1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of the SIM2 Grand Cinema RTX 55H system! P ROSSECOR EGAMI ™ C ITPOIGID NO FFO 1
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.
• Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for future consultation. This manual contains important information on how to install and use this equipment correctly. Before using the equipment, read the safety prescriptions and instructions carefully. Keep the manual for future consultation. • Do not touch internal parts of the units. The units contain electrical parts carrying high voltages and operating at high temperatures.
3 INSTALLATION CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS SIM2’s RTX system is made up of the following components (Fig.1): • Display • DigiOptic™ Image Processor • remote control • DigiOptic™ Image Processor power supply unit • three power cables for the Display • three power cables for the DigiOptic™ Image Processor • triple fibre optic cable for linking the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the Display • one cable HDMI™-HDMI™ • one cable HDMI™-DVI • two brackets for mounting the DigiOptic™ Image Processor to the rack.
After removing the protective caps from the fibre optic cable connectors and the panel connectors, insert the fibre optic connectors carefully, matching the numbers shown on each element (Fig.4). Be very careful when handling optical fibres cable and connectors.

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 video, 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. The system can be controlled from either the remote control (via the infrared sensors on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and on the Display) or the keypad located on the rear of the Display.
In case the Display unit is shut down (for example due to a shut down of the Display unit by putting the switch in the “O” position or by accidentally unplugging the power cord cable) to re-boost the RTX system it is necessary to shut down the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and repeat the power-on procedure described in point 1 and 2. MENU ESC AUTO E S C N E M TO U A Fig. 8 U Switching the system off (Fig.9): • from the remote control ( key) • from the Display keypad ( key).
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; this will impair the remote control performance. The remote control requires four 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
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 and keys), press MENU+/MENU - to confirm and close the pulldown menu; the value you have just set will be displayed on the right of the symbol. As with the other inputs, you can now select the input just set by pressing the key.
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. Alternatively use a scene composed of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects.
Table 4 LETTERBOX: serves to display 4:3 letterbox image (with source signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio.
POSITION Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizontally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values.
FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the Display to original factory settings except Position, Orientation, Y/C Delay, Zoom and Focus. Confirm? No Yes rather than with the signal type. Once chosen to have the input visible, in the drop menu, by selecting the Name option it is possible to rename the source in use. This will make it easier to remember the source connected to a specific input.
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 and keys of the remote control; the function given to F1 and F2 is chosen with the and keys. The function delivered by the key is memorized by the intersection on the line and column. In the following window are described the 4 options.
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 command. There are 3 distinct Memories (Memory 1, Memory 2, Memory 3) for each of the 25 signal types managed: Some of these parameters may not be available for certain inputs or certain input signals, as indicated in Tables 4 and 5.
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 initialised’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘I’ appears to the left of the name of the memory.
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. Use a slightly moistened cloth to remove more stubborn dirt.
nearest Dealer. • Check the state of the connection by interpreting the code displayed by the system LEDs in accordance with Table 3. No picture • Check that the selected input is effectively connected to an active video or graphic source. • Make sure the video or graphic signals supplied by the source are compatible with the technical specifications of the RTX system or, in particular, the selected input.
