Christie Digital Announces Worldís First Stereoscopic 3-D DLPô Projector

Fakespace Systems Hosts Preview Of New Digital Visualization Technology At Supercomputing 2000 Show

16-Nov-00

Christie Digital Systems, a recognized leader in high-performance projection technologies, has presented a technology demonstration of the worldís first stereoscopic 3-D digital projector, based on 3-chip DLPô technology, at the Supercomputing Show in Dallas, Texas. Sponsored by Fakespace Systems Inc., a world leader in visualization technology, the demonstration featured a single large-screen display in regular show-level lighting with interactive applications. ""The market has been demanding an active stereo 3-D digital projector with enhanced brightness and clearer images to create the most crisp, near-life visualization experience. Using our expertise in DLP projection technology, we are creating a solution that provides the best possible combination of image quality, resolution and brightness, as well as enhanced ease of use and reduced maintenance time,"" says Dr. Rocco Fondacaro, Vice President of Marketing, Christie Digital Systems.Traditionally, active stereoscopic projection has been the domain of analog CRT projectors. This technology, while proven and robust, offers brightness in the range of 250 lumens. Christie Digitalís active DLP solution will generate substantially greater levels of brightness. The demonstration unit will offer 10,000 lumens and XGA (1024 x 768 pixel) resolution at 110Hz refresh capability.""As one of the pioneers in visualization, weíre excited to be showcasing the latest in stereoscopic projection technology. Digital, high brightness projectors open up a range of possibilities for new product developments and applications. This will be a welcome alternative technology alongside traditional CRT based projection,"" says Jeffrey Brum, Marketing Manager, Fakespace Systems Inc.According to Fondacaro, ""Weíre very pleased to provide this preview of our solution for 3-D applications. As we continue to address the needs of customers for advanced 3-D environments, we plan to launch an entire suite of stereoscopic 3-D and virtual reality projectors. These projectors will be available in varying brightness levels and higher resolutions, including SXGA.""""Our ultimate goal is to display images that are so visually compelling that the participant becomes more intimately involved and enveloped in the 3-D experience,"" adds Fondacaro.For more information about Christie Digital Systems, Inc., visit www.christiedigital.com.For more information about Fakespace Systems, visit www.fakespacesystems.com.
