Projector overview

Introduction

Learn about the

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.

How the projector works

The

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.
