Christie TotalVIEW™ Simulation Solutions
Christie display technology has been used in more simulation and immersive environments than any other display company in the world.  Whether it’s a fully integrated TotalVIEW™ solution, or the inclusion of Christie’s industry-leading Matrix or Mirage Series projectors, more of today’s leading organizations trust Christie to provide them with the right solution for their needs.

What is a TotalVIEW™ SIM solution?
Christie TotalVIEW™ solutions are comprised of leading-edge display technology and world-class  system integration expertise. The complex nature of today’s simulation applications offers a variety of display and image challenges. Christie’s TotalVIEW™ display solutions can produce images at any size or shape... front or rear projected ... spherical, cylindrical, conic or flat screen... from small-team scale screens to large scale dome configurations.

Built on a proven approach that takes you from upfront project consultation and needs analysis, to  post-installation service and support, Christie’s team of integration and installation experts will work with you every step of the way.

Christie AccuFrame™
A breakthrough firmware feature for the Christie Matrix S+2K, S+5K, Matrix 4000 and Matrix HD Series DLP® simulation projectors:

• Developed specifically to address the simulation market. Christie AccuFrame™ enables the removal of any perceived “double imaging” of content due to image frame perception
  in the eye.
• Our Christie Matrix line offers an industry first with accurate frame display for NON-CRT projectors that has been able to nullify the artifact to the eye of smearing or
  double image perception for use in fast simulation environments.
• Fully adjustable to support various frame rates and environments

Christie AutoCal™
You don’t need to be an expert to maintain a blended projection display and keep it running at top visual performance. As part of Christie’s TrueIMAGE™ Integration Solutions, Christie AutoCal™ is automatic calibration that calibrates almost any arrayed projection display, from flat to cylindrical to spherical, and adjusts it to its optimized viewing configuration.

A simple checkbox interface makes interaction user-friendly allowing users to re-calibrate both geometry and blending with unequalled accuracy.  Other features such as image color and brightness can also be adjusted using Christie’s automatic display calibration system

The calibration solution from Christie offers reduced location resource requirements and increased customer independence in terms of maintaining your multi-projector displays. To get results you require, auto calibration allows you to spend your time using your display, not maintaining it.

Have you determined a need for a large-scale arrayed projection environment or display, but don’t think you have the resources or the expertise to support it? How much more productive can you be with your display stabilized, and your system maintenance and downtime reduced? With Christie AutoCal™, you have expert image display adjustment capabilities at your fingertips.

Christie MotoBlend™
Day or night, dark or light applications, why compromise your display system?  Developed using our extensive experience with dynamic content, Christie MotoBlend™, motorized optical blending, helps maximize the best of both worlds when it comes to life-like images and DLP®-based displays and environments – system contrast and optimized dark scene applications.

Digital projection technology is a de facto standard in terms of visual displays for 3D/Advanced Visualization environments and is fast becoming a standard in simulation.  As part of Christie’s TrueIMAGE™ Integration Solutions, Christie MotoBlend™ ensures your dark scene content (such as night time training applications) is evenly maintained across the entire display, without any residual light distractions or artifacts that can be found in other digitally projected displays.

Designed for use in static or motion platform applications, Christie’s optical blend solution is engaged or disengaged depending on the intensity of the image.  Christi3e’s motorized optical blending preserves your system’s maximum contrast ratios at all times as well as maintaining optimum blends for all types of content.  If you’re looking for an integrated system that improves your user experience and is flexible enough to offer zero compromise between your light and dark scene applications…Christie’s got it.

• Christie MotoBlend™ is designed to optimize day scene and night scene blending
• Controlled directly through the GPIO port of the projector
• Designed for use in both static and motion platform applications
• Works on one to four edges of each projector

Christie Twist™ 
Christie Twist™ is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to manage complex arrayed projectors that allows users to expertly create seamless images on flat, curved or cylindrical surfaces.

Christie Twist ™ is a dedicated, purpose-built hardware and software solution that enables full image warping and advanced edge-blending through the control of a powerful and easy-to-use Graphic User Interface. 

By manipulating geometry and blending, this powerful tool allows pixels to be mapped to virtually any projection surface with proper geometry and perfect pixel-to-pixel alignment.

Before	After

Designed with end-user applications in mind, Christie Twist™ provides the ability to expertly edge-blend multiple curved images seamlessly, on all four sides, for up to 6 projectors. Users can precisely control multiple edge-blended images seamlessly and warp displays to virtually any projection surface – flat, curved or spherical screens.

The internal hardware module is integrated into the 10-bit image processing module.  Once the warping and blending grids are set for multiple projectors, the properties are stored on the projectors and on the  external PC.  Multiple blend and warp properties can be stored on the projectors – providing easy access and  immediate recall of settings.

An optional upgrade, Christie Twist™ Pro software offers the following additional capabilities:

• Single license of Christie Twist™ Pro supports an unlimited number of projectors per array
• Allows an unlimited and arbitrary number of grid lines (up to and beyond a 10'x 10' warping grid)
• Advanced edge blending
• Rotate and Flip capabilities
• Gradient preview of edge blends
• Brightness uniformity controller
