The 25,000 lumen Christie Crimson WU25 3DLP® laser projector is making its debut in the region. Providing years of reliable and virtually maintenance-free operation, the Crimson WU25 is specially designed to meet the unique demands found in large venues, live events and high-use environments. Featuring patented BoldColor™ Technology for amazing, true-to-life visuals, as well as Christie TruLife™ electronics for ultra-fast processing up to 60Hz, it will be shown with Christie's ultra-short throw lens UST 0.37.

Also showing is the Christie D13HD-HS, a 1DLP® laser projector producing 13,000 lumens with HD resolution. With built-in camera-based warping and blending, this projector is easy to set up, whether on its own or as part a multi-projector array. Its compact and lightweight form factor, omnidirectional capabilities and optional rigging frame make the D13HD-HS perfect for challenging installation spaces.

Making its first public appearance in the Middle East will be the Christie Spyder X80, the most powerful multi-screen windowing content processor and management solution available, and winner of the Best Rental/Staging Product for Live Events at InfoComm 2017.

The Apex Series comes in a range of pixel pitches and features a 16:9 aspect ratio and very high fill-factor. It also easily scales to common resolutions while maintaining image quality.

Another highlight of the Christie booth will be the eye-catching LCD panels that offer a versatile platform for a variety of applications.
