Champion of light and color
SIRIO

Engineered 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.
