Christie Vista S3 User manual

Vista S3
When Image is Everything…
The Vista S3 represents an evolution in projection technology.
Utilizing possibly the most advanced optical systems available today
in conjunction with Christie’s superior digital processing technology,
the S3 promotes outstanding image performance.
At the heart of the S3 lies the very latest Digital Light
Processing™ technology, a 3-chip DMD™ set with true SXGA
resolution combines with a highly efficient 700W Xenon
CERMAX®illumination system to deliver the sharpest, brightest
and most faithfully reproduced images. The S3 also gives you
the capability to input pixel formats with independent horizontal
and vertical scaling control, this and the optional ADP
(Advanced Digital Processing) module allows you to handle the
most demanding projection requirements to place the perfect
picture on your screen.
The S3 shares a common architecture with all other models in
the Vista range. If your projection needs change, your S3 system
can change to meet them. The S3 can be upgraded at only an
incremental cost to deliver 5000 ANSI lumens of stunning SXGA
resolution images.
This compact unit weighs in at just 40 kg and the projector’s
simple and functional design is both practical and unobtrusive,
ensuring your audience’s attention remains fixed firmly on your
presentations. This powerful projection system is supported by a
comprehensive selection of lenses, modules and accessories
making it ideal for a wide range of fixed installation applications.
