market, this feature enables the removal  of any 
perceived “double imaging” of content due to 
image frame perception in the eye.
• Our Matrix line offers an industry first with 
accurate frame display for NONCRT projectors 
that has been able to nullify the artifact to the 
eye of smearing or double image perception 
for use in fast simulation environments.
•Can be considered to reduce latency when 
compared to the current Simulation line (one 
frame plus as few as 1020 lines for warping 
if required).
•AccuFrame
™technology is being added as a 
free firmware upgrade to all current and 
futurethree chip models.
