Image Processors for 3D

Christie Spyder visualisation – vivid, comprehensive 3D imagery for an immersive visual environment

Vista Spyder

The growing field of scientific and industrial visualization has found a powerful, versatile, reliable tool in the Spyder Video Processor. Because it allows for ultra high-resolution digital inputs and outputs, along with extra flexible display support and an amazing source-overlapping capability, Spyder gives you perspectives that are unmatched in fullness and detail. Read more about visualization video processors in action.

Immerse yourself in 3D / Advanced Visualisation

You simply cannot create more vivid, more comprehensive imagery than Spyder visualisation. That’s because Spyder meticulously integrates and configures complex hardware and software while allowing for the interplay of ever-changing human factors. Spyder can actually project you into a 3D space, creating a real-world environment you can view from all angles. The result is an immersive visual environment that changes the way people approach their workflow processes—and the way they think.

Immersing yourself in Spyder’s display format creates the sensation of becoming one with the application. This is more than a marvellous effect—it allows you to make sound decisions based on detailed, accurate visualisations. Spyder’s 3D capabilities can be utilised with flat or curved screens that completely fill your peripheral vision. This 3D/VR application can display real-world objects that cannot normally be seen, such as molecule shapes, air and liquid dynamics, and weather patterns.

Spyder X20

The Christie Spyder X20 is a versatile hardware-based video processor combined with the flexibility of a universal routing switcher that enables large megapixel displays with increased frame rate capabilities for new levels of visualisation functionality.

What separates the X20 from everyone else is its total capability package at a high frame rate.  The X20 supports up to 20 megapixel bandwidth at a native 120Hz frame rate with source inputs/outputs up to WQXGA (2560x1600) resolution combined with the capability to rotate the image for portrait mode displays.

Users can take any 2D or 3D source format and blend, window, mix, scale and then route the signal to any destination – quickly and easily. The X20 allows for ultra high-resolution digital inputs and outputs, along with extra flexible display support and an amazing source-overlapping capability.

Enhancements

The Spyder X20 contains features of the current Spyder and the URS. The key enhancements that the X20 has over the current Spyder and URS include:

  • The X20 has a up to 20 megapixel bandwidth within the unit; the Spyder has just over
  • 6 megapixels in a single frame group
  • True preview capabilities with live preview, on-the-fly editing and offline preview capabilities
  • Any output can be rotated to display horizontal images
  • Window labeling without using up a layer
  • Advanced ‘auto-sync’ functionality
  • Fast still store functionality
  • Up to 2650 x 1600 on inputs and outputs
  • Discreet parallel expansion capabilities
  • Lower price point when compared to some Spyder solutions
  • Multiple destinations (URS is single destination)
