About the Christie DWU555-GS 1DLP Laser Phosphor
The Christie DWU555-GS is a versatile and compact 1-chip DLP laser phosphor projector designed for a wide array of professional applications, including medium-sized meeting rooms, higher education classrooms, museums, and vibrant digital signage installations. This model is part of Christie's GS Series, which is recognized for its reliable performance, simplified installation, and low total cost of ownership. Its defining feature is the solid-state laser phosphor illumination system, which replaces traditional lamps to deliver consistent brightness and vibrant color over an exceptionally long operational life. This technology provides immediate, flicker-free illumination with no warm-up time, alongside a significant reduction in maintenance needs, as there are no lamps to replace and minimal filter servicing required.
Engineered for ease of use and integration, the DWU555-GS delivers a bright 5,500-lumen output with WUXGA resolution, ensuring detailed, sharp images suitable for both data-rich presentations and high-definition video content. The single-chip DLP engine, combined with Christie's proprietary color processing, achieves a wide color gamut and high contrast, producing images with excellent clarity and saturation. The projector is housed in a relatively lightweight and compact chassis that supports 360-degree orientation and flexible lens options, allowing for creative mounting solutions in ceiling, rear-screen, or portable setups. It features a comprehensive set of connectivity options, including HDBaseT for long-distance, single-cable signal transmission over CATx wiring, simplifying system design and installation.
The projector is built with networkability and control in mind, featuring Christie's Twist lock-and-release lens system for quick changes, integrated built-in edge blending and geometric correction for multi-projector arrays, and comprehensive compatibility with third-party control systems via RS-232, LAN, and infrared. Its laser light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours of operation, ensuring years of service with stable light output. The combination of laser reliability, solid image quality, flexible installation features, and network management tools makes the Christie DWU555-GS a practical and future-proofed solution for demanding environments where consistent, low-maintenance performance is a key requirement.
