There’s only one projector with the brightest, highest resolution HD 
image – the Christie Roadie HD+35K. Rounding out Christie’s expansive 
3-chip DLP
® product line up, there’s no comparison for resolution, 
brightness or performance.
Producing 32,500 ANSI lumens (35,000 center lumens), this newest 
Roadie features Christie’s unique, flexible split-body design with 
separate switching lamp ballast. The Christie Roadie HD+35K includes 
a rear air exhaust hood for improved stack-ability and a new motorized 
lens mount enables you to focus and adjust lens position using  
a remote control. With native 2048 x 1080 HD resolution and 10-bit image processing, 
images are simply stunning in their size, brilliance and quality. The  
user-replaceable lamps can be automatically aligned at the push  
of a button and user-friendly controls ensure easy maintenance and 
servicing. Along with built-in body handles for handling and rigging  
or an optional stacking/rigging frame this tough, manageable projector 
is built for true road worthiness – frequent transport and quick set-up.

Enhanced power 
Christie RoadToolsTM is a FREE robust suite  
of software tools that enables faster system 
set up, improved projector management and 
increased productivity. RoadTools
TM works 
with 3-chip DLP® and 1-chip DLP® projectors 
using Christie’s exclusive KoRETM technology 
electronics.
LiteLOCTM
The LiteLOCTM feature automatically manages 
your display’s brightness levels over time so 
that you can match the brightness of a multiple 
projector system in tiled or blended arrays.  
This feedback system continuously monitors 
lamp brightness, so that as the lamp goes 
through its natural brightness decay, the system 
increases the lamp power in order to maintain 
consistent brightness.

Roadie ducted exhaust kit   113-107109-XX
Extraction fan kit   38-814008-XX
The combination of the Roadie ducted 
exhaust kit and extraction fan kit directs 
hot air away from the projector to prevent 
overheating when using the Roadie in an 
enclosed room.
CDXL high performance short-arc Xenon 
lamps offer increased brightness in the same 
form factor as standard Xenon grade lamps.
In total, there are two input card slots 
available on the Roadie, one is equipped with 
a standard Dual SD/HD-SDI input card.

In 2008, international beer label, SKOL, commissioned a spectacular disp\
lay  
of artistic images on a 100-foot diameter ferris wheel on Rio de Janeiro’s famous 
Copacabana Beach. The project, entitled “Olhar Redondo” (translated as “look 
around”) and a tribute to Rio’s patron saint, Saint Sebastian, received the “Most 
Innovative Use of Technology for an Outdoor Event” title presented during the 
2009 InfoComm/LSA Staged Events Awards. 
Known for their high brightness and rugged design, stacked Christie Road\
ie 
projectors illuminated the Ferris wheel, located more than 154 feet away. The 
projectors rested on a 39-foot scaffolding tower constructed to resist the area’s 
high winds, which can reach up to 80 mph. Christie projectors were selected for this display because of our excellent 
customer support record and the exceptional ruggedness and reliability  
of our products.

lamp ballast to the projection head for greater 
installation flexibility. Cable kits are available  
in 6ft, 25ft, 50ft and 100ft lengths.
The ballast can be stored up to 100ft away from 
the projection head (cable kit dependent).
Separate projection head and switching lamp 
ballast provide handling and rigging/installation 
flexibility. The separate units enable smaller, 
lighter, more manageable parts.
