Projector Overview

The Roadie HD+35K is a revolutionary split-body DMD
projector utilizing 3-chip Digital Light Processing (DLP)
technology from Texas Instruments. Its unique separation
of projection head and lamp ballast means both parts can
be flown and rigged with greater ease, creating the ideal
solution for challenging rental/staging installations and
tight spaces. With 2048 x 1080 resolution, light output of
32,500 ANSI lumens (35,000 centre lumens), and 10-bit
image processing all standard, Roadie HD+35K images
are stunning in their size, brilliance and quality. This
tough, user-friendly projector is built for frequent
transport and quick setup, even on sprawling networks-
perfect for any large audience venue demanding effortless
installation, and operation.

1.3.1 How the Projector Works

Processing and Projection
The Roadie HD+35K accepts a variety of signals for projection in large screen applications. The High
brightness light is generated by a short-arc Xenon lamp, and then modulated by three Digital Micromirror
Device (DMDs) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green, or blue color information.
As these digital streams flow from the source, light from the responding "ON" pixels of each panel is reflected,
converged and then projected to the screen through one or more front lenses, where all pixel reflections are
superimposed in sharp full-color images.
Stacking and Rigging
Rigging a single projector is possible using the projector's handles together with a set of optional rigging
clamps and standard rigging techniques. Alternatively, a projector secured in an optional FredFrame™ can be
stacked and if desired, flown with another framed projection head using the rigging clamps provided in the
optional Rigging Kit. Each frame provides precision roll, pitch and yaw adjustments of the projector for
precision image alignments. Corresponding lamp ballasts can be locked up to 100 feet away, flown, or not.
NOTE:
Any overhead suspension used MUST be suitably rated for the weight of the projector.
