视丽（SIM2） HT3000 Host

the grand cinema™ ht3000 host, the latest addition to sim2’s award-winning grand cinema™ ht range, takes a modular theme for its design, by dividing theprojectorinto its two major constituent parts: the projector itself and the processing electronics. this 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 thesourcecomponents in a home theatre system.

the host concept (high-definition optical signal transfer) is the high-integrity fibre-optic connection method used between the projector and host video input processing unit. this simple single connection can be run to distances of up to 250m (750ft), whilst maintaining total signal integrity. the host module can be sited with the source components, keeping their cable lengths (and picture quality losses) to a minimum. the host module’s on-board readout displays all vital system information at the touch of a button.

this premium single chip projector offers true, uncompressed 1920x1080hdtvresolution, thanks to a 0.95" 1080p dlp® chipset from texas instruments. combining this new chipset with the precision optics in sim2’s alphapath™ light engine, the ht3000 host is able to reach a new level of cinematic realism in single chip projection. unishape™ lamp technology, coupled with brilliantcolor™, delivers a increase inbrightness(at d65), deeper blacks, a reduction ofdigitalartefacts and a wider, more vivid colour palette than the previous ht3000 model.

the grand cinema ht3000 host utilizes full 10-bit video processing, with high-definitionscalingand superior de-interlacing capabilities, to create the highest quality video images from all sources (including 1080p@24hz). add to this, the ability to connect up to sixhdmi-equipped sources, along with a plethora of analogue inputs and it is easy to see how powerful a proposition sim2’s host technology can be for both customer and installer alike.

taking styling cues from the c3x series, ht3000 host sports an elegant giorgio revoldini designed cabinet in sim2’s signature gunmetal gray finish.
