About the Christie Roadster S6 6,000 Lumens SXGA 3-Chip DLP Large Venue Projector
The Christie Roadster S6 is a high-performance, 3-chip DLP large-venue projector engineered to deliver brilliant, detailed visuals for demanding events and installations. With a native SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) resolution and a powerful 6,000-lumen output, it strikes a balance between detailed data projection and vibrant video, making it suitable for large-scale presentations, digital signage, mid-sized concert events, and sophisticated simulation environments. Its core imaging technology utilizes three separate DMD chips—one each for red, green, and blue light—which eliminates the color wheel used in single-chip systems. This 3-chip architecture provides exceptional color accuracy, high brightness uniformity, and eliminates the "rainbow effect," resulting in smooth, natural color reproduction and precise grayscale performance that is critical for rendering detailed graphics and lifelike imagery.
Designed for both rental/staging and fixed installation, the Roadster S6 offers extensive flexibility through a broad selection of interchangeable, motorized lenses. This allows technicians to select the perfect throw ratio for any venue, from ultra-short to long throw, and remotely adjust zoom, focus, and lens shift via the projector's menu or a control system to perfectly frame the image. The projector features a comprehensive suite of image adjustment tools, including advanced warping and blending capabilities, enabling the creation of seamless multi-projector arrays for panoramic or curved displays without external processors. Its robust construction, featuring a durable chassis and a high-performance cooling system, is built to withstand the rigors of transportation and continuous operation in challenging environmental conditions.
The Roadster S6 is built for seamless integration into professional workflows. It offers a wide array of inputs, including multiple HD-SDI, HDMI, and computer-video ports, ensuring compatibility with various media sources. Network connectivity facilitates remote monitoring and control using Christie's proprietary software or third-party protocols. While its native resolution is SXGA+, it adeptly scales and displays high-definition 1080p and other common video formats. The combination of reliable 3-chip DLP brightness, versatile lensing, professional features, and rugged build quality makes the Christie Roadster S6 a proven and trusted solution for production companies and integrators who require a dependable, high-quality projector for impactful visual displays in large, bright environments.
