Christie Vista X3 User manual

Vista X3
When image is everything…
If image is everything to you, then Christie’s Vista X3 has
everything you need. More than 1 billion displayable colors
can be re-created to project the most resplendent and striking
visuals, courtesy of the very latest in 3-chip DLP™ technology.
A 13-bit user selectable gamma table combines 3000 ANSI
lumens of bright light, to deliver pixel perfect color accuracy. The
X3 uses a CERMAX®Xenon illumination system to ensure the
same color and brightness uniformity is delivered time after time.
The X3 shares a common modular architecture with all the other
models in the Vista range. If your projection needs change, your
X3 projection system can change to meet them. The X3 can be
upgraded at only an incremental cost and deliver stunning true
SXGA resolution images at 5000 ANSI lumens.
The X3 is compatible with the widest range of sources and
supported by a complete range of both fixed and zoom lenses.
And because the X3 has such tremendous lens offset (in both
lens directions), the X3 can present all your material to
stunning effect for a variety of fixtures and installations.
We would never offer our clients image without substance. The
X3 is brimming with features that make for both simple and
complete control of your presentations. Furthermore, the X3
offers reliability and serviceability second to none. So the X3
makes your images look great, but makes you look even better.
