Wolf Cinema Projector SDC-8 Specifications

							 SDC-81080p D-ILA 3D Front Projector
SDC-8 Wolf Cinema’s “GRAYWOLF” 3D Cinema Projector
Wolf Cinema proudly announces the model SDC-8, the first in a new series for 2013 and 
affectionately known as “GrayWolf”. This all-new home cinema projector comes equipped to 
deliver a no-compromise, breathtaking 2D and 3D image [glasses sold separately], commencing 
in December 2012 and at a very accessible price.
Suitable on home theater screens up to 11’ wide, the SDC-8 is customized around a next 
generation three-chip, 1080p D-ILA® [Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier] light engine. D-ILA 
technology, originally developed by the Victor Company of Japan [JVC], produces stunning 
film-like images with natural color renditions and deep contrast level performance. The system 
is complemented by custom Wolf Cinema video processing and advanced optics that deliver 
razor-sharp images from today’s most popular HD sources.
The SDC-8 is wrapped in an elegant high-gloss dark gray cabinet, which comprises a highly-
efficient thermal design for extended projector and lamp life. Multiple whisper fans keep the 
light engine at optimum running temperatures by routing air in a rear-to-front design, facilitating 
a much wider range of installation options. Dual HDMI 1.4 inputs, one set of component video 
plus full system IR remote control, LAN and RS-232 control capabilities are included for ease 
of connectivity and usage.
Continuing with our 2013 editions is the proven Wolf Cinema VariScope™ lens memory system. 
This technology facilitates rapid access to three of your desired TV or film aspect ratios – ex., 
1.78:1, 1.85:1 and 2.35:1– all without the need for an external anamorphic lens. This provides 
for full 2:35:1 CinemaScope™ widescreen viewing without those unwanted top/bottom “black 
bars” on appropriate sized screens. And for true film aficionados, two precision VariScope FX 
fixed anamorphic lens assemblies are also available – especially useful when taking advantage 
of the full installation range of the primary system optics. Last but not least, optimized Wolf 
Cinema 3D shutter glasses and the 3D signal emitter remain key options, available whenever 
one wants the very best 3D viewing experience.
