table.The video signals that can be connected to this input
can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard
video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scanning vi-
deo, high definition video).
Some sources provide the facility to choose between a
progressive signal or an interlaced signal. Although in general
a progressive signal is higher quality than an interlaced signal,
it is often preferable to perform the deinterlacing operation on
the RTX system rather than on the source because the RTX
system is equipped with Faroudja’s sophisticated directional
correlation deinterlacing technology (DCDi™).
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced
signals, but if the source features both progressive and
deinterlaced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the
quality of the pictures reproduced by the RTX system in the
two cases: deinterlacing performed by the RTX system (thanks
to Faroudja DCDi™ technology) is often more effective than
that performed at the source (typically a DVD player).
RGB GRAPHICS

10
This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic
signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector.
The signal source device (typically a personal computer or
game console) must be able to provide separate H/V
synchronisation or composite H+V.
The video or graphic signals that can be connected to this
input can have horizontal scan frequencies (H-sync) of between
32 and 80 kHz and a vertical frequency (V-sync) of between 48
and 100 Hz. Image resolution can vary between 640x480 and
1600x1200 pixels (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA).
DVI-D
11
If your source is equipped with this type of output (increasingly
present on the latest PCs) you can take advantage of the better
picture quality by using the DVI-D input.
HDMI™
12
With this input it is possible to integrate the optimal quality of a digital
image with a multichannel audio signal.
The HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) in fact integrates a
multichannel audio signal with the uncompressed high definition video
signal.
The interface also allows the exchange between the video source
and the HT 300 LINK system of control data to optimise the quality of
the projected image.
The HDMI™ input allows connection to video sources that use the
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to pro-
tect their contents. This protocol is in fact incorporated in the defini-
tion of the HDMI™ technology.
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI™ input, in-
ternal processing by the DIGIOPTIC IMAGE PROCESSOR separates
the video information from the audio information. This information is
then made available via an optical digital output with a female TOSLINK
connector in accordance with the S/PDIF standard.
CONTROL (RS232)
The system can be controlled via a personal computer or home
automation systems by means of the serial port: simply connect
this input via a serial cable from an RS232 serial port. On
request, SIM2 will send you a document containing the serial
port settings and the list of main commands.
