UK - Christie announced the launch of the Christie Mirage WU Series at Japan's Industry Virtual Reality Expo (IVR). The series is an expansion to Christie's Mirage Series of 3-Chip DLP, 3-D Active Stereo projectors. The four new projectors, the Mirage WU3, Mirage WU7, Mirage WU12 and Mirage WU18 offer more pixels, with WUXGA 1920 x 1200 native resolution and brightness options of 3,000, 6,600, 12,000 and 18,000 ANSI lumens.

The projectors feature built-in edge-blending and Christie Light Output Control (LITELOC) for constant brightness tracking and monitoring of lamp output. They also feature Comprehensive Colour Adjustment (CCA), allowing the adjustment of actual RGB channels in individual projectors for even colour matching across multi-screen applications. The optional Christie Twist module for internal image warping allows projection on virtually any screen or surface.

The low-maintenance Christie Mirage WU Series is compatible with the widest range of stereo and non-stereo sources. It joins Christie's powerful line-up of high-resolution projectors for simulation and visualisation, which range from cost-efficient single systems to high-end solutions for complex applications and arrays.

The projectors are complemented by the new Christie Spyder X20 video processor, which is suitable for visual environment applications. The Spyder X20 is capable of up to 20 MPX bandwidth high-resolution, regardless of image type and meets the most challenging multi-windowing, multiple displays and processing requirements, says the company.
