Christie DWU880A-GS 9,000-Lumen WUXGA Laser DLP Projector (White, No Lens) - 171-043108-01

Product Overview

The Christie DWU880A-GS (171-043108-01, white) is a 9,000-lumen WUXGA 1DLP laser projector designed for installations that demand long service life without lamp or filter maintenance. Its laser light source is rated for 20,000 hours of consistent illumination and supports 24/7 operation. With a compact chassis, quiet operation, and a full suite of motorized interchangeable lenses, it fits permanent installs in education, worship, and entertainment venues. A TAA-compliant variant is also offered.

Product Description

The DWU880A-GS pairs WUXGA resolution with 9,000 lumens of laser illumination, eliminating the recurring cost and downtime of lamp and filter replacements. Christie Twist is built in, allowing edge-blending and stacking of multiple projected images on 2D or 3D surfaces with precise grid-point and mesh geometry control. For automated alignment, the projector is compatible with Christie Mystique, a camera-based system that aligns, stacks, and blends multi-projector arrays in minutes; Mystique Lite is available at no cost for simple 2D arrays of up to three projectors on a flat surface. The motorized lens mount provides powered zoom, focus, and offset from the remote control, and the chassis operates in any orientation for unrestricted mounting. HDBaseT carries Full HD video, audio, network, and control over a single Ethernet cable, while an optional wireless module simplifies presentation setup. Eco Mode reduces brightness to 50 percent to extend component life and lower noise, and a DICOM simulation mode supports grayscale-critical medical training content.
