M Series
Redefine your expectations. 
						

							We didn’t just raise the bar.  
We redefined the entire game.
IntrODUCInG tHE CHrIStIE M SErIES.
We’ve designed the M Series, a flexible, efficient line of 3-chip \
DLP® projectors, with your needs  
in mind. We’ve thought of it all, put it into a sleek, compact chassis and provided you with  
a full set of options. 
The most compact in its class, this dual mercury lamp platform provides the high-performance  
and feature-rich standards you’ve come to expect from all Christie products. You’ll see that  
we continue to deliver brightness, versatility, reliability and affordability in this latest addition  
to the Christie family of display solutions.
Ranging from 2500 ANSI lumens (single lamp, 200W) to 9500 ANSI lumens (dual lam\
p, 350W),  
each of the M Series projectors offer high efficiency and low cost of ownership by operating   at 1320W – giving you full brightness while using less power. These projectors employ feedback 
systems to determine the number of lamps and power level used to adjust \
the fan speed required  
to cool the system. 
The Christie M Series platform includes two resolutions, SX+ (1400 x 1050) and HD (1920 x 1080), 
and a variable contrast ratio of 2500-10,000:1* (full on / full off) / 650:1 ANSI for crisp, detailed images. 
Each of the projectors in the series can also be fitted with the broadest range of high-quality 
lenses – all with true Intelligent Lens System (ILS)
TM capabilities.
All this, combined with our world-renowned service, enables the M Series to provide high 
performance and peace of mind for all users.
* Using dynamic iris.

  Dust sealed engine
M Series projectors can 
operate filter-free because 
of dust-sealed engines and 
optics. Since dust and dirt 
cannot affect the system 
and filters are not required, 
image quality is maintained and maintenance costs are lower. 
Removable side panels enable the addition of optional coarse 
dust and fog juice filters for projectors that are exposed to 
harsh environments.
[  6  ]
  Motorized yellow notch filter2
The motorized yellow notch 
filter optically expands the 
color gamut for richer greens 
and yellows. Since you lose 
some brightness by improving 
the greens and yellows, this is 
a channel-configurable option 
which enables you to decide 
when it is needed. This filter 
is standard on all M Series 
HD models and is ideal when 
video is being displayed.
[ 7  ]
  Dynamic Iris
Ideal for video applications, the dynamic iris is a channel-
configurable option. It automatically adjusts an internal iris  
to extend the range of blacks and provide richer details  
during dark scenes for true image reproduction. A variable contrast ratio of 2500 -10,000:1 produces a picture 
with a rich, dynamic appearance.

  Embedded Christie TwistTM
Standard in all M Series models, Christie TwistTM enables 
seamless white and black level edge-blending of multiple 
curved images, faster and more easily than through traditional, 
manual methods. Controlled by an easy-to-use GUI users can  
expertly control and edge blend or stack multiple curved images 
quickly and seamlessly. Images can be warped to fit virtually 
any dimension or shape display. Embedded Christie Twist
TM 
ensures that all M Series projectors can work with value-added 
accessories, such as AutoStack
TM.

  Multi-window/screen processing 
External processors are not required for simple, small tiled and 
blended arrays, therefore lowering your costs for installation.
Each M Series projector has the ability to send signals to 
multiple projectors (up to a 3 x 3 array)* without any additional 
hardware or software. The projectors in the tiled array can then 
show only the portion of the signal that they need to project. 
[ 8  ]
  Embedded edge blending and color matching  
Advanced blending capabilities and Comprehensive Color 
Adjustment (CCATM) ensure digitally accurate color matching 
and uniformity across multi-screen blended or tiled images.
[  9  ]
  LiteLOCTM, 1
The LiteLOCTM feature automatically manages your display’s 
brightness levels over time so that you can match the brightness 
of a multiple projector system in tiled or blended arrays.  
This feedback system continuously monitors lamp brightness, 
so that as the lamp goes through its natural brightness decay, 
the system increases the lamp power in order to maintain 
consistent brightness.

* Subject to input bandwidth limitations.  
						

