on the display wall. Christie’s TVC series
controllers and Spyder series video processors
provide this functionality. Specialized internal
software and hardware enable the tiled video
wall displays to respond as one single ultra-high
resolution desktop.
3. Content management
Whether a video wall has only a few projection
displays or a huge array of displays, the Christie
TVC series controller is extremely capable
to display all the information you need to see.
High resolution graphics and video from
multiple sources can be displayed at any size,
anywhere with Christie MASTERSuiteTM wall
management software. It’s the perfect blend
of functionality and simplicity. MASTERSuiteTM
includes both MediaManagerTM and
WallManagerTM components. MediaManagerTM
is ideal for users requiring management
and control of media input sources while

Added features and benefits
Ultra-high contrast ratios for superior image •
clarity and performance. Christie specifies
contrast ratio in both full field, and more
importantly, ANSI.
Wide range of 1-chip and 3-chip projection •
models to match ideal brightness and
resolution to required screen size.
Hot-swappable, dual lamp system with •
automatic lamp changer on 1-chip models.
When a lamp fails, automatic switch-over
to the secondary lamp occurs. Within one
minute, and minimal disruption, the new
lamp is up to full brightness.
Simultaneous dual lamp operation on 3-chip •
(“DL”) models. If a lamp fails, the image isn’t
disrupted. The failed lamp may be replaced
while the projector remains in operation.
•
Automatic color calibration on dual-lamp
1-chip models. Each lamp comes with its
own simple plug-in memory card to store
spectral characteristics unique to that lamp.
After a manual or automatic lamp change, the
the
projector uses this data to re-calibrate itself
to compensate for lamp spectral variations
between old and new lamps. In
addition,
D132U models include ColorLOCTM, an
embedded color sensor enables capability
for continuous color monitoring and correction.
If color-shifts occur over time, the projector
automatically provides color correction to best
maintain color balance across the display wall.
