Christie lists the Griffyn Series and the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH as the affected products. It adds high frame rate 4K, active 3D and very high frame rate 2K to a projector already in the rack or on the rig, without changing the chassis. It is delivered as a license file, not a physical part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Christie 163-163101-01 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard Griffyn projector runs at 24 to 60 Hz. Christie's Mirage option raises that to 4K at 120 Hz and 4K 3D at 60 Hz per eye. Mirage Pro, which this kit enables, includes everything in Mirage plus 2K-resolution 2D content at 240 to 480 Hz (scaled), 2K-resolution 3D content at 120 Hz per eye, and Christie View, a simultaneous multi-content viewer. Christie View lets one projector show multiple inputs overlaid on each other, supporting four mono (2D) views at 60 Hz per user or two stereo (3D) views at 60 Hz per eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is done in software. Christie Technical Support issues a license file (.key) that is valid only for the projector serial numbers specified at the time of order. The license is applied with the Christie Projector License Utility in Christie Twist version 2.8 or later, with the projector and computer on the same Ethernet network, and the projector is rebooted afterward. For large-venue and simulation projects we collect serials up front, bring projectors to current software, and verify that image generators and signal paths can actually deliver the higher frame rates before the license is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Christie 163-163101-01?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect path to Mirage Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e — Upgrades a non-Mirage projector to Mirage Pro in one step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K at 120 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e — Includes the Mirage capability of 4K 2D at 120 Hz and 4K 3D at 60 Hz per eye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2K at 240 to 480 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adds scaled 2K 2D content at very high frame rates for fast-motion and simulation content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2K 3D at 120 Hz per eye\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports high frame rate stereoscopic content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChristie View\u003c\/strong\u003e — Displays multiple inputs from one projector simultaneously for multi-viewer applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial-locked license\u003c\/strong\u003e — The .key file is valid only for the serial numbers on the order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplied with Christie Twist\u003c\/strong\u003e — Uses the Projector License Utility in Twist v2.8 or later over Ethernet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Christie 163-163101-01 typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimulation and training rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch and visualization labs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and large immersive venues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio and virtual production stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space with simulation or multi-viewer needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:640px\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:280px\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:42%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:58%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003ePart number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e163-163101-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eUpgrade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eNon-Mirage to Mirage Pro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eAffected products\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eGriffyn Series, Sapphire 4K40-RGBH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eMirage capability\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e4K 2D at 120 Hz; 4K 3D at 60 Hz per eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eMirage Pro additions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e2K 2D at 240-480 Hz (scaled); 2K 3D at 120 Hz per eye; Christie View\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eChristie View\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e4 mono views at 60 Hz per user or 2 stereo views at 60 Hz per eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eLicense file (.key) from Christie Technical Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eRequired software\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eChristie Twist v2.8 or above\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Christie 163-163101-01 a physical kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a license file from Christie Technical Support, applied through Christie Twist.
