About the Christie 140-065102-04 D16WU-HS 1 DLP Laser Projector
The Christie 140-065102-04, commercially known as the Christie D16WU-HS, is a high-brightness, 1-chip DLP laser projector engineered for demanding large-venue and simulation applications. It delivers a native WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) with Christie's BoldColor technology, producing vivid, saturated imagery suitable for detailed data visualization, high-impact digital signage, and immersive video content in environments such as control rooms, planetariums, museums, and large auditoriums. The heart of the system is its robust, long-life laser phosphor light source, capable of an impressive 16,000 lumens of consistent brightness. This intense output ensures clear visibility even in high ambient light conditions and on massive screen sizes, while the laser source's longevity, rated for up to 30,000 hours, provides significant operational savings and reliability by eliminating lamp replacements and associated maintenance downtime.
The projector leverages Christie's sealed, dust-proof illumination system, which ensures stable performance and image uniformity over thousands of hours of operation, even in non-climate-controlled environments. It incorporates Christie TruLife™ electronics, a high-performance processing platform that enables the display of content at high frame rates with ultra-low latency, a critical feature for simulation and interactive applications where real-time response is essential. The D16WU-HS offers extensive installation flexibility with a wide range of optional, interchangeable lenses—including wide, standard, and long-throw models—coupled with comprehensive motorized lens shift, zoom, and focus controls. This allows for precise image alignment and geometry correction, including edge blending and warping, to accommodate complex screen shapes and multi-projector setups without external processors.
Designed for seamless integration into professional networks, the projector features comprehensive input connectivity, including HDMI, DisplayPort, and 3G-SDI, alongside Christie Twist™ for advanced warping and blending. It supports extensive remote management and monitoring via Christie's networked solution suite, enabling centralized control of large, multi-unit deployments. Built for 24/7 operation, the D16WU-HS features a robust thermal management system to ensure quiet, efficient cooling. This combination of extreme brightness, laser reliability, high-speed processing, and professional installation features makes the Christie D16WU-HS a premier solution for mission-critical applications where visual impact, continuous operation, and precise image control are non-negotiable requirements.
