X10

Engineered for Life on the Road

Christie’s Roadie X10, the first purpose-built multi-media

projector for large audiences, has broken the light barrier. Taking

full advantage of the relationship with our parent company

Ushio, a leading manufacturer in lamp technology and design,

the Roadie X10 delivers a staggering 10000 ANSI lumens by way

of a new 1.9kW Ushio Xenon short-arc illumination system.

Utilizing 3-chip DLP™ technology, the X10 delivers brilliantly

vivid XGA images with picture-perfect color reproduction. A

level of image quality that is further improved by the ability to

accept serial digital video and reproduce this data with the

accuracy of a fully digital solution.

Combined with innovations such as Christie’s `Intelligent Lens

System‘ (ILS™), which allows the projector to automatically recall

lens position and source parameters upon changing source, the

X10 represents the cutting edge of large audience projection.

Greater lens offset capabilities and a tilt adjustment feature for

improved top and bottom focus uniformity, provide even greater

flexibility when positioning the X10.

All these benefits combine to extend greater control and ease of

use, reducing set-up time and saving you money. Complemented

by a wide range of optional accessories, the X10 can overcome

the most rigorous projection demands and ensures your events

score a ”perfect 10“ with your audience every time.
