NAB/LAS VEGAS – (April 8, 2015) – Christie® is setting a new visual display standard at NAB 2015in Las Vegas, April 13 – 16, with solutions stretching the imagination and the boundaries of possibility while delivering the performance and affordability demanded by the market.
Launching at NAB is the new Christie D Series 3LCD single-lamp digital projector series with brightness ranges of 6000-8000 lumens and 10,000:1 contrast ratio. A new 0.38:1 Ultra Short Throw (UST) lens with an all-glass element lens for both Christie D Series* and Christie Q Series, will also debut. The Christie UST lenses offer greater thermal stability and reduced image drift compared to lenses using plastic lens elements for greater flexibility in designing panoramic multi-projector displays, while providing high brightness and lifelike images.
Not to be missed is the Christie Innovation Theater where - using RGB laser technology in a large, open theater - Christie will demonstrate Rec2020 content and 60,000 lumens of brilliant light using 3P laser. Rec2020 color provides a better representation of real world color than the commonly used color spaces for television and cinema.
