World’s most installed 3D projector
The Christie Mirage Series offers the first purpose-built stereoscopic
line of projectors that are the most installed 3D projectors in the
world. The series ranges from 2800 to 17,500 ANSI lumens for active
stereoscopic images from a single projector. Mirage SXGA+ models
and the new HD versions are designed specifically for use in a variety
of 3D applications for all types of immersive environments including
cubes or CAVE systems and curved or flat screen powerwalls.
The S+, 3-chip, 3D projectors provide four brightness options making
them the brightest active-stereo DLP® product on the market. The
Christie Mirage HD Series sets a new benchmark in stereographic
projection as the first and only full (1920 x 1080p) HD active stereo
solution – utilized in a single projector or multi-projector array.

Taking advantage of the proven 10-bit processing that has been used in
our 2K resolution products, the Christie Mirage HD Series of projectors
continues to exceed expectations in image quality and reproduction.
High bandwidth supports the additional functionality of Picture in
Picture with simultaneous multi-source stereo and/or mono viewing 	
in foreground, background or both windows.
The HD Series enables a new level of compatibility with computers
and infrastructures that display up to a full 120Hz HD active stereo
without requiring super bandwidth DVI or Analog infrastructures.
Solutions range from cost-efficient single projector systems up to
high-end solutions, with high resolution, complex applications and
multiple systems.

Direct key access to the most-used major
functions and auto set-up of sources with
correct brightness, contrast and position
means operation and set-up of the Christie
Mirage Series are intuitive.

ChristieTWIST ™ 			
– total image control
With Christie’s image warping and edgeblending module, you can display virtually any
image on virtually any surface. ChristieTWIST™
provides users with fingertip control to expertly
edge-blend multiple images on all four sides
seamlessly, or warp an image to any shape on
any surface.
For high-quality, larger-than-life displays, the
Primary Color Adjust (PCA™) and input/output
gamma correction will match blended images
perfectly with exact color matching between
displays. Or, warp to any shape surface – curved
or spherical screens and anything in-between.
Controlled through a user defined warp grid
and easy to use software – ChristieTWIST™
features user controllable latency of less than
one frame. With blending and warping grids
that are completely user-definable and offer
an extremely fine level of control, displays can
take on any shape or dimension required. And
the multiple warps and blend properties can be
stored on the projector.

Brightness uniformity control

Competitive advantages

Adjusts center-to-edge brightness uniformity
across the image – with the Christie Mirage
Series you can achieve up to 100% uniformity.

•	 Higher resolution - SXGA+ 1400 x 1050 	

Dark interval adjustment (DIA™)
DIA™ gives the user a mechanism to tune the
projector’s interaction with the LCD shutter
glasses to achieve the optimum image with a
minimum of color artifacts or cross-talk between
left and right eye images. The dark interval is
the time between left and right frames when
the projector is showing black.

Stereo sync harness
Simplifying projector set-up for the end-user, the
stereo sync harness can provide projector control
of the phase of the output through the menu. This
purpose-built function for active stereo projection
supports emitters and enables left/right inversion.

	 or full HD 1920 x 1080

•	 Twice the contrast (1500-2000:1)
•	 Internal scaling of stereo signals
•	 Internal warping and enhanced 		
	 edge-blending module option with 		
	 ChristieTWIST™

	 3D projectors

•	 Supports full 120 Hz active HD stereo 		
	 without requiring ultra-high bandwidth 	
	 through unique video processing

•	 Stereo video capable with optional 		
	 HDSDI input module on Mirage HD

Minimum delay feature
The Christie Mirage Series provides a less than
one frame delay in image processing between
input and display. This requirement is critical for
applications where user response is dependent
on the visual display, without loss of detail,
flicker or motion artifacts.

Christie’s LiteLOC™ feature provides constant
brightness tracking and monitors lamp output.
It also automatically adjusts the power to
ensure constant, uniform brightness across
the image - on a multiple-projector screen or
multiple-screen display.

Christie’s Comprehensive Color Adjustment
provides the ability to individually adjust
actual RGB channels for even color matching
within individual projectors. This produces
true color representation across multi-screen
applications for a completely blended image.

Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science completed a CAVE®
VR system using four Christie Mirage 2000 active stereoscopic
DLP® projectors for their Theory and Computer Simulation
Center. The CAVE configuration comprises three soft screens for
the walls and one hard screen for the floor. Each screen measures
10-foot by 10-foot. Four Christie projectors using four mirrors
display stereo color images generated by an SGI ONYX2 graphic
workstation. The wall screen images are rear-projected and the
floor screen image is front-projected from a ceiling-mounted
Mirage 2000 projector.
