							The opening and closing ceremonies at the 2008 Beijing Summer 
Games proved to be unprecedented in terms of projection size,  
the number of projectors employed, the viewing audience  
and technical challenges. Dozens of performance assessments,  
over a half year of simulated tests, and 10 hours of intensive 
operation everyday for an entire month eventually resulted in  
the largest, longest and most beautiful visual display – viewed  
live by millions of people worldwide.In addition to the 63 Christie CP2000-ZX projectors, the opening and 
closing ceremonies were supported by 84 Christie Roadster S+20K 
projectors, which used the same triple-stacked design to create 
extraordinarily stunning images of 20,000 lumens in SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) 
resolution. Specifically, 54 projectors were installed on the parapets of 
the second tier audience viewing areas for the long-distance projection 
of images on moving screens (ie. on the globe and the Taiji sequence). 
The remaining 30 projectors were installed on the top of the Bird Nest 
to project onto the 118ft (36m) long, 66ft (20m) wide main painting scroll 
in the middle of the stage.

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING   
						

							Cutting-edge visual technology was tailored to seamlessly and flawlessly 
deliver perfect imagery to tell the history of China. Christie projectors 
won the favor of renowned film director, Zhang Yimou, with their high 
resolution, high contrast, and HD color performance. “Excellent color \
reproduction similar to those being watched in the theaters” was the 
comment of the art crew of the opening ceremony regarding  
the image quality.As noted by Zhang Yimou, “to create the most exhilarating moment – 
whether it existed long ago, or exists in another part of the world –\
  
we used state-of-the-art audio/video technologies to showcase the 
essence of our splendid Chinese culture.”
As the giant scroll folded, and the torch slowly went out, the spectacular 
moments of light and shadows were etched in our memories forever.

LCD TECHNOLOGY
From June 20 to August 24, 2008, the Image Mill – a sound and image 
spectacular created by Robert Lepage and Ex Machina with E/T/C Paris – 
provided a visual display of the history of Québec during the Québec\
 400th 
anniversary festivities. The Image Mill recounted the history of the city with  
what is believed to be the world’s longest video projection display. To accomplish the feat, E/T/C Paris installed 27 Christie Roadster S+20K \
projectors to create a continuous image across the silos and around  
one side of the structure.
The spectacular imagery and sounds of the Image Mill showcased the  
history and culture of Québec every evening for 10 weeks. It will be  
remembered by everyone as a stunning work of art made possible  
by state-of-the-art technology.

Montreal-based Solotech, one of North America’s largest suppliers of sound, lighting and video equipment, 
provided a full compliment of equipment for the show including 6 Christie \
Roadster S+20K 3-chip DLP® 
projectors for the live video projection. 
The expansive stage was comprised of a 54 x 20 foot curved screen creating a seamless back projection 
surface to project HD video content synchronized in real-time with live camera shots and special effects 
during the performance. Two towers of triple stacked Christie Roadster S+20K projectors produced a 
combined 120,000 ANSI lumens of brightness to display the high definit\
ion video imagery and live mixes  
of Alicia Keys and her musicians and dancers.
The technical design and video elements of the set were created by VYV Corporation, a staging-dressing 
company based in Montreal, QC.   For Katie Couric’s debut on CBS, the network 
wanted a new set that employed multiple display 
technologies with different configurations, 
resolutions and formats. Among the various 
screen formats used, Video Vision created a  
16 x 9 rear-projection screen located behind 
Couric, that was illuminated by a Christie 
Roadster S+12K projector.

Vista Spyder
The Vista Spyder is the most powerful, flexible 
and most reliable video windowing and 
processing system on the market. It is capable 
of the most complex multi-window, multi-input/
output displays, yet is very easy to use. With its  
modular design, it can scale to suit your business 
requirements, no matter how simple or complex. 
A single Spyder system can:
 
  •   Support multi-display environments  
at resolutions that exceed HDTV
  •    Process digital and analog sources  
with a variety of resolutions and aspect  
ratios, and display them at any size,  
anywhere – seamlessly
  •    Control multiple pixel spaces and  
multiple display devices from the same  
control environment 
 
  •    Adapt quickly and accurately to widescreen 
(edge-blended), single and multi-screen 
discreet applications
Choose your Spyder
Every Spyder frame model has a simple code  
to identify the capability. 
The first number defines the series, 200 or 300, the 
second number is the amount of universal inputs 
and the third number is the amount of outputs.
  Using a Spyder 353 as an example:
3 – 300 series
5 – five universal inputs
3 – three universal outputs
Spyder X20 – NEW
The Christie Spyder X20 is a versatile video 
processor combined with the flexibility of a 
universal routing switcher. It has a 20 megapixel 
bandwidth that supports blending, windowing, 
mixing and scaling in any source format and 
routes the signal to any destination device. The 
Spyder X20 offers integrated source monitoring 
and online editing.
It is easy to deploy and install because of its 
advanced architecture and reduces the amount 
of wires, boxes and rack space traditionally 
required because everything is all in one unit.
Choose from the following models:
•   
Christie Spyder X20-1608 (16 inputs/8 outputs)
•   Christie Spyder X20-0808* (8 inputs/8 outputs)
*Can be expanded to become a Spyder X20-1608
Vista URS
Think of the Christie Vista URS as the  
anything-in, anything-out matrix switcher  
that processes as it routes.
The URS handles any input-output combination 
of computer and video formats with ease, 
including analog/digital, interlaced/progressive, 
and high/low resolution. With built-in integrated 
source monitoring and sophisticated keying, the 
URS accepts sources that can be a mix of analog 
composite to digital 4K and seamlessly routes 
them to 8 outputs that natively support any 
destination display.
The URS performs all the processing to match 
the source to the output, including scaling, 
aspect ratio, color-space, and frame rate 
conversion repeats. Normally, these functions 
require additional equipment and complex, 
restrictive control systems, however with the 
URS the entire process is simplified, saving  
you time, money and resources.
Choose from the following models:
  •   Christie Vista URS-1608 (16 inputs/8 outputs)
 
•   Christie Vista URS-0808* (8 inputs/8 outputs)
You won’t find any matrix switcher on the market 
today that can do what the URS does.
* Can be expanded to become a URS-1608

February 2009: 51st Annual Grammy Awards, Staples Center, Los Angeles. Eight Christie Roadster HD18K  
projectors were chosen to feed graphic elements at the 2009 Grammy Awards – from typography and  
logos to song-themed images to a curved horizontal band of eight 9 x 16 \

main stage. Two Christie Roadster S+16K projectors and one backup unit displayed graphics and IMAG  
of the action onstage on a giant 21 x 11 ft vertical screen, which was placed center-stage and above a split 
staircase. And, to complete the Grammy’s set, an additional pair of Christie Roadster S+20K projectors 
brought the broadcast feed to the Staples Center audience on two 13.5 x 24 ft house sc\
reens placed  
out of camera range.
