Christie has announced the expansion of the popular Christie Matrix Series of proven 3-chip DLP® projectors with the introduction of the new Christie Matrix WU Series.  Designed for the requirements of high-performance simulation, the Christie Matrix WU2, Christie Matrix WU5 and Christie Matrix WU12 models feature true WUXGA 1920 x 1200 resolution.  Increased resolution, flexibility and powered for system solutions, the new Christie Matrix projectors deliver greater image detail to meet the demands of applications such as maritime, flight and air traffic control simulation. 

Purpose-built to handle even the most challenging of today’s simulation display requirements, the Christie Matrix WU Series features proven 3-Chip DLP technology and a low maintenance of 650,000-hours Mean-Time-Between-Failure for the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). The Christie Matrix WU Series is available in 2400, 5100 and 12,000 ANSI lumens and includes AccuFrame™, which nullifies image artefacts and smearing in high-speed simulation.  Excellent colour, brightness uniformity and display control allow for cost effective solutions for the same simulation display requirements. 

The Christie Matrix WU2 and WU5 models utilize a Color Purity Filter (CPF™) to enable excellent color saturation and colour matching.  In addition, Christie’s SuperCR™ technology, which provides a contrast ratio of up to 2000:1, delivers superior black levels for unsurpassed day and night scene blending.

The new Christie Matrix Series WUXGA models come with standard features such as Christie Twist™ image warping and edge blending, RGB colour matching, full control of gamma curve and greyscale tracking.  They also include the industry-first, Christie AccuFrame™, which significantly reduces visual artefacts caused by fast-moving objects. With high input bandwidth and less than one frame of propagation delay, the projection systems are suited to many applications and are also an ideal CRT replacement solution. www.christiedigital.com
