Ideal for large venues  - building displays, classrooms, concerts, conference rooms, live events, tradeshows and more, the Roadster WU20K-J is fitted with the broadest range of high-quality lenses – all with Intelligent Lens System (ILS™) capabilities. You can use existing stacking hardware, lenses1, lamps, input cards2 and other Christie accessories with this new line of projectors. Fly, rig, stack and ship it - the Roadster WU20K-J performs flawlessly.

This projector couples the benefits of xenon illumination – for the most natural colour accuracy and stability - with the next level of technology, performance and flexibility. With powerful standard features, such as Christie Twist™, liquid cooling and portrait display capabilities, all backed by world-renowned Christie warranties, service and support, the Roadster WU20K-J provides high performance and more lumens per watt in the smallest, most rugged chassis in its class.

With the Christie J Series you can customise your model according to your needs. Each projector ships standard with the ILS lens mount, but if you prefer to use your existing inventory of CT lenses or require a yellow notch filter (YNF), you can choose, at the time of purchase, the following options:

Roadster WU20K-J ILS lens mount (ships standard) ILS lens mount + YNF*  CT lens mount* CT lens mount + YNF*
