Christie Captiva DWU500S WW Black - 1-DLP, Solid State, WUXGA 1920x1200, 5000lms - Black- 171-037101-02

Product Overview

The Christie Captiva DWU500S (171-037101-02, black) is a 1DLP ultra-short throw laser projector delivering 5,000 lumens at WUXGA (1920 x 1200) resolution. With one of the shortest throw distances available, this compact, lightweight, and quiet projector produces images up to 150 inches diagonal from just inches away — in landscape or portrait orientation. Solid-state laser illumination provides 20,000 hours of low-cost, low-maintenance operation with instant on/off. It is built for spaces that need big, bright images without a long projection path.

Product Description

Ultra-short throw projection lets the Captiva DWU500S mount directly above or below the screen, eliminating presenter shadows and keeping light out of speakers' eyes — a practical advantage in classrooms, meeting rooms, and interactive displays. The WUXGA 1920 x 1200 chip provides a standard 16:10 canvas at full HD-plus detail, and four-corner geometry adjustment squares the image even when mounting isn't perfect. Laser illumination means no lamp replacements: 20,000 hours of operation covers years of daily use with consistent brightness and no warm-up, and instant on/off suits rooms where the projector cycles many times a day. The chassis is compact, light, and quiet, with multiple mounting and orientation options, including portrait, plus 3D format support. At its price point, the Captiva delivers Christie engineering in a form factor sized for everyday rooms rather than arenas. The black finish blends into ceilings and AV furniture.
