Also debuting at ISE is the Christie Q Series. The 1-chip DLP projector powerhouse with a sophisticated design delivers best-in-class performance with brightness options ranging from 8,500 to 10,000 lumens and XGA, WXGA, and WUXGA resolutions.
Boasting 6,000 lumens and a single-lamp design, the upgraded Christie G Series is the brightest in its category and provides the exceptional image quality, brightness and dependability that is essential for presentations in board and conference rooms. For higher education, government facilities and houses of worship with limited budgets, the Christie G Series delivers the cost effective solution combined with long-life DLP® technology needed in such environments.
A new category in the upgraded Christie G Series is the Christie DWX600-G with WXGA resolution. The Christie DWX600-G is ideal for applications where the superior image quality of 1-chip DLP and high brightness are vital but high resolution is secondary. Each upgraded Christie G Series projector is also equipped with a six-segment colour wheel for the widest possible colour range and more natural, vibrant images. Now shipping with a standard lens included, end users can also choose from a suite of optional lenses.
"As customer expectations change and grow, Christie is in the vanguard of providing brighter and better 1-chip DLP solutions for a variety of installations and with two upgraded models and a brand new WXGA model, Christie has a complete line-up of 1-chip DLP solutions for every presentation need," said Curtis Lingard, technical product manager, Christie. "The upgraded Christie G Series is durable and suitable for demanding environments such as signage and museums where the projector will be on for long periods of time. Unique to this class of projectors, the upgraded G Series also delivers multi-projector blends onto curved surfaces seamlessly and effortlessly for a perfect image every time."
The Christie DWU600-G replaces the DWU550-G and the Christie DHD600-G replaces the DHD550-G. Along with a boost in brightness, the new G Series models also offer 33 per cent longer lamp life over the previous models and are equipped with DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Simulation Mode for training purposes.
The Christie Q Series 1-chip DLP platform with brightness options ranging from 8,500 to 10,000 lumens and XGA, WXGA and WUXGA resolutions is equipped with eClarity - advanced image processing that significantly enhances images by providing greater control over image sharpness, gloss and shading.
"Whether displayed in portrait or landscape mode, Christie Q Series sets an industry benchmark for brightness and flexibility in this category of 1-chip DLP," said Frank Anzures, senior product manager, Christie. "With the finest digital display tools available combined with an unsurpassed commitment to 1-chip DLP solutions, end users have peace of mind with Christie."
Usable in either single lamp or dual lamp mode, Christie Q Series models include the Christie DXG1051, Christie DWX951 and the Christie DWU951. Both Q Series and G Series will ship in March with a three-year warranty.
