Christie Mystique 5MP Camera and 5mm Lens Assembly - Guardian Capable - 156-136101-01

Product Overview

The Christie Mystique 5MP Camera and 5mm Lens Assembly (156-136101-01) is a Guardian-capable camera package for Christie Mystique automated camera-based alignment systems. It provides the 5-megapixel image capture Mystique uses to calibrate, align, and blend multi-projector arrays. The included 5mm lens gives a wide field of view suited to capturing large projection surfaces from practical mounting positions. Guardian capability allows the camera to support continuous, invisible recalibration during live playback.

Product Description

Multi-projector installations drift over time — rigging settles, temperature shifts optics, and lamps or lasers age — and Christie Mystique addresses this with camera-based measurement rather than manual realignment. This assembly pairs a 5MP camera with a 5mm lens, providing the resolution and coverage Mystique software needs to compute warp and blend maps across projection-mapped surfaces, domes, and wide blended screens. With Guardian-capable operation, the system can monitor and correct alignment continuously without interrupting visible content, which is critical for attractions and exhibits that run all day. The fixed 5mm focal length captures a wide scene, allowing fewer cameras to cover large surfaces or tight camera placement in confined show spaces. As a factory Christie component, it integrates directly with Mystique software workflows and is the supported capture device for Guardian-based auto-recalibration deployments.

Key Features

• 5MP Image Sensor — resolution suited to precise warp and blend computation across multi-projector arrays.
• 5mm Wide-Angle Lens — broad field of view covers large projection surfaces from practical mounting points.
• Guardian Capable — supports continuous, invisible recalibration while content plays.
• Mystique System Integration — the supported capture device for Christie Mystique alignment workflows.
• Reduces Manual Alignment Labor — camera-based calibration replaces hours of hands-on projector adjustment.
• Genuine Christie Hardware — factory part 156-136101-01 backed by Christie support.

Typical Applications

This camera assembly serves Christie Mystique deployments in theme park attractions, planetariums and domes, projection-mapped architecture, museums, and large blended displays in auditoriums and visitor centers — anywhere multi-projector alignment must stay accurate without nightly manual touch-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this camera used for?
It is the capture device for Christie Mystique, which automatically calibrates, aligns, and blends multi-projector displays.

What does "Guardian capable" mean?
The camera supports Christie Guardian operation, allowing Mystique to recalibrate projector alignment continuously and invisibly during live content playback.

Why a 5mm lens?
The short focal length provides a wide field of view, so the camera can see large projection surfaces from close or confined mounting positions.

Do I need Mystique software to use this camera?
Yes. The assembly is designed to operate as part of a Christie Mystique system.
