convergence and registration between red,green and blue DMDs.
Seamless Image 
Mapping (SIMTM)
Provides multichannel display with edge
blending on all four sides of the image through
proprietary software that can control blend
width from 48 to 464 pixels. Easy to use,
intuitive onscreen display menus can be
remotely controlled via RS232. Black levels 
can be further blended through external optomechanical blinders.
Color Purity Filter (CPFTM)
Available as a standard feature on the Christie
Matrix S+2K, the Color Purity Filter (CPFTM)
enables superior color matching for both dark scene matching in night time simulationand bright daylight sky scene simulation.
