CYPRESS, CA – (November 20, 2007) – Christie, a global leader in visual solutions for business, entertainment and industry, introduces the Christie HD405 – the first native HD model in the company’s single-chip DLP® portfolio. The new projector combines flawless DLP image quality with full 1080p resolution, making it an irresistible solution for small to medium sized conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms, home theater and 24/7 applications where single chip DLP reliability is paramount.
Setting new levels of performance, the Christie HD405 presents dynamic, high definition images with 4100 ANSI lumens brightness and a 1000-7500:1 contrast ratio. Its full 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution, 10-bit image processing and BrilliantColor™ processing, make it a unique addition to the Christie product line.
“The Christie HD405 is the first 1080p single-chip DLP projector in the Christie line, and the first to market with on-board 10-bit image processing and the capability to deliver 4100 lumens,” notes Neil Wittering, director of product management, Business Products, Christie. “The combination of brightness, high resolution and advanced image processing single this out as something special; these features look certain to capture the imagination of the fixed installation sector which is focusing on wide-aspect projection.”
The Christie HD405 is configured with a standard RGBCYM color wheel to deliver the best possible color saturation for flawless reproduction of video and data sources. Its native 1080p resolution provides the highest image detail for single or multiple images. Powered by a dual-lamp, long-life sealed light engine, the projector guarantees consistent image performance with low cost of ownership.
To complete the package, the Christie HD405 is backed by Christie’s renowned service and support warranties, and supports value-added enhancements, such as ChristieNET™ and the Vista Spyder — all of which can be integrated to boost the overall display.
