Sim2 debuted a new variant of the C3X 1080 dubbed, HOST. This is a two-piece package where the video processing is in a separate box from the projector itself and the two are interlinked via a fiber optic connection. The fiber can be run at distances up to 750ft giving a TON of flexibility in placement.

The C3X 1080 uses the latest Texas Instruments DarkChip 4 DMDs to deliver contrast ratios in excess of 10,000:1. It also features TI’s Dynamic Black for a dynamic contrast over 35,000:1. At about $32,000 this isn’t the average consumer’s projector but for those with means it puts out a great image. The HOST will be shipping later this month.
