Display technology
The Christie DW Series provides the best
1280 x 720 image quality in 3-chip DLP
®
projection available. Low maintenance,
highly reliable DLP
®
technology delivers high
brightness and unsurpassed color, brightness
uniformity and control capabilities in a native
widescreen format.
Image quality
3-chip DLP
®
products now come standard with
dust sealed DMD’s to prevent contaminants
from getting on imaging surfaces. This ensures
a crisp, dust-free, high-brightness, high-
resolution image, with the added assurance
of less maintenance in harsh environments.
The 3-chip 720 engines are driven by Xenon
illumination and deliver superior image quality,
repeatability of colors and the ability to
edgeblend and tile images – whether multiple
projectors on a single screen, or multiple screen
displays. The enhanced optical system in the
Christie DW4Kc/DW6Kc models allows for a
film-like color experience.
Image processing
With 10-bit image processing, the Christie
DW Series offers high bandwidth signal
processing. The high bandwidth supports
additional functionality such as Picture-in-Picture
and seamless switching between sources.
Serviceability
Operation and maintenance of the Christie
DW Series is easy as well. Field-alignable DMDs
and a fully dust sealed DMD system put full
control in the hands of the user. Replacement
lamp costs are low and Christie offers the best
warranties on the market – two years parts and
labor (excluding the lamp).
Ease of use
A user-friendly Graphic User Interface makes
operation and set-up of the entire Christie
DW Series uncomplicated. The GUI enables full
and easy control of the projector. Multiple
control options let the user choose what’s best
for their application – built-in, IR and wired
remote keypad; RS-422 or RS-232 control; or
through ChristieNET™ via the Ethernet port.
Motorized lens functions provide power focus,
zoom, horizontal and vertical offset functions all
at the touch of a button. Auto set-up recognizes
sources and sets up correct brightness, contrast
and position.
With either 1kW or 1.2kW, the Christie
DW Series features user-replaceable,
pre-aligned Xenon lamp modules with
adjustable lamp power for lower brightness.
The stable color temperature over the
course of the lamp life and the power range
provides the best lamp technology for color
matching across multiple screens.
The Christie DW Series features an
extremely high contrast ratio of 1600-2000:1
full field (400:1 min ANSI contrast ratio) with
the motorized IRIS, users can adjust for high
contrast ratio and better black levels, for
any given application.
