SIM2 has looked forward and now presents the Grand Cinema RTX line of large displays for Home Theatre. Certainly, its performance bears out the Ferrari analogy, and its slim, artistic design resembles that of no other TV on Earth

Based on Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology, the RTX-45 is a rear-projection display housed in a stylish cabinet. A separate control unit that links to the display via a proprietary fiberoptic cable adds to the RTX-45's uniqueness.

A single-chip DLP with a 1,280:720 array of microscopic mirrors creates the image that the RTX-45 projects onto its screen. At this resolution, the monitor is capable of displaying high-definition images. The single chip flashes the images sequentially through a six-segment color wheel, which has two segments each for the red, green, and blue primary colors. The duplicate segments allow the wheel to run faster, significantly reducing the rainbow effects that a four-segment color wheel might produce. All of these elements mix together to create a seamless image.
