SEPT. 5 | FROM TWICE: High-performance home theater projector manufacturer Sim2 used CEDIA Expo to reveal an alliance with startup Entertainment Experience to market what they called better-than Blu-ray-Disc high-def entertainment systems that will use a new high-def media format.

Under the deal, Sim2 is expected to have an exclusive window to market a bundled system including Entertainment Experience’s “Better Than Blu” Digital Entertainment Center hardware along with a Sim2 C3X 1080 home-theater projector. The first products are expected to be available in January at prices to be announced.

The Digital Entertainment Centers are essentially Hewlett-Packard-built high-performance PCs loaded with special Entertainment Experience software and a unique user interface that will playback “Beyond HD” 1080p high-def discs and files with up to three times the data rates of conventional HD disc movies. The advantage was said to deliver deeper colors and sharper images.
