C3X Lumis
The Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS projectors, latest addition to SIM2’s award-winning Grand Cinema™ C3X series, are totally unique to SIM2 and represent the culmination of 10 years of innovation and research in the fiels of video projector design and technology.
The Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS projector achieves extraordinary picture quality through the partnership of the latest 0,95" 1080p DC4 DLP® chipset from Texas Instruments, the precision optics of SIM2’s ALPHAPATH™ light engine, and DynamicBlack™ technology. No other projector technology can match the superb color depth, excellent contrast ratio (up to 35.000:1) and exceptional brightness (3000 Ansi Lumens) that the Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS is able to deliver.
Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS combines DynamicBlack™ technology with the world-renowned technical expertise of SIM2’s R&D design team to achieve increased contrast and black level performance from this new projector. This improved black level performance enables the C3X LUMIS to produce images that contain the maximum amount of detail possible in dark scenes without compromising black level or the excellent dynamic range available from DLP technology.
SIM2 has developed a unique solution to achieve this, using three distinct specialized components: a user adjustable iris, DynamicBlack™ technology and a new dimmable lamp. This means that the Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS can be easily configured to meet the exacting requirements of a wide range of home theatre and professional applications, optimising light intensity and black level to each scenario.
In the best SIM2 tradition, the Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS is housed in a new stunning cabinet by renowned industrial designer Giorgio Revoldini. Colours are not simply the final aesthetical touch of a SIM2 product, but also the most versatile choice in home-positioning. Chromatic choices of great impact have led to a rigorous colour and finish selection and, therefore, to the widest decor compatibility. The Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS is available in the standard High-Gloss Gun Metal finish or in White, Black or Red color case that sports a combination of two different materials: the elegant and matte finish coupled with a glamorous and shiny one to create the ultimate design that will not be overlooked.
Whether the requirement is for high brightness (3000 Ansi Lumens) or optimum black level in darkened conditions, C3X LUMIS offers unrivalled customization and flexibility.
For ease of installation, a choice of three lens options is available for Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS, which allows for even greater flexibility in the positioning of the projector.
New Alpha Path light engine is featured with:
a. a new die-cast aluminium design dramatically improves thermal management of the light engine which means we are able to use a more powerful lamp to deliver brighter images. This improved design also houses the new elements of the dynamic black system and user adjustable iris.
b. a new tapered rod-integrator. The purpose of the rod-integrator is to accept the raw light energy from the lamp and convert it into a pure & refined beam of light. It is also where the light spot from the lamp is converted into a 16:9 aspect ratio before it hits the DMDs. After many ray-tracing simulations, our optical engineers found that the best possible result in terms of image quality was not obtained through a classic rectangular-rod but with a longer tapered one.
This new longer tapered design helps further improve brightness uniformity and efficiency of light transmission.
