Christie lists two affected products: the Mirage 4K32-RGB and the Mirage SST. The kit unlocks Mirage Pro high frame rate operation on hardware you already own, so a simulation, visualization or immersive installation can move to higher frame rates without replacing the projector. It is delivered as a license file, not a physical part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Christie 163-164102-01 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upgrade is applied in software. Christie Technical Support supplies a license file (.key) that is only valid for the Mirage projector serial number or numbers specified at the time of order, so the serial numbers on the purchase order must match the units in the field. The license is loaded with the Christie Projector License Utility, which is part of Christie Twist version 2.8 or later. The projector and the Twist computer are connected to the same network over Ethernet, the projector is brought up to the latest software, and the license is selected and applied before the projector is rebooted. Multi-projector systems repeat the same steps for each unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMirage projectors already run 4K content at high frame rates; Christie describes the Mirage SST as delivering 4K resolution at 120 fps, or 480 fps at 2K resolution with an optional license. Mirage Pro is that higher tier. For flight and driving simulators, motion capture stages, research visualization labs and fast-motion entertainment content, the higher refresh rate reduces motion blur and gives image generators more headroom. Because the license is tied to serial numbers, our team collects the projector serials, confirms the current software level and coordinates the license request with Christie as part of the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Christie 163-164102-01?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirage to Mirage Pro path\u003c\/strong\u003e — Upgrades an existing Mirage projector in place rather than replacing the chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed for Mirage 4K32-RGB and Mirage SST\u003c\/strong\u003e — Christie's instruction sheet names these two products as the affected models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial-locked license file\u003c\/strong\u003e — The .key file from Christie Technical Support is valid only for the serial numbers specified on the order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplied with Christie Twist\u003c\/strong\u003e — Installed through the Christie Projector License Utility in Twist v2.8 or later over Ethernet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh frame rate at 2K\u003c\/strong\u003e — Christie lists 480 fps at 2K resolution as the optional-license capability on Mirage SST.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo hardware swap\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lenses, rigging and signal infrastructure stay in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Christie 163-164102-01 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\u003eBroadcast studio and virtual production stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and immersive venue installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space with simulation requirements\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\"\u003e163-164102-01\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\"\u003eMirage 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\"\u003eMirage 4K32-RGB, Mirage SST\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\"\u003eLicense scope\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eSerial numbers specified at time of order\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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"\u003eConnection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eEthernet, same network as the Twist computer\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 163-164102-01 a physical kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Although Christie calls it a kit, the upgrade is a license file supplied by Christie Technical Support and applied through Christie Twist.
