NEW CHRISTIE SINGLE-CHIP DLP® PROJECTOR DELIVERS TOP-QUALITY IMAGE PERFORMANCE

Las Vegas/INFOCOMM 2008 – (June 18, 2008) – Christie, a leader in award-winning, high-quality projectors, introduces the latest addition to the popular Christie DS+ Series of dual lamp, single-chip DLP® projectors. Compact and quiet, the projector delivers top-quality image reproduction for medium to large meeting rooms and classrooms, government facilities and executive briefing rooms where smooth, reliable operation is critical.

Optimized for brighter whites and vivid color, the Christie DS+655 is perfect for business presentations in high ambient light environments. It delivers a powerful 6,500 ANSI lumens and combines SXGA+ resolution with a contrast ratio of up to 7500:1.

BrilliantColor™, DNX™, and the latest-generation 10-bit image processing technology produce dramatic color rendering and video reproduction, broader color bandwidth, and significantly reduced image noise.

"The Christie DS+655 draws upon cutting-edge technologies and features the latest powerful electronics and video processing that define image excellence in the market," observes George Tsintzouras, senior product manager, Business Products, Christie. "Best of all, it meets our customers' specific needs for brightness and depth of color, while ensuring excellent installation flexibility, long lamp life and the best price/performance on the market."

AV installers have the choice of six motorized, high-performance lens options with a throw ratio range from 0.8:1 through 7:1. Combined with horizontal and vertical lens shift, the projector can be positioned almost anywhere in the room. The long lamp life (2000 hours) and filter-free, sealed optical engine provide low cost of ownership with minimal maintenance.

For applications that seek fully saturated colors, Christie offers a special, built-to-order configuration of this model, the Christie DS+405. Stop by Christie's InfoComm booth # N5427, June 18 – 20, 2008 to meet George Tsintzouras and see a demonstration of the Christie DS+655.
