Roadster Series
The incredibly high-brightness and
rugged design make the Roadster Series
perfect for applications where durability,
ease of handling and operation are the
key requirements.
AV Concepts used eight Roadsters, doublestacked on 4 screens to bring the music and
images of the Final Fantasy video game to
life. The Roadsters Series’ improved contrast
ratio and high resolution capabilities were
sited as key factors.

Featuring high-quality DLP®technology,
the Christie Roadster Series has proven to
be the world’s favorite 3-chip, DLP®projector.
Low maintenance, highly reliable DLP
technology delivers high brightness and
unsurpassed color, brightness uniformity and
