Sim2 launched its second upgraded version of the award-winning Grand Cinema C3X projector : the C3X 1080.

The C3X 1080 is said to be the smallest and lightest from Sim2 (17-inch-square, 22-pounds). But size hasn’t prejudiced technology in any way! Indeed, the Ferrari of projectors is based on a trio of the latest 0.95-inch, 1080p DLP chipsets (with new DarkChip4 technology) from Texas Instruments. The three-chip SIM2 design further exploits improved all-glass optics in SIM2’s proprietary ALPHAPATH light engine to form a system able to deliver full-HD, 1920 x 1080 progressive video with a native contrast ratio at 10000:1.

The C3X 1080 has full-depth 10-bit video processing, with HD scaling and deinterlacing capabilities, and maintains 1080p/24fps full-HD purity under actual content-playback conditions. The SIM2’s newly developed, advanced color-management software is available to permit installers and calibrators to precisely match each projector to its home theater environment, with near total control over color, and white-point coordinates, gamma correction, and more.

You’ll find two HDMI inputs plus alot more to ease connectivity for control and software/firmware communications, and even an optical digital-audio. There are 3 lenses available (T1, T2 and T3 covering the super short (1.44x) to very long (over 3.6x).

Available in November 2007 with the following finish options: High-gloss Gunmetal (standard), Black, Red, and Gold color options available to order.
