“By integrating the advanced AV processing capabilities of Semtech’s BlueRiver technology in the SDVoE system, Christie was able to enhance the functionality of the Griffyn 4K32-RGB to provide the customer with exceptional color and superior video processing over standard Ethernet,” said Brad Martin, Senior Product Manager at Christie. “The Griffyn 4K32-RGB allows customers to deliver colorful new experiences to their audiences and raises the bar for RGB pure laser projection. The Christie line of 3DLP® projectors are market leaders in illumination and functionality, and strengthen the SDVoE ecosystem’s comprehensive product portfolio.”
The Griffyn 4K32-RGB is Christie’s first projector with a standard SDVoE, (BlueRiver technology) input, offering new digital convergence with the ability to select red, green or blue individually. This color enhancement provides a richer and more memorable audience experience. The device also leverages BlueRiver’s capabilities to replace matrix-based switching with Ethernet without compromising latency or video quality. This enables the Griffyn 4K32-RGB to offer optional high frame rate (HFR) capabilities that achieve 120Hz at 4K resolution or up to 480Hz with HD resolution for lifelike picture quality.
“Christie’s projector serves as a strong example of the innovation and flexibility of products possible through SDVoE-based networking,” said Don Shaver, Vice President of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “By utilizing BlueRiver technology in the SDVoE platform, customers leverage the advantages of Ethernet-based AV communication to create products with lower latency, stronger performance and scalability than legacy matrix switch systems.”
