INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of the SIM2 Grand Cinema RTX system! The RTX system combines the signal processing capabilities of the DigiOptical Image Processor with the high fidelity reproduction of the DLP™ technology Display by linking the two units via a fibre optic cable.

The DigiOptical Image Processor, which should be ideally located close to the signal sources, supports and processes a wide range of video signals, transmitting them to the display by means of a fibre optic link cable. The large number of inputs available (2 Composite Video inputs, 2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic RGB inputs and 1 DVI-D input) ensures the system supports a wide variety of analogue and digital sources: DVD players, VCRs,...
INSTALLATION CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS SIM2’s RTX system is made up of the following components (Fig.1): • Display • DigiOptical Image Processor • remote control • DigiOptical Image Processor power supply unit • three power cables for the Display • three power cables for the DigiOptical Image Processor •...
During installation of the fibre optic cable: • The individual optical cables are delicate: always handle the main cable without touching the individual optical cables (Fig. 3). Never pull the individual optical cables or connectors; if necessary, you may pull the main three-core cable. •...

The video signals that can be connected to this input can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scanning video, high definition video). Some sources provide the facility to choose between a progressive signal or an interlaced signal.
2 OPERATION SWITCHING ON AND OFF The RTX system consists of the Display and the DigiOptical Image Processor (which is also the system control centre). The DigiOptical Image Processor sends commands to the Display and receives operating status information from the Display and function commands from the user.

by pressing the ESC key, or when the time allowed for displaying the on-screen menu has lapsed (set in the Set-up Menu). Inputs 5, 6, 7 and 8 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals, at 15 kHz, 32 kHz or higher. The association between the input and the type of signal is made from the pull-down menu that appears on the right of the <...
SHARPNESS MODE This allows you to select the type of processing associated with sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or interlaced video signal VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic signals use GRAPHIC MODE. FILTER This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal is processed.
Restores original factory settings except for POSITION and Y/C Delay. INFO Displays the current status of the projector and information concerning the projected video/graphic signal. This function is displayed on pressing (or, in the absence of the On Screen Display, the remote control).
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The units in the system do not require internal adjustments and do not contain any user-serviceable parts. For replacement of the lamp or any other service requirements seek qualified technical assistance from your nearest Dealer. A soft cloth is normally sufficient for cleaning the DigiOptical Image Processor or the Display.
