a DLP Series-II 4K-ready projector along with Doremi’s external ShowVault,
theater owners have a proven lasting digital cinema solution in the industry. In
addition to 4K and HFR capabilities, the IMB features HDMI® or HDSDI (single or dual) inputs.

provides de-interlacing support (1080i) and automatic color space conversions.
