Christie Mirage SST RGB Pure Laser Projector
Christie has launched the Mirage SST RGB pure laser projector with a 50,000-lumen light source , which has the same small and flexible form factor of the original 35,000-lumen Mirage SST .
The updated Mirage SST features a fibre-coupled , ultra-compact projection head weighing just under 51 kg and a remote light source that can be located up to 50 m away from the head . It is engineered specifically for complex applications that require a high-brightness projector with top-end image fidelity , but that are tight on space , such as venues without projection booths or outdoor weatherproof enclosures , or where quiet operation is critical and otherwise challenging to achieve . A wide range of lens options are offered for added installation flexibility , with a total of 10 high-brightness 4K lenses with ratios from an ultra-short throw 0:38:1 to a long throw 7:69:1 , and eight high-contrast lenses that offer enhanced contrast performance from 2000:1 to 5000:1 . The Mirage SST also features TruLife electronics , a proprietary electronics platform that enables frame rates of 120 fps at 4K resolution and up to 480 fps at 2K resolution with an optional license to showcase highly detailed content without motion blur .
