Christie Digital Vista S3 SXGA 3000 Ansi Lumens DLP Video Projector
OVERVIEW
- Christie Digital Vista S3 SXGA HDTV Video Projector
The Vista S3 represents an evolution in projection technology. Utilising possibly the
most advanced optical systems available today in conjunction with Christie's superior
digital processing technology, the Vista S3 promotes outstanding image performance.
At the heart of the
Vista S3 lies
the very latest Digital Light Processing (DLP™) technology: a 3-chip DMD™ set with true
SXGA resolution combines with a highly efficient 700W Xenon CERMAX® illumination system
to deliver the sharpest, brightest and most faithfully reproduced images. The S3 also
gives you the capability to input pixel formats with independent horizontal and vertical
scaling control. This and the S3's unique electronic keystone feature overcome even the
most demanding projection conditions to place the perfect picture on your screen.
The S3 shares a common modular
architecture with all other models in the Vista range. If your projection needs change
or new enabling technology becomes available, you no longer need to replace the entire
projection system to keep abreast of the latest developments. In this way we help you
to protect your investment with us and upgrade your Vista projector at only an incremental
cost.
This compact unit weighs in
at just 88 lbs and the projector's simple and functional design is both practical and
unobtrusive, ensuring your audience's attention remains fixed firmly on your presentations.
This powerful projection system is supported by a comprehensive selection of lenses, modules
and accessories making it ideal for a wide range of fixed installation applications.
