							Christie trueIMageTM  
integration solutions
In today’s world, diverse and highly technical 
visual solutions are applied to solve some of the 
key issues and challenges facing global scientific 
and manufacturing communities. Because  
each and every application is different, and  
a “one type fits all” display is not the answer, 
we developed Christie TrueIMAGE
TM integration 
solutions – customizable, reliable and efficient 
tools designed to meet the most demanding 
requirements of blended projection arrays. 
Factors such as geometry, image blending 
and warping, resolution, color and brightness 
uniformity, and latency are key criteria that 
must be addressed when designing advanced 
visualization displays. 
Christie TrueIMAGE
TM integration solutions offer: 
 
•    Reduced location resource requirements 
   
•    Increased customer independence  
in terms of display maintenance 
•  More realistic displays  
•   Enhanced visual performance  
of the complete system
•  Optimized displays
autoCalTM – automatic  
display system calibration
You don’t need to be an expert to maintain a 
blended projection display and keep it running 
at top visual performance. As part of Christie 
TrueIMAGE
TM integration solutions, Christie 
AutoCalTM calibrates virtually any arrayed 
projection display, from flat to cylindrical   
to spherical, and adjusts it to its optimized 
viewing configuration. 
A simple checkbox interface makes interaction 
user-friendly allowing users to re-calibrate both 
geometry and blending with unequalled accuracy. 
Other features such as image color and brightness 
correction can also be adjusted. 
Christie AutoCal
TM offers reduced location 
resource requirements and increased customer 
independence in terms of maintaining multi-
projector displays. Christie AutoCal
TM delivers the 
results you require and allows you to spend your 
time using your display, not maintaining it. 
Have you determined a need for a large-scale 
arrayed projection environment or display, but 
don’t think you have the resources or the expertise 
to support it? How much more productive can 
you be with your display stabilized, and your 
system maintenance and downtime reduced? With 
Christie AutoCal
TM you have expert image display 
adjustment capabilities at your fingertips.
Christie advanced ColorTM 
Part of the Christie TrueIMAGETM integration 
solution suite of tools, Christie Advanced ColorTM   
is a user-assisted tool that enables advanced 
color matching from simple to complex arrays, 
regardless of the level of experience. 
Using a precision light meter, computer and 
software with a simple user interface, the 
operator is automatically guided to point the 
meter at the screen and data is fed into the 
computer. Looking at each individual projector, 
the calibration camera captures information 
about projector performance and feeds it into 
the color calibration processing. 
The computer performs the calculations  
and places the color mapping information  
on the projectors – that information stays  
on the projector until you choose to re-tweak 
the system.

optical blending
Day or night, dark or light applications, why 
compromise your display system? Developed 
using our extensive experience with dynamic 
content, Christie MotoBlend
TM helps maximize 
the best of both worlds when it comes to 
life-like images and DLP
® based displays and 
environments – system contrast and optimized 
dark scene applications. 
With digital projection technology fast 
becoming a standard in Advanced 
Visualization, Christie’s motorized optical  blending ensures your dark scene content (such

							Christie’s advanced image processing – the Vista Spyder – is the only system that allows you to simultaneously vi\
ew both 2D and 3D applications. It allows for complete 
functionality and compatibility with any source with any configuration of projection displays.University of Seigen 3D lab         
At the University of Siegen, Germany, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science decided  
to set up an impressive 3D installation in their Virtual Reality lab. They created a presentation room with an 
area of about 50 square metres that has room for up to 30 people. This is an absolute novelty, because it  
is technically quite advanced. A half-cylinder and floor projection in a room about 5 metres in diameter and  
2.6 metres in height allows the users to work interactively in a computer simula\
ted, virtual environment.
Mounted in four stereoscopic pairs, a total of eight Christie DS+300W projectors are used for the projection 
onto the cylinder. The floor area is fed by another four Christie DS+300W. These 1-chip DLP
® projectors  
are the predecessors of the new Christie DS+305W models, and like these, they are especially well suited  
for the 3D environment due to their 10-bit image processing, small footprint and light weight.

							University of Western Ontario, Faculty of Health Sciences Virtual Reality Theatre, 
London, Ontario, Canada
Tim Wilson, Professor of Anatomy, Faculty of Health Sciences, University  
of Western Ontario, describes his new 3D Virtual Reality Theatre as  
“the imagination tool of the millennium”. Western’s new “anatorium”  
is the first of its kind in North America. The Western Faculty of Health Sciences  
is at the forefront of innovation into research and education in the Health 
Sciences and is committed to providing the best student experience among 
Canada’s research-intensive universities.Christie installed and integrated two SXGA+ Mirage Series projectors displaying 
passive stereo for UWO’s ground-breaking 3D teaching theater
 
Previously, there were no labs offered in anatomy. Now between 800-1200 
students participate in the classes. The 3D lab features informal tables and chairs 
as well as stadium seats and benches – most of which are covered with plastic 
models of various anatomical parts. Full size skeletal models balance ei\
ther side  
of the screen – but it’s the visual phenomenon on the screen that can be turned  
to any viewing angle that truly “deepens” the experience.
