The answer they gave you...even then...was wrong, providing that the information they received was the same.

this is not against Christie - the guys there are just superb - but more in general: the toughest words to hear are "I don't know, I'll find that out and let you know". I always appreciate when someone says that.

Anyone have any additional insight? Would it be possible to hook the AJA Kona card up to the CP4220 to make it work?

Pete...not to contradict you here BUT...the Solaria 4K can definitely run 4K via the 4SDI inputs on the proper cards. However, the restrictions are on the frame rates

BT.1769 is supported. Frame rates of 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 Hz are it though.

You'll find similar restrictions on Barco's quad-link option as well (and I think NEC but I have not investigated that one).

Steve is correct. Quad 3G SDI is available for Christie series two 4K projectors. But the maximum resolution for alternative content is 3840x2160 and no more than 30hz. This is written in Christie manual.

My question here now is could I use dual CP4230 with quad 3G SDI inputs to show passive stereo contents? Has anyone had similar configuration and it worked?
