Christie L8 Product Sheet

RoadRunner

L8

Project your best image

™

Featuring up to 7700 ANSI lumens brightness (maximum), Christie’s

L8 delivers brilliant images for multiple application environments

including fixed installations, rental staging, business presentations

and large venues.

Users can take advantage of the L8's quad lamp system to

project in either 7700 or 3850 ANSI lumens brightness mode to

conserve on lamp usage. As well, the lamp usage of the L8 can

be monitored, allowing for easy administration and lamp

management. And, in the unlikely event that not one or two,

but three lamps fail, the quad lamp system would ensure the L8

remains operational--virtually guaranteeing that your show or

presentation can continue without interruption.

The L8 is compatible with the full array of video and data inputs and

as a Christie projector, it is designed for the digital age. The L8 uses

a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) that eliminates picture noise and

signal degradation. The perfect picture can be perfectly positioned

using the L8's enhanced motorized lens system, for image shift (in

both vertical and horizontal planes), digital focus, zoom and

keystone facilities.

The RoadRunner series is supported by an extensive suite of short,

medium, long, fixed and zoom lenses (optional) and can be relied upon

to meet the rigours of most staging environments. Furthermore,

presentation features such as digital magnification, picture freeze and

‘no-show’ mode can be used to add that extra bit of showmanship for

any event. The on-screen logo display, even permits your customers to

display their own logos, images or messages when a signal is not present.
