Mirage 2000/4000/6000 projectors are professional quality DMD

multimedia
projectors that use Digital Light Processing

(DLP

) technology from Texas
Instruments to produce high-brightness stereoscopic three-dimensional graphics.
These models can interface with IBM

-compatible PC, Macintosh

computers and
workstations and, with an optional video
decoder installed, are compatible with standard
international video formats. Mirage
2000/4000/6000 projectors offer exciting
realism with large three-dimensional graphic
images for simulation, virtual reality and other
related 3D applications, all with a brilliance that
can stand up to even high levels of ambient light.
