The SIM2 HT300 PLUS sports exceptional performance: a 28% reduction of the black level, a 17% increase of the brightness for an overall increase of the contrast ratio of +63%.
Based on the new HD-2 DMD™ chip by Texas Instruments (1280 x 720 pixels, micromirror tilting angle of 12°), the SIM2 HT300 PLUS delivers both native support for 720p, as well as a 16:9 aspect ratio for true High Definition capability.
The new HD2 chip, along with a further improved colour wheel and light engine, allows the SIM2 HT300 PLUS to reach a true contrast ratio of > 1800:1 thus delivering on the screen an even more realistic image. In respect to the already excellent performance of the HT300, SIM2 has further reduced the black level of –28% (almost matching the output of a CRT projector) and increased the brightness by +17%.
Also, the DVI-D input allows complete digital connectivity to an increasing amount of video sources equipped with digital outputs, hence guaranteeing a perfect reproduction without any loss of information or interference in the signal.
The HT300PLUS also sports all of the stunning features of the previous HT300 model, such as:
- Built-in deinterlacer and video enhancement: Directional Correlational Deinterlacing (DCDiTM) by Faroudja. This technology applies motion adaptive deinterlacing that prevents the introduction of motion artifacts and jagged edges from video signals that originate from video cameras. The DCDi™ also features patented 3:2 pull-down with advanced edit detection for exact reconstruction of the original film frame.
- Accurate color rendition: Thanks to a sophisticated proprietary optical design and a very high performance zoom lens, the reds, greens and blues are rich, saturated and vibrant colors.
- 6-segment color wheel that, by increasing the frequency of the colored images, dramatically reduces the color separation artifacts (commonly referred as a rainbow effect); the annoying color flickering visible to a small percentage of individuals.
- Complete compatibility with all video sources, picture standards (PAL, NTSC, SECAM) and computer graphics up to 1600 x 1200 pixels resolution (compressed).al film frame.
New remote control: Always tuned to home theater enthusiasts’ needs, SIM2 equipped its HT300 LINK with a backlit remote control for an easy access to product commands and OSD functions even in a dark environment.
