The Christie DS+Series is ideal or applications
where image color and clarity are paramount.
When images need to speak volumes, these
projectors deliver high brightness, excellent
color and brightness uni ormity.
NASA’s Jet ropulsion Laboratory (J L) has
installed two Christie DL ®projectors as part
of a recent renovation of the Laboratory’s
Executive Conference Room. The room features
state-of-the-art technology and is the main setting
for meetings and conferences by J L’s
top decision
makers and staff. The Executive
Conference Room
represents another successful
installation at J L for Christie. Last year, J L
installed Christie DL ®projectors in the von
Karman Auditorium in asadena, California,
to display mission images in briefings with
members of the international press.
Display Technology
eaturing high-quality DLP®technology, the
Christie DS+Series has proven to be the world’s
favorite 3-chip, DLP®projector series. Highly
reliable, low maintenance, DLP technology
delivers high brightness and uniformity,
unsurpassed color and control capabilities.
The 3-chip SXGA+ engines are driven by Xenon
illumination and deliver superior image quality
and color repeatability.
Image Quality and Processing
With 10-bit image processing, the Christie DS+
Series offers high bandwidth signal processing,
supporting functionality such as Picture in Picture
and seamless switching between sources.
Image Blending
or added ease of blending in tiled applications,
Digital Black Level Adjustment lets you match
the blended (gutter) black levels with the non-
blended black levels – whether multiple projectors
on a single screen, or multiple screen displays.
Ease o Use
A user-friendly Graphic User Interface (GUI)
makes operation and set-up of the entire
Christie DS+Series uncomplicated. The GUI
enables full and easy control of the projector.
Multiple control options let you choose what’s
best for your application – built-in IR and wired
remote keypad; RS-422 or RS-232 control; or
through ChristieNETTM via the Ethernet port.
Motorized lens functions provide power focus,
zoom, horizontal and vertical offset – all at the
touch of a button. Auto set-up instinctively
recognizes sources and sets up correct
brightness, contrast and position.
Serviceability
Operation and maintenance of this Series is
easy as well. ield-alignable DMDs and a
cleanable optical engine put full control in the
hands of the user. Replacement lamp costs are
low and Christie offers the best warranties on
the market – 2 years parts and labor
(excluding lamp).
