Direct key access to the most-used major 
functions and auto set-up of sources with 
correct brightness, contrast and position 
means operation and set-up of the Christie 
Mirage Series are intuitive.
Christie’s LiteLOC™ feature provides constant 
brightness tracking and monitors lamp output. 
It also automatically adjusts the power to 
ensure constant, uniform brightness across 
the image - on a multiple-projector screen or 
multiple-screen display.
ChristieTWIST
™
– total image control
With Christie’s image warping and edge-
blending module, you can display virtually any 
image on virtually any surface. ChristieTWIST™ 
provides users with fingertip control to expertly 
edge-blend multiple images on all four sides 
seamlessly, or warp an image to any shape on 
any surface.
For high-quality, larger-than-life displays, the 
Primary Color Adjust (PCA™) and input/output 
gamma correction will match blended images 
perfectly with exact color matching between 
displays. Or, warp to any shape surface – curved 
or spherical screens and anything in-between. 
Controlled through a user defined warp grid 
and easy to use software – ChristieTWIST™ 
features user controllable latency of less than 
one frame. With blending and warping grids 
that are completely user-definable and offer 
an extremely fine level of control, displays can 
take on any shape or dimension required. And 
the multiple warps and blend properties can be 
stored on the projector. 
Brightness uniformity control
Adjusts center-to-edge brightness uniformity 
across the image – with the Christie Mirage 
Series you can achieve up to 100% uniformity.
Dark interval adjustment (DIA
™
)
DIA™ gives the user a mechanism to tune the 
projector’s interaction with the LCD shutter 
glasses to achieve the optimum image with a 
minimum of color artifacts or cross-talk between 
left and right eye images. The dark interval is 
the time between left and right frames when 
the projector is showing black.
Stereo sync harness
Simplifying projector set-up for the end-user, the 
stereo sync harness can provide projector control 
of the phase of the output through the menu. This 
purpose-built function for active stereo projection 
supports emitters and enables left/right inversion.
Minimum delay feature
The Christie Mirage Series provides a less than 
one frame delay in image processing between 
input and display. This requirement is critical for 
applications where user response is dependent 
on the visual display, without loss of detail, 
flicker or motion artifacts.

Christie’s Comprehensive Color Adjustment 
provides the ability to individually adjust 
actual RGB channels for even color matching 
within individual projectors. This produces 
true color representation across multi-screen 
applications for a completely blended image.
