Christie Projector Boxer 2K20 User Manual

							Howtheprojectorworks
The  Boxer 2K accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens,
typical in commercial or other large screen applications.
High-brightness light is generated by mercury vapor lamps, then modulated by three Digital
Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitiz ed red, green and blue
color information. As these digital streams flow from the source, light from the responding “on” pix els
of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through one or more projection
lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color images.
