SIM2 Grand Cinema C3X Series
3CX Lumis Host
The Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host, the latest addition to SIM2's
award-winning Grand Cinema™ C3X series, takes a modular theme for
its design, by dividing the projector into its two major constituent
parts: the projector itself and the processing electronics. This modular
design approach not only allows for one simple connection between the
units, but also eliminates the detrimental signal losses suffered when
using long cable runs from the source components in a home theatre
system.
The Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host projector achieves extraordinary
picture quality through the partnership of the latest 0,95" 1080p DC4
DLP® chipset from Texas Instruments, the precision optics of SIM2's
ALPHAPATH™ light engine, and DynamicBlack™ technology. No
other projector technology can match the superb color depth, excellent
contrast ratio (up to 35.000:1) and exceptional brightness (3000
Ansi Lumens) that the Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host is able to
deliver.
Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host combines DynamicBlack™
technology with the world-renowned technical expertise of SIM2's R&D
design team to achieve increased contrast and black level performance
from this new projector. This improved black level performance enables
the C3X Lumis Host to produce images that contain the maximum amount of
detail possible in dark scenes without compromising black level or the
excellent dynamic range available from DLP technology.
SIM2 has developed a unique solution to achieve this, using
three distinct specialized components: a user adjustable iris,
DynamicBlack™ technology and a new dimmable lamp. This means
that the Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host can be easily configured
to meet the exacting requirements of a wide range of home theatre and
professional applications, optimising light intensity and black level
to each scenario.
Whether the requirement is for high brightness (3000 Ansi Lumens)
or optimum black level in darkened conditions, C3X Lumis Host offers
unrivalled customization and flexibility.
For ease of installation, a choice of three lens options is available
for Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host, which allows for even greater
flexibility in the positioning of the projector. Add to this, the wide
choice of control options on offer: IR, RS232 and IP addressable, and
C3X Lumis Host becomes a very potent proposition for installers and
customers alike.
The Grand Cinema™ C3X Lumis Host is performance and elegance
exemplified - a true Italian masterpiece. Available in high-gloss Silver
Black finish.
SIM2 HOST Module
The SIM2 HOST (High-definition Optical Signal Transfer) module
houses the projector's control electronics in a discrete unit designed
for maximum flexibility of placement, thanks to SIM2's Host three-line
digital high-integrity fiber-optic connection. This simple single
connection can be run to distances of up to 250m (800ft), and is
impervious to electrical interference - even when placed in conduit
containing high voltage electrical cables - maintaining total signal
integrity between source and projector. The Host module incorporates
superbly flexible video switching with no less than six HDCP-compliant
HDMI inputs, three HD-capable component-video inputs, and an array
of legacy composite- and S-video inputs, as well as RGB, DVI and SDI
professional input. A dedicated 10/100 Mbit Ethernet connector (LAN)
is fitted as standard, allowing the product to be connected to a LAN
network or to the Internet. This network connection can be used to
remotely control the projector using TCP/IP commands or to feedback
projector operating status information such as serial number, working
hours and firmware version to a designated e-mail address.
