 1  INTRODUCTION

The C3X1080 projector represents the state of the art in image 
processing combined with the innovative DLP™ 3 chip 1080p 
system and outstanding optics.
Its range of inputs (1 Composite Video input, 1 S-Video input, 
1 Components or RGB input, 1 graphic RGB input, 2 HDMI™ 
inputs)  allow it to be connected to a wide range of analogue 
and  digital  sources:  DVD  players,  video  recorders,  satellite 
and terrestrial receivers, computers, video game consoles, 
camcorders, etc.
Its image processing system permits optimum reproduction 
of a wide range of input signals, from interlaced video to high 
definition and digital graphics.
Faithful  reproduction  of  signals  at  higher  resolutions  (such 
as high definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of 
information or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the 
processor’s  high  pixel  rate  signal  acquisition  capabilities.
Different input signal resolutions can be adapted to match 
the specified screen resolution without loss of image quality, 
thanks to a generous selection of preset aspect ratios, some 
of which are user definable.
All picture adjustments can be made with the remote control 
interacting with a simple menu-activated On Screen Display; 
alternatively, the projector can be controlled by a domestic 
automation system through its serial port or USB port.

The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating 
tests by SIM2 to ensure the very highest quality.
The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 
hours.  In  addition  to  the  customary  checks,  the  Quality 
Control  department  also  runs  additional  statistical  tests 
before shipment. 
In such cases, the packaging may show signs of having 
been opened, and the hours of lamp operation shown may 
prove to be higher than those normally shown when only 
standard tests are performed.
