Christie 177-101103-01 – Left-Eye Infitec 3D Filter for Sapphire is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
What is the Christie 177-101103-01 left-eye Infitec 3D filter?
The Christie 177-101103-01 is the 66 mm left-eye Infitec 3D filter for the Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH projector's Intelligent Filter Holder (IFH). Installed in one projector of a dual-projector pair, it produces the left-eye image for Infitec color-comb passive 3D. It is used in dark rides, media-based attractions, visualization powerwalls and immersive 3D venues.
How does the Christie 177-101103-01 work?
Infitec color comb 3D separates left and right images by wavelength rather than polarization. Each projector carries a matching optical filter, and the audience wears Infitec glasses that pass only the matching wavelengths to each eye. Because the separation is spectral, it works on standard gain screens, rear-projection surfaces and other surfaces that do not preserve polarization.
When this left-eye filter is installed in the Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH, the projector recognizes the filter type through the IFH and automatically configures its settings for left-eye output. Christie positions Sapphire's Infitec solution as delivering better light efficiency and a broader color gamut than traditional laser phosphor and lamp-based 3D projectors.
A complete system uses this filter in one projector and the right-eye filter 177-102104-01 in the second. Infitec 3D glasses are purchased separately from Infitec. Christie recommends a Hawkeye sensor-to-screen calibration the first time a filter type is used, and Sapphire stores LiteLOC calibration per filter type so changing filters does not discard data. Mirage and Mirage Pro upgrades are optional for high frame rate 3D; see the Christie Base to Mirage upgrade.
What are the key features of the Christie 177-101103-01?
- Infitec color comb 3D — wavelength-based passive 3D that works on any projection surface.
- Automatic configuration — the Sapphire IFH recognizes the left-eye filter and sets the projector up for left-eye output.
- 66 mm filter format — sized for the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH Intelligent Filter Holder.
- Per-filter calibration memory — Sapphire stores LiteLOC calibration for each filter type and line voltage.
- Broader color for 3D — Christie cites better light efficiency and color gamut than laser phosphor and lamp-based 3D.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need two projectors for Infitec 3D?
Yes. Sapphire's color comb 3D is a dual-projector solution: one projector with the left-eye filter and one with the right-eye filter.
Are 3D glasses included?
No. Christie states Infitec 3D glasses are a separate purchase from Infitec.
Do I need a silver screen?
No. Color comb 3D works on standard gain, rear-projection and other surfaces because it does not rely on polarization.
Who should install the filter?
Christie specifies installation by a qualified installer wearing clean, powder-free gloves, followed by calibration where needed.
Which other Christie products pair with it?
The right-eye filter 177-102104-01, the Sapphire projector and ILS4 lenses. Browse the Christie Digital collection.
