PROCESSING & PROJECTION:
The Roadie 25K accepts a variety of signals for
projection in large screen applications. High brightness light is generated by a short-
arc Xenon lamp, then modulated by three DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) 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 & RIGGING:
A projector secured in the optional FredFrame

can be
stacked and, if desired, flown with another framed projection head using the Roadie
25K Stacking and Rigging Kit and standard rigging techniques to secure the two
frames together. Each frame provides precision roll, pitch and yaw adjustments of the
projector for precision image alignments. Corresponding lamp ballasts can be located
up to 100 feet away, flown or not.
