When we evaluated projectors to be used on this program of record, we determined that Christie still had the best solution on the market,” said Christopher Caruana, Director of Major Programs, FAAC Inc. “Performance, image quality and reliability were the key drivers, and the Christie Matrix StIM WQ delivers on all counts.” Caruana noted that one of their biggest challenges is supporting the trainer’s modular design that can easily be disassembled at the production site and then reassembled at the user site, where the complex and intricate visual display system needs to be perfectly aligned again. He credits the Christie design and assembly teams with creating sturdy visual display systems – which include the projector and the structure for the projectors to sit in – that allows FAAC’s install team to perform the fine adjustments needed to efficiently and smoothly complete the reassembly process. The system also required flat panel screens with thin bezels, and the Christie FHD461 LCD panels offer ultra-thin bezels to provide a perfect, virtually seamless visual environment when combined with the projected images. “Christie is proud to have been chosen by FAAC, a world leader in supplying world-class simulation based solutions for more than 40 years,” said Dave Muscat, senior director, Visualization, Simulation and Control Room Solutions, Americas Region at Christie. “Their selection of Christie to power one of the most critical components of a training simulator – the visual display system – is a testament to the quality, reliability and performance of Christie simulation products and reflects our commitment to meeting the industry’s highest standards. We look forward to continuing our excellent and productive partnership with FAAC to deliver additional trainers to locations all around the world.” About FAAC Inc.
