Christie Vista S5 Product Sheet

Preliminary Datasheet

When image is everything…

The Vista S5 represents an evolution in projection technology. Utilising possibly the most advanced optical systems available
today in conjunction with Christie DigitalÕs superior digital processing technology, the Vista S5 promotes outstanding image
performance.

At the heart of the S5 lies the very latest Digital Light ProcessingÔ technology, a 3-chip DMD set with true SXGA resolution
combines with a highly efficient 1200W Xenon CERMAX¨illumination system to deliver the sharpest, brightest and most faithfully
reproduced images. The S5 also gives you the capability to input pixel formats with independent horizontal and vertical scaling
control, this and the S5Õs unique electronic keystone feature overcome even the most demanding projection conditions to place
the perfect picture on your screen.

The S5 shares a common modular architecture with all other models in the Vista range. If your projection needs change or new
enabling technology becomes available, you no longer need to replace the entire projection system to keep abreast of the
latest developments. In this way we help you to protect your investment with us and upgrade your Vista projector at only an
incremental cost.

This compact unit weighs in at just 88lbs and the projectorÕs simple and functional design is both practical and unobtrusive,
ensuring your audienceÕs attention remains fixed firmly on your presentations. This powerful projection system is supported by a
comprehensive selection of lenses, modules and accessories making it ideal for a wide range of fixed installation applications.
