lution occurs without alterations of image quality, in accordan-
ce with an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several
definable by the user.
All image adjustments can be performed with the remote
control with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively, the
unit can be controlled by from a home automation system
through the serial port.
Thanks to the new optical system based on three DMD™ chips
(each with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels), the C3X-LINK enables
making full use of the Texas Instruments DLP™ technology.
Each of the three DMD™ is dedicated to modulating one of
the primary colours from an optical prism.
The light reflected by the three DMD devices is recombined
by a second prism before being projected outside by an ap-
propriate set of lenses.
Using three DMD™ devices makes it possible to obtain images
without the rainbow effect or any artefacts, making it possible
to use natural colours and images that are more realistic than
ever.
The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating
tests by SIM2 to ensure maximum quality.
The lifetime of the lamp can therefore initially be approximately
30-60 hours.
Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also
runs additional statistical tests before despatch.
In this instance the packaging may show signs of having been
opened, and the hours operation of the lamp may be higher
than the value required under customary procedures.
The C3X-LINK system combines the signal processing capa-
bilities of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor with the high fidelity
reproduction of the DLP™ technology Projector by linking the
two units via a fibre optic cable.
The DigiOptic™ Image Processor, which should be ideally lo-
cated close to the signal sources, supports and processes a
wide range of video signals, transmitting them to the Projector
by means of a fibre optic link cable.
Transmission occurs without interference or attenuation over
distances of up to 500 metres. Moreover, the flexibility and
small size of the cable allow
easily installing the system in your home.
The large number of inputs available (2 Composite Video
inputs, 2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2
graphic RGB inputs, 1 DVI-D input and 1 HDMI™ - HDCP input)
ensures the system supports a wide variety of analog and digi-
tal sources: DVD players, VCRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers,
computers, game consoles, video cameras, etc.
The signal processing capabilities of the Image Processor en-
sure optimum reproduction of a broad range of input signals,
from interlaced video to high definition and graphics.
Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by
means of DCDi™ technology produces fluid, natural, images
free of flicker and stairstepping artefacts.
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 the
processor’s high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.
