Latin America. Christie launched the Inspire Series, a family of 1DLP laser projectors with a fixed zoom lens and three brightness options. The projectors are designed for medium and small environments, such as classrooms, boardrooms, museums or places of worship.
The new Inspire Series offers professional-grade performance in a surprisingly economical package. A range of brightness possibilities that starts at 6000 ANSI lumens and, going through the 7200, culminates in 8100 lumens (7150, 8500 and 9600 ISO lumens respectively), achieving high-powered images in WUXGA resolution in any application. But in addition, thanks to its laser lighting, the Inspire Series guarantees up to 20,000 hours of low-maintenance operation before registering 50% of the brightness.
The Inspire Series integrates easily into spaces for which simple projection solutions (such as meeting or press rooms) with AMX and Crestron connectivity are sought. The public will appreciate the stealthy operation of the Inspire Series models and the possibility of orienting them omnidirectionally, which adds flexibility to the installation.
"The Inspire Series offers an unbeatable combination of value and performance at a low cost, but that doesn't in any way diminish the advanced capabilities of the product," said Chris Kee, Executive Director of Enterprise Product Development, Christie. "Motorized lenses make it easy to zoom, focus and offset by remote control, and our DWU960ST-iS 8100-lumen ANSI model is one of the brightest short throw projectors on the market today." The Inspire DWU760A-iS 6000 LUMEN ANSI meets the TAA standard for government applications, such as press rooms or meeting rooms.
The new series surpasses standard projector blending thanks to Christie Twist, a built-in proprietary software for warping and blending on arrays of up to six projectors and 81 grid control points and is compatible with Christie Mystique Lite, a camera-based alignment software that supports up to three Christie projectors. The Mystique Lite can be downloaded at no additional cost.
Christie has customers around the world who rely on its range of 1DLP projectors to deliver the most fascinating visual experiences. This is the case of the students of the Akerson Theater of the Naval Academy Athletic Association, the travelers who visit the new digital experience pavilion of the Daxing International Airport, or the customers of the Mexican chain of entertainment centers Alboa.
Christie's Inspire Series will be on the market in early August 2021.
