi also features patented 3:2 pulldown with advanced edit detection. Also new from SIM2 is the HT300 XTRA, a model that features the HD2+ chipset. As with the HT300 LINK, the HT300 XTRA features the improved color wheel and light engine. The HT300 XTRA features all the properties of the HT300 LINK, but does not include the DigiOptic Image Processor, and does not feature HDMI input, but does include DVI input.The HT300 LINK and the HT300 LINK XTRA are available in Gun Metal, Burgundy, and Shiny Silver. The HT300 LINK's MSRP is set at $14,995. The HT300 XTRA's MSRP is $11,995.For more information, visit www.sim2usa.com.
