NAB/Las Vegas (April 24, 2006) - Christie, a major provider of visual solutions for business, entertainment and industry, introduces the Christie Roadster S+ 20K DLP® projector, the latest generation of its popular Roadster Series of compact, purpose-built projectors for the rental/staging, live entertainment, trade show and exhibition markets. Driven by a powerful 3-chip DLP SXGA+ engine and delivering 20,000 ANSI lumens, the projector offers superior image quality and increased brightness levels with greater power, performance and lower cost-of-ownership to meet the challenges of the most demanding environments.

The Christie Roadster S+ 20K features a contrast ratio of 1800:1, high quality optics and 10-bit image processing to provide crisp, clean images and perfect color saturation.
