SIM2
Italian Cinema Artistry — Handcrafted Projectors for the World's Finest Theaters
Request System DesignOverview
SIM2 Multimedia has been designing and manufacturing projectors in Pordenone, Italy since 1995, occupying a rarefied position: the intersection of reference-grade cinema performance and Italian industrial design.
The Crystal Series and NERO 4S represent the pinnacle of three-chip DLP and laser phosphor technology, delivering HDR images with contrast ratios and black levels that rival dedicated cinema installations.
At Peters Audio Video, SIM2 is reserved for clients building reference-grade private cinemas where the projector itself is part of the architectural experience — visible, beautiful, and uncompromising.

Specification Review
Choosing SIM2 for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. SIM2 families discussed on this page include Crystal Series, NERO 4S, Custom Installation. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: Room dimensions, seating positions, windows, intended sources and the proposed screen wall.

How We Install SIM2
Discovery & Design
Every SIM2 installation begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your home's architecture, existing infrastructure, and lifestyle needs to develop a detailed system proposal with room-by-room specifications and control interface design.
Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring SIM2 infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected SIM2 equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified SIM2 functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.
