Christie Digital Systems Matrix 1500 - Manual

Christie’s Matrix Series –
Synonymous with Simulation
Christie’s new Matrix Series simulation solutions are purpose-built
projectors designed to meet the specific requirements of the simulation
market. As technologies change and the demands of the simulation and
training markets increase, the need for lower cost simulation systems
with higher resolution and higher brightness is prevalent.
The Matrix 1500 is a purpose-built entry level single-chip DLP™ projector.
With a powerful 1500 ANSI lumens, the Matrix 1500 allows users to
work in daytime simulation environments, in full ambient light. Images
on-screen are depicted with the precise clarity of true SXGA resolution
(1280x1024) with Dark Metal DMD™ panels for a true digital end-to-end
solution. The SuperCR™ 1000:1 full field contrast ratio ensures the
accurate reproduction of night-mode scenery. The sealed optical engine
(SOE™) ensures dust-free operation. It is based on a double data rate
(DDR) interface between the controller and DMD, which reduces color
sequential artifacts, “spatial contouring” artifacts and dither noise in
dark images.
Compatible with all most-used source resolutions, the Matrix 1500 can
connect to virtually every computer or video source. With Minimum
Processing Latency (MPL™), less than one frame delay enables extremely
fast simulator response time to user’s commands providing sharp, vibrant
images without loss of detail, flicker or motion artifacts.
The Matrix 1500 is quick to set up with an intuitive GUI and virtual plug
and play operation with a universal power supply that auto adjusts.
Christie’s Digital Color Management (DCM™) system offers a specially
designed color wheel with very tight +/- 5 nm tolerance for primary
colors and together with the Custom Gamma Adjustment (CGA™)
ensure the true color representation, color matching and uniformity
across multi-screen images in simulation applications.
Compact and quiet at only 28dB, the Matrix 1500 can work in any
simulation environment – and 2000 hours typical lamp life provides
reliability and a lower cost of operation. Ruggedized to withstand 3G
vibrations in all three axes, Christie’s Matrix 1500 is the reality for simulation.
