Sim2 Multimedia Projector Sirio 2014 Specifications

							1819
Created    for  the    most  demanding  home  
entertainment  system,  SIRIO  brings  a  balanced 
approach  to  high  brightness  projection,  with  a 
quality of picture that rivals that of the best projectors 
in its category. 
Designed  to  be  used  with  large  screen  sizes  or  in 
ambient  light  room  conditions,  where  high  light  
output  is  a  necessity,  SIRIO  uses  light-tuned  optical 
elements to maximize light output (up to 6,000 ANSI 
lumens) from its dual 350W lamps.
This is a star performer that has the power and clarity 
to  satisfy  the  most  demanding  viewer  (whether 
watching movies or playing videogames), as well as 
the  ability  to  deliver  bright,  contrast-rich  images  in 
real world lighting conditions. 
SIM2 has, in the SIRIO, created a 3D active single-chip 
DLP®-based  projector  without  the  compromises 
that are usually found in high brightness projectors, 
where  high  light  output  comes  at  the  cost  of  some 
important features. SIRIO has a balanced delivery of 
both high brightness and healthy contrast. 
SIRIO  is  available  with  a  choice  of  two  different 
SIM2  color  wheel  options,  namely  SIM2Color  and  
SIM2Shine.  Each  wheel  has  been  designed  to  offer 
optimal performance in specific applications: • 
SIM2color (standard)- The perfect choice for depth 
of color and gamut flexibility;
•  SIM2shine  (optional)  -  The  perfect  choice  where 
high brightness is a prerequisite. 
SIM2’s  SIRIO  sports    PureMovie,  PureAction,  and 
PureAction 3D user modes - each optimized for the 
various  demands  of  movie,  sports  and  3D  viewing 
–  and  SIM2’s  advanced  Live  Colors  Calibration 
2.0  software  that  enables  complete  adjustment 
of  the  primary,  secondary  and  white  point  color 
coordinates of the projector.  
The SIRIO has a comprehensive choice of connection 
options  on-board  an  RJ-45  connector  (Ethernet 
or  LAN)  and  a  USB  port  hosting  a  dedicated  USB-
Wireless adapter. These control ports allow
•  easy  integration  with  Home  Automation  control 
systems  (such  as  Crestron  or  AMX)  that  use  IP 
addressable control. 
•  Projector control by IP and 
•  remote  monitoring  and  serviceability  –  Through 
a dedicated IP address and a port, service centers 
can connect with the projector, which will in-turn 
communicate  back  a  parameter  list  (i.e.  Serial 
Number,  Firmware  version,  Lamp  hours  used, 
selected  input  and  resolution,  image  settings

etc.). The service center will have the capability to 
evaluate  a  reported  issue  with  the  projector  and 
make the necessary adjustments (where possible) 
to rectify the issue – remotely. 
SIRIO  also  utilizes  full  10-bit  video  processing, 
with  high-definition  scaling  and  de-interlacing 
capabilities,  to  create  the  highest  quality  video 
images from all sources (including 3D). 
For  ease  of  installation,  the  projector  sports  the 
supreme  flexibility  of  five,  high  quality  glass  lens 
options, making it possible to project an immaculate 
image  on  a  big  screen:  one  short  fixed  lens  (0.77:1) 
and four long throw ratio lenses (ranging from 1.21 
to 6.97:1).
The SIRIO is available in a striking matte black finish, 
the  same  as  that  used  in  the  luxury  automotive 
industry.

In the NERO, SIM2’s renowned product development 
team  has  created  a  projector  line  with  the  color 
accuracy and image clarity normally only associated 
with larger and more costly projectors, which is quite 
an  achievement.  That  such  a  compact  chassis  can 
generate the image quality of these larger projectors 
is  very  impressive;  that  it  also  outperforms  many  of 
them, in terms of color rendition and contrast ratio, 
is quite exceptional. NERO has the perfect balance of 
power, precision and innovation.
SIM2  has  taken  the  same  high  quality  optics  and 
electronics  from  our  renowned  3-Chip  LUMIS  3D-S 
line to create a state-of –the-art the single-chip DLP 
projector  series.  Partnering  the  latest  DLP®  chipset

