        AV company Christie has updated a line of 3DLP projectors to add portrait mode, among other  enhancements. The M  Series now includes 18 models that are portrait capable and have an  additional 500 hours of life in their 450-watt lamps. The enhanced projectors  are upgradable to 3D.
Other features of the new models, according to the company, include:
    - More user-friendly remote controls;
 
    - A twin "DisplayPort" input card that  accepts digital image data from one or two inputs;
 
    - A dual mercury lamp that can run in single lamp  mode for built-in redundancy or can be changed while the projector is in use;
 
    - Embedded "Twist" image warping and  blending to allow multiple curved images to fit any dimension or shape display;
 
    - Optional "AutoStack" software to align  the projector "in minutes";
 
    - Multi-window processing for tiled arrays of  projectors, each of which can show just a portion of the signal; and
 
    - Embedded "LiteLOC" technology to  manage light output.
 
The Christie M Series ships with a three-year parts and  labor warranty.
