Where will you find Christie?
Christie provides purpose-built technology that spans a wide spectrum of today’s leading organizations including government and educational institutions, industries such as automotive and aerospace, as well as research and development. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.
Aerospace
As a pilot, you want the best training possible on the ground before you climb into the cockpit. However, learning ‘on the job’ may be cost-prohibitive or simply too dangerous to be a viable option. Christie’s visual display solutions for flight simulation provide you with out-the-window realism and allow you to repeatedly, consistently practice a task or rehearse a scenario.
Defense
With Christie’s visual display solutions for military and defense simulation, you have the best of both worlds. Train on dangerous tasks and missions in an accurate, true-to-world simulated out-the-window environment while being in a safe environment. Learn from mistakes through rehearsal and preparation, and be ready for any scenario in the real world by utilizing cost-effective simulation technology.
Transportation
Christie’s visual displays for simulation allow the opportunity to repeatedly perform a task or practice skills that can’t be safely executed. For the transportation industry, simulation and training permits real-world learning for driver trainees, train engineers, ship’s bridge simulation, construction and heavy vehicle operators and air traffic controllers.
Education & Training
In a safety-critical system, simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action, or to simulate technology for performance optimization, safety engineering, testing, training and education. It’s the best of both worlds – a real world simulated environment for optimal training.
Government and infrastructure
For government and infrastructure, simulation creates an opportunity to test out new technologies and innovations in a realistically simulated environment. Agencies make use of simulation to achieve performance optimization, enforce safety engineering and aid with testing, training and education because it can show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action.
Technology leadership
A worldwide company and technology innovator, Christie is also a manufacturer, providing a superior advantage from our large experience base of technology and people. Encompassing a variety of tried and true technologies, engineering strength and integration know-how, we offer turn-key or completely customized simulation display solutions. Christie’s exceptional products, knowledge and expertise are an integral part of the entire integrated solution.
Breadth of solutions
The Christie Matrix line employs two alternative illumination technologies: arc-lamps and LEDs. The Christie Matrix Series of projectors are the best choice for simulation applications where the key requirement is real world visual displays for the purpose of simulated training. Christie proprietary TrueIMAGE™ integration tools provide reduced location resource requirements and increased customer independence in terms of display maintenance. The result is customizable, reliable and efficient tools designed to meet the most demanding requirements of blended projection arrays.
LED-based illumination – NVG leadership
Our award-winning Christie Matrix StIM™ features RGB LEDs as well as an IR LED to stimulate Night Vision Goggles (NVG), and self-adjusts in real-time for a seamless display and true-to-life depiction of day, night and stimulated NVG images. The Christie Matrix StIM™ enables a new level of training by utilizing both visible light and IR. Through Christie InfraScene™, the unique capability of processing and displaying infrared content, true-to-life NVG stimulation is achieved for realistic and relevant training in difficult conditions like limited visibility environments and night time operations. This allows for optimizing the balance between the visible and the NIR images without having to compromise one for the other.
Christie Matrix SIM
Built on the same stable, long-life RGB-LED illumination platform as the Christie Matrix StIM, the Christie Matrix SIM offers the civil aviation sector a viable display solution that meets FAA standards and boasts low sustainment costs, low operating costs, real-time auto-calibration and a low latency. The Christie Matrix SIM simulation projection system has received qualification approval by the FAA for complete unrestricted training, meeting the stringent FAA CRF Part 60 Qualification Performance Standards.
ArrayLOC™
Christie ArrayLOC™ – is the unique, real-time processing and calibration technology that enables individual projectors to become intelligent display nodes in a larger arrayed system, available on both the Christie Matrix StIM and Matrix SIM. Christie ArrayLOC self-adjusts in as little as two seconds. It synchronizes and balances the color and brightness levels, reducing the amount of time, labor and costs associated with maintaining a simulation display.
High quality reliable solutions
We have developed proven fulfillment methodologies to meet the unique requirements of our customers in any given application. Once integrated, you can expect consistent, repeatable performance without worry as Christie’s high product reliability enables extensive, consistent use with minimal downtime.
