The acclaimed Domino 80E projector from Italian projection specialist SIM2 has been awarded the 'Best projector over $8000' award at the Sound & Image awards held in Sydney October 31st 2008. The judges said: "A clever out-put modulated lamp is key to this projectors remarkable performance with excellent black levels, realistic colours and long lamp life.
The SIM2 Domino 80E features innovative new lamp technology called UNISHAPE (UNIversal SHAPEd Lamp Technology). It is a technology that has been developed in conjunction with Texas Instruments and features the latest TI DLP chipsets. What makes UNISHAPE unique is it is a modulating lamp, shaping the light out-put on millisecond time scales in synch with DMD chip and colour wheel. The results are dramatic. It delivers:
More colours (1-2 additional bits per colour possible.)
More brightness (up to 40% brightness increase.)
Higher contrast (up 40% improvement through deeper blacks and broghter whites.)
More colours in dark scenes (up to 43% improvement.)
Less artefacts - dithering and rainbow effect is diminished with new 6 segment colour wheels (RGB + Magenta, Yellow Cyan.)
The Domino 80E, as with all 1080p SIM2 projectors, uses high quality Fujinon BK7 glass lenses. BK7 is a borosilicate crown optical glass with high homogeneity and very low inclusion content. All lenses are also anti-reflection coated with multi-layer coating to avoid light scatter outside the light path which can degrade black levels. The result is that high definition images are delivered to the screen with perfect clarity, free of the distortions that can cause a loss of resolution and detail.
Other key specifications include HDMI input, component and VGA inputs, RS232 control capability and 2 x 12v trigger outputs for screen control. There are 3 custom user aspect ratios, which allow, amongst other things, the ability to use a 2.35:1 anamorphic lens adaptor without the need for an external processor to change the aspect ratio.

This next generation home theater projector is totally unique to SIM2 - no other manufacturer has the ability to produce a high performance 3-chip projector with such compact dimentions, which is why SIM2 has taken out five different patents for this product alone. The Grand Cinema C3X 1080 is without a doubt a true thoroughbred, offering unprecedented picture quality for the discerning home theatre customer.
The Grand Cinema C3X 1080 achieves this extraordinary picture quality through the partnership of the latest 0,95" 1080p DarkChip4 DLP chipset from Texas Instruments and the precision optics of SIM2's ALPHAPATH light engine. No other technology can match the superb colour depth, excellent contrast ratio (>10,000:1 typical) and exceptional brightness that Grand Cinema C3X 1080 delivers.
The Grand Cinema Grand Cinema C3X 1080 is performance and elegance personified - a true Italian masterpiece. Available in high-gloss Gun-Metal (Standard ), additional colours available on request.

The SIM2 HT-380 offers high end 1080p performance - a videophile's projector with a number of important features to enable top quality performance.
A key feature is Live Colour Calibration (LCC) a new profesional calibration system that allows video callibration to absolute reference levels. The professional calibrator can use the LCC software in conjunction with his or her colur analyser t attain reference levels for colour temperature, greyscale, primary colour points and even secondary colour points. The home cinema can now deliver accurate colour perfromance on a par with the best studio production facilities.
The HT-380 employs a new technology from Texas Instruments called BrilliantColour. This technology utilises a new colour processing algorithm and system level enhancements including secondary colours on the colour wheel to enable up to 50% higher picture brightness while providing more saturated, vibrant colours. This coupled with an all new UniShape lamp that modulates it's light output with millisecond precision to deliver deep inky blacks and radiant whites, while further improving colour saturation. The highest quality optics are used, ensuring every fine nuance of detail is delivered to the screen.
Two lens options are available for the HT-380; a shorter throw T1 lens (1.5-2.0:1 throw ratio) and longer throw T2 lens (2.0-3.0:1) option.
