Christie 163-195106-01 – Harsh Environment Side Filter Kit is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
What is the Christie 163-195106-01 harsh environment side kit?
The Christie 163-195106-01 harsh environment side kit is an external side filtration kit for Christie Griffyn Series projectors and the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH. It includes an external frame kit and one filter, giving better filtration and airflow when these high-brightness 3DLP projectors run in dusty or dirty venues such as arenas, touring stages and themed attractions.
What does the Christie 163-195106-01 do?
The side kit places a filter over the projector's side air path so dust and dirt are captured before they reach the optical system. Christie notes this can significantly reduce the contaminants reaching the optics, which protects image quality on projectors that are expensive to clean or service in place.
Christie lists the kit for the Christie Griffyn 4K35-RGB, Griffyn 4K50-RGB and Sapphire 4K40-RGBH. Griffyn projectors can also take a matching harsh environment bottom kit for full coverage, and replacement side filters are sold separately. Christie publishes an instruction sheet for installing the side filter kit.
