Geared towards large-venue Pro AV applications, Christie has launched Christie Eclipse, a 4K RGB pure laser projector featuring Christie RealLaser illumination, true HDR and a wide color gamut.

With true HDR, Christie Eclipse can process and reproduce HDR content in 4K resolution, at both high and low brightness levels. This projector boasts a contrast ratio of up to 20,000,000:1 which ensures every detail on the screen is visible, even in extreme black and white ranges.

With a wide color gamut approaching the full Rec.2020 and Rec.2100 color space, Christie Eclipse produces highly saturated colors for truly immersive experiences. And, it exceeds the Rec. 2100 contrast ratio of 200,000:1 specification by 100x. With RealLaser illumination, 4K resolution and 120fps frame rate, Christie Eclipse can deliver blur-free content, which is critical for planetariums, giant screens, live entertainment and themed attractions.

The Christie Eclipse offers the flexibility to customize the brightness level to suit the environment, from 2000 lumens up to 30,000, features Christie TruLife electronics for 4K at 120Hz performance, and Christie Twist software for warping and blending capabilities.

An optional Christie Terra input card is available, which offers AV integration and connectivity solutions for Christie projectors with TruLife Electronics and can connect directly to a Christie Terra SDVoE system. Christie Eclipse also supports Christie Mystique an automated, camera-based warping and blending tool that simplifies the deployment and maintenance of multi-projector arrays.

While pure Laser RGB illumination is relatively new to the market, and unit shipments are still quite low, display market analyst firm PMA Research has forecast that unit shipments of these models will increase more than 80% in 2019 over 2018, making it one of the fastest growing projector product segments.
