Description
The Christie Captiva DWU500S ultra short throw laser projector delivers bright, high-impact visuals in environments where space is limited. Designed with a powerful 5,000-lumen solid-state laser light source and WUXGA resolution, this compact 1DLP projector creates vivid, high-detail images while maintaining quiet operation and a small installation footprint.
With one of the shortest throw distances available, the DWU500S can produce large projection canvases up to 150 inches while positioned close to the screen or wall. Its ultra short throw design minimizes shadows and glare, making it ideal for classrooms, meeting rooms, museums, retail displays, and interactive environments. Flexible orientation support allows both landscape and portrait installations to accommodate creative display setups.
Built for reliability and ease of operation, the DWU500S offers up to 20,000 hours of laser illumination for virtually maintenance-free performance and reduced total cost of ownership. Integrated features such as four-corner geometry adjustment and instant on/off capability simplify setup and ensure accurate image alignment. Multiple mounting options and support for 3D formats further expand deployment possibilities.
The Christie Captiva DWU500S provides an efficient, space-saving projection solution that combines bright performance, flexible installation, and long-life laser technology for modern AV environments.
