This projector is a road warrior in every sense of the word, delivering rock-solid performance. With 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 – for true road-worthiness. Christie Roadster HD18K Projector – A Striking Performer The new Christie Roadster HD18K projector is a powerhouse of illumination that delivers 17,500 ANSI lumens, the highest ANSI lumens offered in a native HD product in a compact design. Powered by proven 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.