280W lamp, which delivers up to 2000 ANSI lumens 
on-screen and a contrast ratio of up to 30,000:1. 
The  NERO  line  is  designed  for  use  in  small/medium 
reference  Home  Theaters with  controlled  ambient 
light – in both 2D and 3D*. 
The  NERO  line  has  been  endowed  with  three  user 
modes,  each  optimized  for  the  varying  demands  of 
sports  and  3D  viewing:  PureMovie,  PureAction  and 
PureAction 3D (120 Hz). SIM2’s  NERO  projectors  utilize  SIM2  active  3D 
technology,  with  advanced  processing  electronics 
to  ensure  that  your  3D  viewing  is  free  from  the 
flickering,  ghosting  and  motion  ‘shudder’  suffered 
by  most  3D  displays  to  bring  the  real  cinema  3D 
experience into your home.
For ease of installation, a choice of three high-quality 
glass  lenses  (T1,  T2  &  T3)  is  available  for  the  NERO 
line, giving the projectors a total throw ratio of 1.37-
3.9:1. To aid calibration SIM2’s Live Colors Calibration 
2.0  software  allows  complete  control  over  primary, 
secondary  and  white  point  color  coordinates  in 
both  2D  and  3D,  enabling  calibration  experts  to 
 
accurately  calibrate  the  final  image  on-screen  via  a 
user-friendly PC-based interface.
Taking styling cues from the LUMIS series, the NERO 
line  sports  an  elegant  Giorgio  Revoldini  designed 
cabinet in a contemporary soft-touch black finish.
Groundbreaking  technology  in  a  compact  form   
factor, room-friendly and desirable, the NERO series 
has it all.

It  has  long  been  acknowledged  that  projectors 
offer  the  best  movie-watching  experience  in  the 
home,  and  now,  thanks  to  SIM2’s  CRYSTAL  line, 
one  can  enjoy  this  life-size  image  quality  without 
compromising  on style.
The  CRYSTAL  line  features  a  typically  stylish  ‘made-
in-Italy’  design:  pure  technology  wrapped  in  a 
distinctive,  contemporary  cabinet.  The  contoured 
lateral casing provides the necessary thermal dispersion 
for  the  projector.  This  is  a  discreet,  modern  design 
enriched  by  a  luxurious  glass-accented  finish  and  a 
backlit graphic feature. 
Bright enough to light up a big screen and discreet 
enough  to  be  displayed  in  your  living  space, 
the  CRYSTAL  line  is  that  perfect  combination  of 
compact
size  and  high  performance.  Full  HD  movies,  sports 
and  games  take  on  a  whole  new  presence,  when 
compared  to  a  more  conventional  flat  panel  TV  
product.  The  CRYSTAL  line  also  enables  standard  
definition  sources  to  be  reproduced  at  1080p  
resolution,  thanks  to  sophisticated  SIM2  Cinema 
video processing electronics. 
The  CRYSTAL  line  is  ideally  suited  to  small/medium 
media rooms and family/game rooms with moderate 
ambient light.Key points:

The  CRYSTAL  line  consists  of  two  models:  CRYSTAL  35 
and CRYSTAL 45. Both share the same design aesthetics, 
but  differ  in  terms  of  light  output  and  contrast  ratio. 
CRYSTAL 45 utilizes a reference version of the CRYSTAL 
light engine with select optics plus enhanced processing 
electronics  to  achieve  this  improved  performance.  
DLP®  is  the  picture  technology  of  choice  for  the 
CRYSTAL  35/45;  a  Full  HD1080p  (1920  x  1080  pixel 
resolution)  chipset  is  used  in  its  design,  combining 
this  with  DynamicBlack™  contrast-enhancing 
technology.  The  CRYSTAL  projectors  are  able  to 
deliver  crisp,  clear  images  without  the  motion-blur 
associated with other picture technologies.SIM2 has 
utilized advanced lamp technology in the design of 
the  CRYSTAL  35/45  to  further  optimize  the  image 
performance  of  these  DLP®-based  projectors.  The 
electronics used in this system control the UHP lamp 
by way of a two-pulse system: one bright pulse and 
one  dark  pulse.  The  dark  pulse  enhances  contrast, 
while  the  bright  pulse  improves  brightness.  The 
resulting  image  fills  the  screen  with  vibrant  colors, 
deep blacks and bright whites. The CRYSTAL projectors are unlike any other projector 
on the market; their compact size, distinctive cabinet 
design  and  assured  image  performance  mean  that 
they will very soon become the centerpiece of your 
home  entertainment  system.  The  CRYSTAL  35/45 
are  compatible  with  all  video  standards  (including 
1080p@24fps)  and  offers  a  wide  choice  of  both 
analog  and  digital  source  inputs,  including  HDCP 
compliant  HDMI,  making  it  eminently  suitable  for 
use with today’s HD devices. 
Flexibility  of  placement  of  these  projectors  is  made 
easier with a generous lens throw ratio of 1.62~2.43:1 
and  vertical  lens  shift  adjustment,  while  the  280W 
lamp has the power to light up a big screen even in 
moderate ambient light.
Available  in  gloss  black  or  gloss  white  with  crystal-
glass accents.
