Mirage SST is a professional quality projector using Digital Light Processing (DLPTM) technology from
Texas Instruments. Mirage SST is engineered specifically for complex, high-end applications like
planetariums, dome theaters, and theme park attractions to offer stunning wide screen, high
resolution 4K images at 120 frames per second.
Mirage SST provides several design and installation advantages. Its small form factor allows it to be
installed independently, or as part of a multi-projector array, into tight, challenging environments. The
remote light source also allows the chilling equipment to be located away from the projector head
where its noise will not impact the audience’s enjoyment of the show.

Mirage SST accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens,
typical in commercial or other large screen applications.
High-brightness light is generated by a laser illumination source, then fed to the projector through a
fiber optic cable, where it is modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding
to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information. Based on digital signals
from the source, light from the responding on pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then
projected to the screen through a projection lens, where all pixel reflections are superimposed into a
sharp full-color image.
The Mirage SST projector head provides all configuration and control for the laser illumination source.
Never connect a laptop to the laser illumination source unless directed by Technical Support.

Adjusting primary colors
Calibrate the accuracy of primary colors, which can change because of lighting and environmental
factors.
All primary colors in the projector are precisely set to pre-established values to ensure overall color
performance is optimized and is as accurate as possible. Lighting and other environmental factors may
slightly change how these colors appear on your screen. While the change is negligible in most cases,
you may prefer to recover the originally intended color performance before trying to match colors from
several projectors.
To achieve consistency use a color meter to measure the native primary colors—red, green, blue, and
white—as they appear on the screen. On the basis of these new values, which are stored in memory,
each projector automatically calculates any necessary corrections to reproduce the original factory
colors under the current environmental conditions. This essentially calibrates a projector to its
surroundings, compensating for factors such as screen type, light source and/or ambient lighting, and
improves color accuracy and consistency in a group of projectors. It ensures a good starting point for
further customizing and matching; however, is not critical for all installations.
