Three Upgraded Christie Twist Options Provide Enhanced Image Quality for Multiple Projector Setups
Christie is launching three upgraded versions of its Christie Twist technology this week. The Christie Twist solution allows for full image warping and advanced edge blending in Christie 3-chip DLP projectors using software that controls and edge-blends multiple curved images seamlessly on any surface.
Easier to use and with better, more precise pixel-to-pixel alignment than previous versions, the upgraded Christie Twist product family includes three tiers of specialized Twist software each for different application requirements. ‘Christie Twist’ software is a free download from the Christie website. ‘Christie Twist Premium’ and ‘Christie Twist Pro’ are paid upgrades and provide additional functionality for more complex projects.
Christie Twist and Christie Twist Premium are ideal for live theater and events, projection mapping, trade shows, large classrooms, corporate boardrooms, museums, house of worship, casinos and entertainment facilities and more. For more intricate projects – including flight simulators, virtual caves and domes Christie Twist Pro delivers unlimited arbitrary placement points for even greater accuracy. When purchasing Pro or Premium, customers can buy a dongle to attach to a PC running Twist software or license individual projectors and eliminate the need for a dongle.
Christie Twist technology also provides networked projector control by allowing the user to launch a virtual remote from within the twist software with all the functionality of standard Infrared remotes.
