SIM2
Multimedia recently announced a new addition to its Domino projector line:
the D80 projector based on Texas Instruments’ 0.95” 1080p DLP® chipset for a
true, uncompressed 1920x1080 HDTV resolution. The D80 joins its illustrious
award-winning predecessor - the Grand Cinema HT3000 – in the 0.95” 1080p DLP®
chipset resolution family line. This new chipset combined with full 10 bit
video processing, SIM2’s ALPHA PATH™ light engine, 7-segment colour wheel and

jagged edges. Also, the D80 features a wide selection of inputs - including
HDMI™ - and is compatible with all video and graphic standards. Easily
upgradeable, the RS232 allows enthusiasts to easily download the latest
control software. The D80 can represent the following formats: 16:9, 4:3
letter box format as well as three user-defined formats. Two 12 trigger
inputs and a RS232 input make integration of complete in-house media control

dnp takes the Supernova Screen one
step further
At Integrated Systems Europe 07 in
Amsterdam, dnp denmark presents a new retractable
version of their award-winning dnp Supernova front
projection screen – the dnp Supernova™ Flex Screen.
When not in use, the new flexible screen disappears into a stylish wall
mounted enclosure that compliments modern interior designs. Like the fixed
Supernova Screen, the Supernova Flex Screen delivers an extraordinary ten
times higher contrast and two times brighter images than standard front
screens. And since the entire screen is retractable, it combines the
outstanding Supernova image quality with a discreet and stylish presence.
Suspended by thin wires, the Supernova Flex Screen blends perfectly into the
environment. When not in use, a fast motor retracts the screen into a stylish
wall mounted enclosure. When the screen drops down it appears as a picture
frame without the usual ‘black drop’ common to other screens. Even when in
use the Supernova will be unobtrusive and blend into the environment. The
cover of the enclosure is removable and replaceable. It is offered in a variety
of options including a special stainable surface, which can be painted to
match the wall for totally invisible installation. The dnp
Supernova Flex Screen is available in 4:3, 16:9 and cinemascope format in
sizes up to 100”. The screen is compatible with all standard projectors.

16) Vogel’s Professional introduces
the new PFW185
Vogel’s
Professional introduces a new universal LCD/Plasma wall support safely
fitting large screens from 55” – 103” inch. Both for public use - like
shopping malls, waiting rooms and airports - as well as for domestic home
use, large screens (e.g. 55” inch and larger) are becoming more common. As
flat display technology is evolving, large display sizes become commercially
available at more attractive price levels. As a result, there is a growing demand
for wall supports that are capable of safely carrying these heavy large
screens. The PFW 185 was developed for the heaviest displays safely fitting
displays up to 103”, suitable for both professional and home applications.
With a weight capacity of 300KG/660LBS KG TÜV tested (maximum weight capacity
1500KG/ 3300LBS) it easily meets all safety standards and more. Two
wall-mounting plates ensure that the support always perfectly fits,
regardless the width of the screen. Two individual wall-mounting plates
(stud-mounting ready) ensure there is no limitation to the width of the
mounting points on the back of the display. This makes the new wall support
universal and flexible to use.

27) Artcoustic launches new precision monitor
and a matching subwoofer
The
Spitfire Monitor is based on the powerful DF75-55 X2 but with a more compact
form and durable finish ideal for use where the aesthetics are less crucial
i.e. behind a dedicated, fixed cinema screen. The Spitfire Monitor, like the

cinema, or anything in-between. The X2 bass system employs twin 10" X2
woofers which take low frequency response down to 35Hz, while the twin
rippled dome tweeters extend the high frequency response up to 40kHz at 96dB
(1w +/-2dB). The Spitfire Monitor is ideal for use in high-end installations,
where sound quality is paramount, such as mid-field to full-space studio
monitoring, for medium to large sized home cinema installations, and for
commercial use in bars, restaurants and corporate presentation facilities,
including commercial movie theatres. The Spitfire Monitor is bi-wirable, enabling control of the woofers and tweeters
independently and comes as a mirrored pair for accurate stereo monitoring. For
the ultimate in low-frequency performance, the Spitfire subwoofer delivers
awesome bass reproduction. The Spitfire Subwoofer is based on the Artcoustic DFS100-75 subwoofer but with a more compact
form and durable finish, making it ideal for the professional market, such as
recording and film studios, dedicated cinemas and fixed installations in
general. This model changes the way subwoofers are perceived. Employing no
less than four 10" X2 long-throw woofers, and the X2 bass system to
reproduce low frequency signals sumptuously, with high power handling and
extremely low distortion, right down to 15Hz.
