  • Page 17: Projector Overview

    4K images up to 120 frames (for Mirage SST) per second. The systems can be 3P (single) or 6P (dual). Mirage SST provide several design and installation advantages. Their small form factor allows them to be installed independently, or as part of a multi-projector array, into tight, challenging environments.

  • Page 18: 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.
