Christie LX900 User manual

Christie’s latest digital projector provides high brightness at
9000 ANSI lumens and a 2000:1 contrast ratio from a dual lamp,
optical engine. The Christie LX900 boasts high performance, low
maintenance and an overall low cost of ownership.
The Christie LX900 features inorganic LCD technology that
provides a long life optical engine designed for exceptional
image performance without compromise. Enhanced by 10-bit
video processing, the Christie LX900 produces natural, color tone
reproduction, picture stability (without image noise) and flawless
video playback.
Dual lamps deliver the same incredible brightness as the competition
achieves with four lamps, with less maintenance and lower cost of
operation. Auto-switching lamps in single-lamp mode allows for
redundancy in critical operations as well as ease of use by providing
intuitive technology for continued operation.
Service intervals are extended using a new AutoFilter air filtration
system. This easy-to-use cartridge system automatically rotates
a new sheet of filter for up to 10,000 hours (in typical conditions)
before requiring replacement.
With a suite of optional high performance lenses and a range of input
modules, you can match the capabilities of the LX900 to the signals
you require – including HD-SDI sources. The Christie LX900 is flexible
enough for virtually any installation including large conference rooms,
medium-size auditoriums and staging applications. With stacking
capability, you can easily increase brightness by combining two units.

LX900
Bright and flexible, designed to fit any installation

AutoFilter system provides
10,000 hours of hassle-free
operation (typical use), before
having to replace the cartridge,
reducing the total cost of
ownership of the projector.
The LX900 new dual lamp
design provides high brightness
and increased uniformity even in
a single lamp mode.