							[ 8  ]
  ChristieNETTM web inter face  
ChristieNETTM enables users to access all projector menus 
and controls through a web interface without disrupting the 
live presentation. This allows for real-time adjustments and 
monitoring of each projector on the network – regardless  
of geographic location.
[  8  ]
  Automatic shut-of f  
This feature reduces the cost of ownership by reducing power 
consumption and extending lamp life when the projector is not 
in use. In this mode, if a signal is not detected, the projector 
will slowly dim the lamps then shut off one lamp, and finally  
if there is still no signal, the system will go into standby mode.  
If a signal is detected during the ramp-down phase the unit  
can revert back to its full power, dual lamp mode.

[ 8 ]  Input cards
In total, there are four input 
card slots available. Each 
projector is equipped with  
a standard set of input cards.
Dual SD/hD – SDI input card  The Dual SD/HD-SDI input 
card accepts both standard-
definition (SD) and high-
definition (HD) serial-digital-
interface (SDI) signals and 
enables the user to connect 
two of either types of signal. Both single-link HD and dual-link 
HD signals are accepted. This card also has two SD/HD-SDI 
outputs to enable “loop through” for its respective input.
Analog bNC input card The Analog BNC input card 
accepts an analog video 
signal input over a 5 BNC 
connector interface. It can 
accept RGBH&V signals  
over 5 connectors, as well  
as component YPbPr signals on the RGB inputs. 
Dual link DvI input card
The Dual Link DVI input card has a 15-pin VGA connector 
for analog signals and a DVI-I connector which can support 
a single- or dual-link DVI HDCP video signal. The card can 
simultaneously support a digital signal on the DVI input and  
an analog signal on the VGA port.
DMX512
This interface card supports the DMX512 communication 
standard through two 5-pin XLR connectors. v
ideo Decoder input card
The Video Decoder input 
card accepts various types of 
standard definition (SD) video,  
including CVBS (composite 
video), S-video, and component. 
It accepts NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.4, 
PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M or SECAM formats. This card has 2 mini-DIN 
connectors (for S-video signals) and 4 BNC connectors that can 
be grouped to allow combinations of CVBS, S-Video, YPrPb or 
RGB video sources.
Twin hDMI
TM input card The Twin HDMI input card 
accepts 2 HDMI inputs 
and provides 12-bit deep 
color handling on the input. 
Additionally, advanced  
loop-through allows any  
input on any input card (except HD/SD SDI) card to be looped 
through to the 2 HDMI outputs on the card.
LCD keypad
This easy-to-use  
LCD keypad includes:
•    Contextual menus provide  
a fully-featured, intuitive 
interface; removing the 
need for a cluttered keypad
•  Large, four line LCD display
 •    Adjustable brightness and timed LCD off mode
  •    Intuitive keypad design that lights up when features  
are active – making it user friendly and intuitive
  
•    Active keys are color-coded amber to indicate that selections 
will result in changes visible to the audience.
Dual-frequency receiver 
The dual-frequency (38 kHz and 455 kHz) receivers ensure the 
projector receives signals at increased distances between the 
remote and projector, and reduces the affect of interference 
from lighting.      
						

							Quiet operation 
When your presentation depends on the full attention  
of your audience you don’t want them focused on the noise 
from your projector. The filter-free design with auto-sensing  
fan and temperature sensors automatically adjust for the 
quietest operation possible.
Roadster models
The M Series Roadster models 
have been designed with 
stagers in mind. The Christie 
Roadster S+10K-M and the 
Christie Roadster HD10K-M 
ship equipped with more 
input 
cards than the other  
M Series models, as well   
as a stacking frame.

Accessories 
Whatever you need, Christie has a large selection  
of optional accessories. Create the projector you need  
by choosing from eight lenses, various input cards and  
much more.
Filter s (optional)
If the environment you’re working in requires more than the 
protection of our dust sealed engine, choose from one of two 
filters (coarse dust and fog juice). Help extend the life of your 
projector and protect your investment from dirt, dust, sand  
as well as fog, smoke, hazers and pyrotechnics. Each M Series 
projector is equipped with two removable side panels that are 
designed to hold a filter, if required.
