1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of the SIM2 Grand Cinema RTX 55H system!
Page 4
The RTX system combines the signal processing capabilities of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor with the high fidelity reproduction of the DLP™ technology Display by linking the two units via a fibre optic cable. The DigiOptic™ 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.
2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ATTENTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cable on the rear panel before removing the top cover of the Display. Refer to trained, authorised personnel for technical assistance. This symbol indicates the possible electric shock hazard associated with uninsulated live components in the interior of the unit.

CONNECTING THE VIDEO SOURCES Connect the cables from the video sources, the serial cable from the external control unit and the optical fibre cables for connection to the Display, to the rear panel of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor. To obtain the best performance from the RTX system, connect the various signal sources using good quality cables designed for video applications (rated impedance 75 Ω).

table.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 vi- deo, high definition video). Some sources provide the facility to choose between a progressive signal or an interlaced signal.
4 SWITCHING ON AND OFF The RTX system consists of the Display and the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (which is also the system control centre). The DigiOptic™ Image Processor sends commands to the Display and receives operating status information from the Display and function commands from the user.

6 REMOTE CONTROL The remote control transmits commands to the system by infrared signals. There are two infrared sensors, one at the front of the Display and one on the front panel of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor. Avoid placing obstructions between the remote control and the infrared sensor at the front of the Display;...

Input 11 is capable of receiving YCrCb or RGB signals coming from DVI-D sources. The selection should be made from the drop menu following the indications described above. After selecting the source signal (by means of the keys), press MENU+/MENU - to confirm and close the pull- down menu;...
BRIGHTNESS Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affecting white areas. Increasing the value will give more detail in darker parts of the picture. For correct adjustment it may prove useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale within which the black level and the level immediately above it must be separately identifiable.

OVERSCAN Remove noise around image. Some sources can produce a picture with noise along edges, thanks to the overscan function it is possible to drop such imperfections outside the projected area. The overscan value can be included between 0 (no overscan) and 32 (maximum value).
FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the Display to original factory settings except Position, Orientation, Y/C Delay, Zoom and Focus. Confirm? MENU LANGUAGE Lists the languages available for the On Screen Display menus. SOURCE LIST In order for the RTX55H system to be more flexible, the following described functions allow to modify the input selection menu making it more user friendly.
F1/F2 KEYS This allows to assign different functions to the remote control keys, named F1 and F2. The window is made of 4 options (Fig.17) , once for each line and by two columns showing the F1-F2 keys. The choice between F1 and F2 is made by the te control;...

MEMORIES The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single com- mand. There are 3 distinct Memories (Memory 1, Memory 2, Memory 3) for each of the 25 signal types managed: 1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO...
SAVE DEFAULT SETTINGS To restore the original values to a previously modified Memory, select the line corresponding to the Memory in question and open the pull-down menu ( key). Then select the line ‘Initial settings saved in Memory 1’. To confirm that the operation has been completed successfully, the message ‘Memory 1 initial- ised’...
9 MAINTENANCE 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 DigiOptic™ Image Processor or the Display.
