Christie Digital Debuts the Ultimate 3D Projector

Christie’s new Mirage WU7K-M is something you gotta see. Featuring a full WUXGA resolution (1920×1200) display and dual lamps (making uniformity nearly perfect), the Christie Mirage WU7K-M is a 6,300-ANSI-lumen powerhouse.

With dual-link DVI support at 330MHz full bandwidth and up to 10,000:1 contrast, the projector is designed for stereoscopic 3D applications and includes three modes of 3D input: standard frame rate of up to 120Hz, as well as frame-doubled content for maximum source compatibility and flicker-free operation. With the addition of a second input module, the Dual Input 3D mode enables the display of a frame-locked, passive stereo source for high-performance, active stereo at 120Hz without the need for an external passive to active converter.

It’s spec’d with a lamp life of up to 3,000 hours (per lamp), a fairly low power consumption of only 20 watts in standby, and filter-free, auto-sensing fans and temperature sensors, making it probably the industry’s most efficient “green” 3D projector so far.

Here are all the specs.

I’m gratified to see the projector manufacturers backing up my point on the death of the projector being over-predicted :-). Thanks, Christie – this looks awesome.
