    4K images at 120 frames per second. Mirage SST provides several design and installation advantages. Its small form factor allows it to be installed independently, or as part of a multi-projector array, into tight, challenging environments. The remote light source also allows the chilling equipment to be located away from the projector head where its noise will not impact the audience’s enjoyment of the show.

  • Page 15: How The Projector Works

    LCD display to provide information at-a-glance How the projector works The Mirage SST accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens, typical in commercial or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a laser illumination source, then fed to the projector through a fiber optic cable, where it is modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information.
