Roadie

S12

Engineered for life on the road.

Christie’s Roadie, the world’s first purpose-built multi-media

projector for large audiences projects with true SXGA 1280 x 1024

resolution and it can do so at 12000 ANSI lumens, making the

S12 the most powerful purpose-built projector in its class, available

on the market today.

The Roadie S12 utilizes the advanced image processing technology

developed for the Roadster series, to offer a level of image quality

that is unrivaled by today’s projection systems. Better still by taking

advantage of the S12’s true digital capabilities you can project

HDTV and DTV images as they were intended.

In designing the S12 we have taken full advantage of our

relationship with our parent company Ushio, a leading manufacturer

in lamp technology and design. The S12 combines such stunning

image rendition, brightness and sharpness of details, yet the S12

utilizes the same 1.9 kW Ushio Xenon short-arc illumination system

as used by our X10 projector.

In keeping with the Roadie series edict of offering purpose-built

projectors for large audience applications, the S12 utilizes

Christie’s unique Intelligent Lens System (ILS™). The ILS™ allows

lens position to be automatically recalled during channel

switching for up to 100 sources. Other features include built-in

stackability and a full suite of fixed and zoom lenses.
