Mirage

6000

Bright images, memorable impact!

With an amazing 6000 lumens and 1280 x 1024 resolution, Christie’s

Mirage 6000 is the brightest SXGA 3D projector in the world.

Based on high resolution SXGA 3-chip DLP™ technology, the Mirage

6000 delivers new levels of brightness and image clarity not previously

available. Powered by a 1200W Cermax

®

Xenon lamp and now featuring

new Dark Metal DMDs, the Mirage 6000 offers 1280 x 1024 resolution

with improved black level and contrast ratio – a stunning 800:1!

At the heart of the Mirage 6000 are Christie-designed electronics that

provide high bandwidth, frame rates, pixel and clock speeds resulting

in the most advanced digital signal processing for all types of stereo

images. This design employs dark interval adjustments (DIA™) control

that enhances the overall stereo effect by fine-tuning the critical time

between left and right fields.

The Mirage 6000’s new Dark Metal DMD™ technology is inherently

faster than LCD, with the ability to synchronize the left and right fields

required for stereo imaging, without time lag, ghosting or other artifacts –

and the Mirage 6000 offers you greater lumen output at a competitive

price. Combined with Christie’s own optical alignment technique, known as

Spatial Light Imaging Construction (SLIC™) the Mirage 6000 sets a new

quality standard that guarantees optimum focus and convergence accuracy.

The built-in Stereo 3D

®

interface module enables users to view

stereoscopic 3D images with both active shutter glasses or, with passive

polarized eyewear, making the Mirage 6000 an excellent single-projector

solution for uncompromised visual experiences.
