Christie has unveiled the next generation of its 3-chip DLP Xenon platform - the Christie J Series - at PLASA 2011. This new platform targets a variety of applications within the rental, staging and fixed install segments, requiring high brightness, superior performance and crisp, clear images - all in a compact, rugged and reliable package.

"The best image in the world just got better," said George Tsintzouras, senior director product management, Business Products, Christie. "Christie has taken its highly successful Xenon product line and evolved it with exciting new features like embedded Christie Twist that allows for image warping without the need to purchase additional electronics cards. Driven by a Xenon illumination system that offers the best colour reproduction and stability, J Series also offers lenses with Intelligent Lens System (ILS) functionality and three resolutions, SXGA+, HD and WUXGA."

The Mirage versions of the J Series models are high-performance, active stereo projectors providing exceptional 3D performance. Easy to set up and configure, these models are compact, yet powerful and flexible. The new capabilities include full native resolution 3D inputs of 60Hz per eye and triple flash 144Hz 3D for exceptional 3D movie content playback.

"Feedback from our customers was instrumental in the technological improvements of the Christie J Series," continued Tsintzouras. "The platform was designed to enable customers to use their existing accessories and gear such as lamps, stacking mounts, projection lenses and M Series input cards. J Series is also the same size as its predecessor and yet is both brighter and more efficient. Our customers and partners also benefit from knowing that the J Series models are 3D upgradable, protecting their investment should the need for 3D arise in the future."

J Series features include built-in Christie Twist image warping and edge-blending, eliminating the need for external processors and reducing installation costs; Xenon DLP performance "in the most compact chassis in its class"; full 3D upgrade path; the ability to use existing legacy lamps, lenses and accessories; liquid cooling allows for operating temperatures up to 104°F (40°C) in Roadster and high power Mirage models; and portrait orientation capabilities.

"We're excited about this new generation of our Xenon 3-chip DLP® products," said Gary Fuller, vice president, Business Products, Christie. "The new electronics architecture is built on our tried and true Xenon platform. It enables us to offer many new features, as well as enhance the features that our partners and customers have told us they value in our products. We've made our extremely successful and widely used platform even better with the J Series."

"Christie is proud to present the technologically advanced J Series to our customers and partners," concluded Tsintzouras. "This is a significant milestone for Christie as we continue to bring superior products and services to the market."
