The new Christie Roadie HD+30K projector generates 30,000 ANSI lumens of brightness at 2K resolution (2048 x 1080). Combined with extensive warranties and Christie service, the unit features a unique split-body design, a scooped hood for improved airflow, built-in rigging points and body handles or optional stacking/rigging frame. This projector has user-replaceable bulbs that can be automatically aligned at the push of the button and user-friendly controls, the Christie Roadie HD+30K is quick to set-up and maintain, says the company.
The new Christie Roadster HD18K projector delivers 17,500 ANSI lumens, one of the highest ANSI lumens offered in a native HD product in a compact design. Powered by 3-chip DLP technology and Xenon illumination, the projector features a true HD 1920 x 1080 engine that provides razor-sharp resolution, crisp images, exceptional colour and brightness uniformity, and 1600-2000:1 full field contrast ratio, says the company. Built-in stacking and rigging points make it easy to set up for redundancy or to increase brightness, with user-replaceable bulbs.
Every projector in Christie's HD Series displays both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, with HD 4:4:4 capabilities and Digital Black Level control that can be used with the built-in edge blending feature. These projectors include seamless switching, Picture-in-Picture, Christie LiteLOC, which enables constant screen brightness, and the Christie ILS (Intelligent Lens System) for zoom and focus. A built-in RJ45 networking port utilises the ChristieNET networking solution for remote monitoring and control of projectors. True 10-bit image processing ensures superior colour and contrast.
"The Christie series of HD resolution projectors is a virtual tour de force of power, performance, brightness, and features. It continues Christie's unparalleled history of industry firsts, which include the first high brightness 3-Chip DLP HD projectors, the smallest, high-performance 3-Chip DLP, and the brightest 3-Chip DLP HD projectors in the marketplace," declared George Tsintzouras, senior product manager, business products. "The HD series is a remarkable achievement that meets every budget and presentation need today and beyond, backed by Christie service, technical expertise and solid reputation for quality."
