Sim2 MICO 150

MSRP: 28,000
Ship date: 10/1/2011

MICO 150 utilizes the same Super PureLED and active 3D* technologies as the MICO 160. The video processing electronics are the same as those used in SIM2’s high-end LUMIS 3D-S 3-chip series and offer the same optimized picture modes for 2D and 3D viewing: PureMovie, PureMotion 2D and PureMotion 3D. SUPER PureLED technology is a true all-digital system, with a trio of LEDs (red, green and blue) acting as both light and color source for the DLP™ chipset. The purity of color and the ability of this technology to deliver light as and when it is needed provide the MICO 150 with the ability to produce rich, dynamic and colorful images. A 0.95” DarkChip4 DLP™ chipset, MICO optical light engine and SIM2 processing electronics complete the feature list of Super PureLED technology. MICO 150 has 1,000 lumens light output and a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 with DynamicBlack®. A choice of three lenses comes as standard with the MICO 150, giving the projector a total throw ratio of 1.5-3.9:1 and 0.675:1, making it suitable for a wide range of home theater systems. MICO 150 has a newly designed cabinet with crystal glass accents, and is available in matte black.


Features

SIM2 designs projectors with a clear aim in mind: to satisfy the demands of discerning customers seeking the finest quality images in their homes. MICO 150 easily delivers this, whilst not losing sight of the fact that consumers are incorporating electronic devices with many different functions into their everyday lives, expecting them to operate with each other harmoniously. This new SIM2 projector integrates into this scenario with ease. Control of the product is available via IR or RS232, making it compatible with control systems from the industry's leading manufacturers. MICO 160 utilizes 3D(*) technology and SUPER PureLED; this enhanced version of SIM2's own PureLED technology uses more powerful LED modules to produce 1.100 lumens of light output. This makes the MICO 150 considerably brighter than other LED designs, by quite a margin. SIM2's engineers have designed the 3D active models with three user modes, each optimized for the various demands of movie, sports and 3D viewing: • PureMovie (2D): allows a pure presentation of the signal coming from your source: all but the most basic circuitry is bypassed in order to ensure a more "film-like" viewing experience. SIM2's PureMovie allows the delivery of the widest contrast ratio and deepest black level performance from the projector. • PureMotion (2D): has been specifically designed for fast-motion video material, resulting in smooth motion, free from the ‘smear' or ‘judder' that can affect the image. The PureMotion mode is particularly suited to fast-action sports viewing, where the ability to easily follow the action, regardless of its intensity, is paramount. •PureMotion 3D: is SIM2's implementation of the next level in reality reproduction: 3D video visualization. PureMotion includes the state-of-the-art of 3D technologies - like the Triple Flash - in order to ensure 3D viewing free of flickering, ghosting and motion "shudder" suffered by most 3D displays.

Benefits

The MICO 150 is built with an eco-friendly, lamp-free PureLED light source technology that can output a pure and narrow light spectrum (one for each primary color) and deliver an incredible 1,100 ANSI Lumens of brightness. The use of three separate light elements of red, green and blue, provide wider and more consistent color reproduction - an unbelievable 28% wider than NTSC. At the same time, it stays consistent over its entire lifetime with an average lumen decay of less than 5% after 2000 hours. MICO 150's technologically advanced liquid-cooling system reduces its operating noise to an extremely quiet level. The MICO 150 incorporates several advanced features designed to improve energy efficiency, making optimized power consumption one of its key benefits. MICO 150 gives the viewer a totally new home theatre experience, in terms of picture quality, with the added bonus that the expected lifetime of the LED modules is estimated at around 30.000 hours - compared to a typical lamp lifetime of around 3,000 hours. It means that one could use the projector for 4 hours a day over a period of 20 years! The result is an efficient and reliable projector with a low cost of ownership.
