Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH 40,000 lumens, 3DLP, native 4K projector (TAA Compliant)

Product Overview

The Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH (TAA Compliant) is the world's first high-brightness hybrid RGB pure laser and laser phosphor projector, delivering 40,000 ISO lumens of native 4K (4096 x 2160) 3DLP imagery. Its hybrid illumination produces vibrant DCI-P3 color while supporting every 2D application, all active and passive 3D formats, and any screen type. The award-winning platform sets a new standard for large-venue and immersive projection, including an exclusive Infitec color comb 3D option.

Product Description

Sapphire 4K40-RGBH pairs a solid-state RGB pure laser source with a dual laser phosphor system, combining the color gamut of RGB laser with the output efficiency of phosphor illumination. The dust-sealed 1.38-inch 3DLP light engine resolves true native 4K, while Christie TruLife+ electronics process 1.2 gigapixels per second across an exhaustive input complement: quad 12G-SDI on full-size BNCs, four DisplayPort connections, three HDMI connections (including HDMI 2.1), SDVoE via Christie Terra, and Christie Link fiber in and out. Frame rate options scale with the application — 4K at 60 Hz standard, 4K at 120 Hz with the Mirage option, and up to 2K at 240-480 Hz with Mirage Pro. The exclusive Infitec color comb 3D solution delivers superior light efficiency and a perceived DCI-P3 gamut for brighter, more lifelike 3D than traditional laser phosphor or lamp-based systems, while polarized and active 3D remain fully supported on standard-gain or silver screens, front or rear. Illumination life reaches 25,000 hours to 50% brightness on the RGB laser stage and 20,000 hours on the laser phosphor stage, with self-contained liquid cooling and omnidirectional orientation. Twist warping ships standard, with Twist Premium/Pro and the Mystique camera-based alignment family available as options, and Christie Conductor manages up to 256 projectors at no extra charge. This TAA-compliant configuration suits government and institutional procurement. Contact us for current availability and configuration assistance, or browse our Christie Digital collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the hybrid RGBH illumination different?
It combines a solid-state RGB pure laser with a dual laser phosphor system — the first high-brightness projector to do so — delivering DCI-P3 color with 40,000 ISO lumens of output.

What 3D formats does it support?
All active and passive formats: the exclusive Infitec color comb 3D option (works on any surface), polarized 3D with third-party filters, and active 3D with third-party glasses via the Mirage options.

What does the Mirage Pro option add?
Everything in Mirage (4K at 120 Hz, 4K 3D up to 120 Hz) plus 2K at 240-480 Hz, 2K 3D at 120-240 Hz per eye, and the Christie View simultaneous multi-content viewer.

What is the illumination lifetime?
The RGB laser stage is rated 25,000 hours and the laser phosphor stage 20,000 hours, each to 50% brightness.

What does TAA compliance mean for buyers?
This configuration meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for U.S. federal government and federally funded purchases.

What power does it require?
200-240 VAC, 20A single phase for full output; it can run on 100-120 VAC, 15A at up to 30% brightness. The connector is IEC60309 30A, with an optional hard-wired kit installed by a qualified electrician.
