Christie® recently announced the expansion of its Mirage Series of high-performing 2D and 3D projectors with the launch of the Christie Mirage WQ-L, an LED-based 1-chip DLP® projection system with WQXGA (2560 by 1600) resolution and 800 ANSI lumens for sharp images and exceptionally accurate and lifelike colours. Offering a stable and reliable LED light engine rated at 60,000-hours (approximately 6.5 years) life cycle, the Christie Mirage WQ-L includes Christie ArrayLOC™ for synchronised colour and brightness management, which reduces calibration requirements.

A powerful but cost-effective and flexible display solution, the Christie Mirage WQ-L is ideal for a wide range of markets, from aerospace and automotive to oil and gas, government, academia, and entertainment. Its solid-state LED light engine delivers years of worry-free operation without compromising image quality.

“We received positive reviews when we previewed the Christie Mirage WQ-L at SIGGRAPH 2013,’ said Larry Paul, senior director of technology and visualisation solutions management, Visual Environments, Christie. “The projector’s sealed LED-based light engine eliminates the need for filters, reduces heat and makes it virtually maintenance-free. Its flexibility and low-maintenance design makes it the perfect display solution for a wide range of customers that require a high-performance system that is also eco-friendly and backed by Christie’s reputation for quality and reliability.’

The Christie Mirage WQ-L operates off the exclusive Christie KoRE™ electronics and firmware platform, which provides the most extensive level of input capability and control flexibility available for advanced visualisations systems.

The Christie Mirage WQ-L is now shipping.
