New 0.8" 720p DarkChip3™ by Texas Instruments

The HT300 E-LINK and HT300 E projectors are the first on the

market to feature the new 0.8" 720p DarkChip3™ by Texas

Instruments (HD2+ DC3). The DarkChip3™ incorporates smaller mirror

hinges, reduced gaps between mirrors, a flatter,more reflective surface and

a new light absorbent coating for unmatched contrast and color

uniformity. Also the DarkChip3™ is a Fast Track Pixel (FTP) chip that

allows an approx. 50% reduction of the dithering effect for an exceptionally

natural, crystal clear image.

Phenomenal Contrast Ratio

The DarkChip3™ coupled with improved software and SIM2 high quality optics allow

the HT300 E-LINK and HT300 E to reach a true contrast ratio of >3500:1 thus delivering

on screen an image of unprecedented quality from a single chip projector

Complete color control with the new SIM2 Live Colors Management (LCM)

and Gamma functions.

The HT300 E-LINK and HT300 E feature SIM2 LCM and Gamma functions. The LCM

algorithm allows you to precisely adjust color temperature to your

preferences Simply, choose from the 36 predefined white points

in CIE Chart. In addition, you may choose from the wide range of

possibilities provided by the Gamma Tables to optimize image to

the connected source (12).

Intelligent Memory functions

The HT300 E-LINK and HT300 E can store up to 3 image memory settings such as

brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc. for each input; that is 75 and 24 settings

respectively. When you select a new source, the parameters stored in each memory

may be applied simultaneously. Or, you may simply choose to recall despite the change

of source.

Future proof inputs and advanced video processing

The E-volution projectors feature an impressive array of digital connections, including

HDMI™ and DVI. HDMI™ is a purely digital connection that transmits the

uncompressed bitstream directly from the source through to the display - even high

definition - and is backwards compatible with DVI. The on board 2nd generation

DCDi™ Video Processing powered by Faroudja (FLI2310) guarantees an image that is

free from motion artefacts and that your film collection is displayed just as the Director

intended!

Fully-packed products

The HT300 E-LINK and HT300 E are all-inclusive

projectors, featuring a sophisticated proprietary

optical design for saturated and vibrant colors,

high performance long lamp life for low operating

costs, 6-segment color wheel for dramatically-

reduced color separation artefacts, long throw

ratio, power zoom and focus, and lens shift +

Keystone Adj. to fine-tune the projectors from

your viewing position.

cable

Contemporary cabinet design

The E-evolution projectors sport a new Phono-Absorbent cabinet to further

reduce noise emissions resulting from the spinning of the color wheel, and

it is available in three different colors: Gun Metal Gray (standard), Royal

Burgundy, and Shiny Silver.

DigiOptic
Image Processor

The DigiOpticTMImage Processor (HT300 E-LINK only)

The HT300 E-LINK features all the properties of the HT300 E plus SIM2's DigiOptic™ Image Processor, the remote unit equipped with a wide choice of

inputs and linked to the projector through a thin digital fiber optic cable (3,5mm - 0,14" diameter). This means incredible flexibility with the installation,

greatly reducing the need for numerous long cable runs to the projector.

The system is also upgradeable to accommodate future additional connections.
