CHRISTIE A Griffyn

s stadiums and large-scale sporting venues around the world strive to elevate the fan experience ever higher, venue operators are being challenged to captivate their audiences with increasingly engaging methods. One way to form an engaging centrepiece at sporting events is to transform the all-important playing surface into a dramatic focal point with the power of projection mapping. It’s possible to map onto ice surfaces, basketball courts, and stadium surfaces to bring any venue to life with eye-catching content. The video content can be as varied as spectacular introduction sequences, animated player profiles, and promotion or sponsor marketing and engagement – enhancing the atmosphere and opening up greater messaging possibilities.

Enter Christie Griffyn

The Christie® Griffyn Series of RGB pure laser projectors is specifically designed for use at sports venues and other challenging large-scale environments requiring high brightness and the color accuracy of an RGB laser light source. It can illuminate any surface in native 4K resolution with up to 50,000 ISO lumens, while running on singlephase power for exceptional energy efficiency.

Pick your power

Available in two brightness models – the 4K35-RGB and 4K50-RGB – the Griffyn Series is designed for high-impact performance to illuminate any large-scale screen or surface. Solid-state RGB pure laser projection offers several advantages over laser phosphor illumination, including 25% longer life, and uses individual red, green, and blue lasers to produce the most dynamic range of color available today.

The flagship Griffyn 4K50-RGB produces greater than 98% of the Rec. 2020 color space—more than twice the color of Rec. 709, the standard in other projection technology, and 50% more than DCI-P3 capable projectors providing a superior audience experience with more vibrant real-world colors. With the Mirage option, Griffyn 4K50-RGB can achieve frame rates up to 120Hz at 4K resolution for smooth, sharp, fast-motion video. Both models weigh less than 200 lbs. and are among the lightest and brightest in their respective classes.

Adding the Mystique

Griffyn is bolstered by two additional software packages – available at no extra cost – to help integrators deliver on their projects. With Mystique™ Lite camera-based alignment software and an inexpensive supported webcam, up to three Christie projectors can be blended in a single horizontal projector array on a flat surface or screen with the click of a button, saving time and money. Additional Mystique editions are available to enable more complex installations, facilitating unlimited numbers of projectors and custom screen shapes and surfaces.

Managing remotely with Conductor

Christie Conductor is an advanced monitoring and control solution for up to 256 Christie 3DLP projectors on the same network. Conductor allows users to perform a wide range of tasks remotely including auto power on/off, access to interrogator logs, diagnosing and resolving issues, and performing firmware updates and health checks, all from the comfort of a laptop.

Design evolutions

The Griffyn Series also features the new TruLife+ ‘all-in’ electronics platform that has every connection built-in, including a Christie Terra SDVoE connection, to eliminate the hassle of removable option cards.

Griffyn is Christie’s first projector series to offer new electronic color convergence (ECC), giving users the ability to select red, green, or blue individually and adjust each color by remote control, for easy image alignment that saves time and money, whether the installation is on the ground or in the air.

Its compatibility with most Christie 4K lenses allows Christie partners to reduce costs by reusing existing lens inventory. Single phase power further reduces ongoing energy costs and simplifies installation, and sealed optics ensures reliable performance, with a 3-year parts and labor warranty for peace of mind. Rounded out by its lifespan of 25,000 hours to 50% brightness, it delivers both a strong return on investment and high-end performance.
