Engineered for life on the road
Christie Digital Systems’ Roadster S4 has evolved, already an established
and proven system for rental staging applications, this next generation
staging projector boasts the most durable and dependable chassis yet.
Passing rigorous and extensive 3rd party testing, the new ruggedized
Roadster S4 is engineered for life on the road.
The S4 outputs 4,000 ANSI lumens by way of a power saving 700W Xenon
CERMAX
®
illumination system. Yet the S4’s compact and rugged frame
hides one of the most sophisticated projection systems available today.
Advanced inverse telecine digital processing and uncompressed SXGA
data projection delivers outstanding image performance for both video
and data. And all this in a package that consumes almost 50% less power
than its nearest rival, making high quality event-projection accessible to
even more venues.
Christie Digital’s long-standing expertise employing 3-chip DLP™ 
technology enables you to take full advantage of the Roadster’s digital
capabilities. Fitted with a digital interface, the Roadster S4 can project a
digital signal from source to screen without signal conversion – ensuring a
100% digitally perfect image reproduction every time. Making the
Roadster S4 the ideal choice for projecting HDTV and DTV images as they
were intended.
In keeping with our edict of offering purpose-built solutions, all models in
the Roadster series are fitted with Christie Digital’s proprietary Intelligent
Lens System (ILS™) and LiteLOC™ facility. The former, a fully motorized
lens system allows for the automatic recall of lens position and source
parameters upon changing source, not only reducing set-up times 
but also making it possible to stage more sophisticated events with 
lower labor costs. While the latter gives you full control of the S4’s 
programmable power supply. 
The Roadster series is compatible with the widest range of sources and
supported by a complete range of both fixed and zoom lenses (with 
bayonet-style insertion for fast lens change). And because the Roadster
S4 has such tremendous lens offset, the S4 can accommodate even the
most demanding staging environment. 
This off-set capability combines well with the systems functional, 
unobtrusive design and compact size making it the ideal system for 
stacking solutions. The Roadster S4 can be easily flown via integrated 
fly-points or via our newly designed stacking rig, The S4’s modular 
structure provides easy access to the S4’s internal systems via a 
quick-release side panel – even when rigged to fly.
The Roadster S4 also shares a common modular architecture with all the
other models in the Roadster series. The S4 can be upgraded at only an
incremental cost to deliver even brighter images at more than 6000 ANSI
lumens.
Rugged, robust and reliable this 92lbs-workhorse projector takes the stress
and strain out of event staging and is engineered for life on the road.
