1 INTRODUCTION
Thanks to the new optical system based on three chip DMD™, the
c3X allows to take advantage from DLP™ technology, the Texas
Instruments technology.
Each of the three DMD™ chip is dedicated to the modulation of one
of the primary colors coming from the optical prism, the reflected light,
after combination by a second prism, is projected outside using an
appropriate lens system.
The technology of the c3X allows to obtain images without rainbow
effect or any other type of artefact, in order to enjoy an even more
realistic images.
The large number of inputs available (1 composite Video inputs, 1
S-Video inputs, component or RGB inputs, 1 graphic RGB inputs, 1
HDMI™ Input) ensures the system supports a wide variety of analogue
and digital sources: DVD players, VcRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers,
computers, game consoles, video cameras, etc.
conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by means
of prestigious 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.

Adaptation of the input signal resolution to the Projector resolution oc-
curs without alterations of image quality, in accordance 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.
SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing in order to gua-
rantee the maximum product quality.
For this reason, when you start using the product lamp operating
hours may already be at between 30 and 60.
In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control department
performs additional statistical tests at the time of shipment.
In this case the packing may show signs of having been opened,
and the accumulated lamp operating hours may be slightly higher
than the hours associated with the standard tests.
