Reliability is in its genes. Performance is its genius.

Superior performance, high brightness and crisp, clear
images – these are what you expect in a Christie 3-chip DLP

®

projector. We’ve taken these features, added even more,
and wrapped them up in the most compact chassis in its
class. Welcome to the Christie J Series. This series of Christie
projectors couples the benefits of Xenon illumination – for
the most natural color accuracy and stability – with the next
level of technology, performance and flexibility.

Creating visually compelling displays is paramount to your
success. That’s our business too, so we’ve made higher

XENON ILLUMINATION

brightness

You’ve told us how much you love
Xenon technology and we think we
know why. The continuous light quality,
stable color temperature, excellent color
reproduction and relatively little color
shift give you eye-catching live displays,
easily combat other light sources in the
room and still wow your audiences time
and again. That’s reliability you can trust.

Available in brightness levels ranging
from 6500 ANSI (7150 center) lumens
through 20,000 ANSI (22,000 center)
lumens and three resolutions, SXGA+
(1400 x 1050), HD (1920 x 1080) and
WUXGA (1920 x 1200), each model
offers more brightness per pound than
the competition and ensures that your
content can be shown in its native
resolution, without scaling.

Advantages of Xenon lamps

Provides the highest level of on-screen
performance, both for brightness and
color accuracy

The spectrum of a Xenon lamp results
in relatively little color shift over time

A Xenon lamp emits a continuous
wavelength spectrum of light throughout
the visible range (roughly 400 nm to 700
nm), which approximates the neutral
white color of natural daylight

Reaches full brightness in far less time
than other lamp technologies

Great for illuminating very large
screens or high ambient environments

Xenon lamps have the best color
rendering index (CRI) of any lamp
technology out there

Yellow notch filter

Available as an optional feature for all
Christie J Series models, the yellow notch
filter is an optical color management device
that emulates film-like color. It creates
greater separation between the primary
colors, RGB, resulting in a larger available
color gamut for better reproduction of skin
tones and richer color depth and saturation.
This is especially apparent in green and red
tones, resulting in a more life-like display on
the screen. This color filter must be factory
installed at time of purchase.

3-chip DLP® technology

Crisp, clean images time and again

There are many factors that determine the quality of an image – 3-chip DLP technology, high-quality optics
and world-class 10-bit image processing ensure you display the best image. You need all of these elements
working together if you’re going to present clear, detailed, true to life images and information. The Christie
J Series encompasses all of this and more. We’ve also added a dust-sealed engine and optics to help protect
your investment and keep maintenance costs low. Liquid cooling and a thermal feedback system keep your
projector at a temperature that ensures optimal performance.

EXCEPTIONAL IMAGE QUALITY

Image quality

Based on 3-chip DLP® technology, high-quality
optics and world-class 10-bit image processing,
the Christie J Series delivers:

High brightness
Excellent color
Excellent uniformity
High reliability (>100,000 hours MTBF for DMD’s)
High contrast
Excellent fill ratio

Dust-sealed engine

Christie J Series projectors can operate filter free because
of dust-sealed engines and optics. Since dust and dirt cannot
affect the system, and filters are not required, image quality
is maintained and maintenance costs are lower. Optional
fog juice filters are available for projectors exposed to harsh
environments.

Liquid cooling

Roadster models are equipped with a thermal feedback
system and a liquid cooling module for the DMD’s to
continually maintain the projector’s temperatures in the
correct operating range. This improves the overall DMD
performance and reliability when used in harsh environments.
It also enables the projector to operate in temperatures up to
104°F (40°C) allowing for use in less than ideal conditions.
