What is the Christie DWU860-iS?

The Christie DWU860-iS is an 8,500-lumen WUXGA 1DLP laser projector from the Christie Digital Inspire Series, with a built-in motorized zoom lens. It's a professional-grade fixed-lens projector for boardrooms, classrooms, museums, and other small-to-mid-size spaces, with 24/7 operation, an IP5X dust-resistant optical engine, quiet running, and a step up in brightness over the DWU760-iS.

What is included?

  • Christie DWU860-iS projector with fixed motorized lens, part number 171-030104-02

  • IR remote control (batteries included)

  • Power cable

  • Lens cover

How does the Christie DWU860-iS work?

A single DMD and a blue laser phosphor light source replace lamps, so the projector runs up to 20,000 hours to half brightness with almost no maintenance. The airtight IP5X optical engine keeps dust off the optics, and Eco Mode cuts brightness to 50% for longer life and quieter operation. Christie RealBlack turns the laser fully off on black scenes for 3,000,000:1 contrast.

The built-in 1.25–2.0:1 (1.6x zoom) lens is adjusted from the remote with powered zoom, focus, and offset, with ±110% vertical and ±50% horizontal shift. HDBaseT carries video, audio, network, and control over one cable, and AMX and Crestron connectivity make it easy to drop into a controlled room. Christie Twist warping and blending is built in for up to six projectors, and free Christie Mystique Lite can blend up to three automatically. Browse our commercial projectors to compare models.

How long does the laser last?

Christie rates it for 20,000 hours to 50% brightness, and Eco Mode extends that further.

Can it blend with other projectors?

Yes. Christie Twist is built in for up to six projectors, and Christie Mystique Lite is a free download that automates blending for up to three.
