About the Christie 140-092102-02 HS Series D13WU-HS 12500 Lumen 1DLP Projector - No Lens
The Christie 140-092102-02, part of the HS Series and identified by the model D13WU-HS, is a powerful, single-chip DLP laser phosphor projector engineered for high-impact visual displays in large venues. It delivers a native WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) and an impressive 12,500 lumens of brightness, making it suitable for applications such as large auditoriums, houses of worship, digital signage in bright atriums, and rental/staging events where intense ambient light must be overcome. This projector utilizes a durable, long-life laser phosphor light source that maintains consistent brightness and color output over an extended operational lifespan, significantly reducing maintenance costs associated with traditional lamp replacement and providing reliable, high-performance operation for continuous or heavy-use schedules. The "No Lens" designation indicates that the projector is supplied as a bare chassis, providing maximum flexibility for system integrators to select from Christie's extensive range of optional, high-precision lenses to perfectly match the specific throw distance and image size requirements of the installation.
The projector's imaging core is based on a 1.1-inch DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) capable of displaying the full WUXGA resolution with high contrast and detail. It incorporates Christie's BoldColor technology and a 6-segment color wheel to deliver a wide color gamut, producing vibrant and accurate colors suitable for both presentation and entertainment content. For installation versatility, the unit features comprehensive geometric correction tools, including edge blending, warping, and stacking capabilities, which are essential for creating seamless multi-projector arrays or projecting onto curved and unconventional surfaces. The sealed, liquid-cooled optical engine is designed to be highly resistant to dust, ensuring stable performance and image quality in challenging environments where airborne particles are a concern, a critical feature for permanent installations.
Designed for professional integration and control, the D13WU-HS offers robust connectivity options, including multiple HDMI inputs, HDBaseT for long-distance signal transmission, and comprehensive network control via protocols such as Christie Link, Crestron, Extron, and AMX. Its modular design supports easy serviceability and features a redundant cooling system for enhanced reliability during 24/7 operation. The projector is engineered for both front and rear projection setups and can be oriented in any position, offering full installation flexibility. The Christie D13WU-HS stands as a high-brightness, laser-phosphor workhorse, providing the intense light output, reliable performance, and system integration capabilities required for the most demanding large-venue visual applications.
