Christie unveiled five new 3LCD digital projectors today spec’d with brightness ranges of 6,000 to 8,000 lumens with a single lamp (and an optional 0.38:1 Ultra Short Throw lens). The D Series are all 10,000:1 contrast ratio and come in resolutions of XGA (1024×768), WXGA (1366×768) and WUXGA (1920×1200).

Christie D Series are what the company calls “whisper-quiet,” aimed at higher education, corporations, museums, houses of worship, government facilities and selected rental and staging environments. Christie’s totally new aesthetic is used on all five new D Series models.

The new Christie Connect option with Wireless USB option provides monitoring and collaboration capabilities in multi-user environments. Users also benefit from professional tools including HDRC-Liteloc for “stunning images” even as the lamp ages, and the new Advance Color Management system provides separate controls for hue, saturation and luminance to create lifelike images.

Christie D Series features include:

• Optional* Ultra Short Throw (UST) lens with a 0.38:1 throw ratio
• Portrait or landscape mode provides installation flexibility
• XGA, WXGA and WUXGA resolutions
• Single-Connect cable option: Christie OneConnect — via HDBaseT
• 3G-SDI (WUXGA only)
• Multiple lens options
• Third party control system integration via AMX and Crestron

Christie D Series ships in May 2015 and here are all the specs.
