Christie announces the addition of four new GS Series laser phosphor projectors, including two HD models with BoldColor Technology, designed to deliver true-to-life images in a compact package for discreet installations in venues such as corporate meeting rooms, trade shows, entertainment venues and rental staging.
The four new professional-grade models use a grid-based warping and blending processor and also have an option for camera-based warping, blending or stacking. They can also be rotated 360-degrees and used in portrait orientation. They are designed for complex setups in rental staging and medium-sized fixed applications. The product noise level is at only 35dBA and the new design is sleeker to blend into the environment. Lightweight and compact, the four new models use a laser phosphor light source with a 20,000-hour life for low maintenance and a low cost of ownership.
While all four models tout improved color performance, the 850-GS models incorporate Christie BoldColor Technology for premium color performance. The increase in color balance to improve color accuracy results in the extreme bold colors audiences prefer.
"With two new HD and two more WUXGA laser phosphor models, Christie has a wide-ranging 1DLP lineup including both lamp and laser phosphor options ranging from 3000 to 13,000 lumens without limiting options to one technology or another,"

“With two new HD and two more WUXGA laser phosphor models, Christie has a wide-ranging 1DLP lineup including both lamp and laser phosphor options ranging from 3000 to 13,000 lumens without limiting options to one technology or another,” said Curtis Lingard, product manager, Christie. “Our customers said they still need the choice between lamps and laser phosphor, and Christie offers that choice.”
Featuring bottom-side HDMI connectivity and rear cover, the new Christie GS models can be ceiling mounted to have a very clean look without all the unused connections, cables and keypad being exposed. All RJ45 connections are fully compatible with the lockable XLR-shell connection to avoid having to re-terminate cables onsite.
“Designed primarily for a digital workflow, the new models have a 3GSDI, DVI-D and two HDMI inputs but still allow for analog signal via an HD15 connection making the new GS models a perfect fit for live events and fixed installs,” adds Lingard.
Available in black or white and backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, the new Christie GS Series models ship in the summer of 2016.
