The Roadster and Mirage S+/HD Series
User Manual supports software v1.6g or
higher. The Roadster and Mirage S+/HD
Series of projectors are innovative, high
brightness DMD™ projectors that use
next generation Digital Light
Processing™ (DLP™) technology from
Texas Instruments. All models feature
compact size, rugged construction, and
integral rigging hardware, with the
Roadster Series ideal for difficult
rental/staging installations of multiple
projectors, and the Mirage Series featuring amazing stereo 3D output. A quick-
change lamp module, no-tool lens replacement, and intuitive user interface means the
ultimate in versatility and ease-of-use. These projectors provide brilliant images with
1400 x 1050 (SXGA+) or 1920 x 1080 (HD) clarity and perfect color saturation in a
wide variety of applications.
The Roadster and Mirage Series each have features for your distinct needs. The
stereoscopic Mirage projectors provide 3D solutions for power walls, simulation, and
entertainment venues. Roadster models include an additional input module as well as
integral hardware for stacking and flying up to three projectors.
This guide applies to the following projector models:
•Roadster S+12K
•Roadster S+16K
•Roadster S+20K
•Roadster HD12K
•Roadster HD18K
•Mirage S+14K
•Mirage HD12
•Mirage HD18

General
•DLP™ three-chip electronics with true 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+) and 1920 x
1080 (HD) native resolution
•Ten-bit digital video processing
•Single-lens design with field-interchangeable, fast-change lens – no tools needed
•Modular design for easy servicing
•Intelligent Lens System (ILS™) to save and restore lens settings
•Built-in handles and multiple rigging points
•Choice of lenses (from 0.67:1 up to 10.4:1, SXGA+ or HD), all zoom lenses
motorized
Lamps / Light Output
•Brightness (ANSI lumens)
•Roadster S+12K/HD12K or Mirage HD12 = 12000
•Roadster S+16K or Mirage S+ 14K = 16000
•Roadster HD18K or Mirage HD18 = 18000
•Roadster S+20K = 20000
•Contrast Ratio (ANSI lumens)
•450:1 ANSI
•1600-2000:1 Full Field
•LiteLOC™ for automatic constant-brightness control
•Quick change bubble-style lamp module
Inputs
There are two different types of Input face plates configurations (model dependant).
See Figure 1.1 & 1.2. These configurations may include the following inputs:
•One analog RGBHV/YPbPr input with five BNCs
•One DVI-I input for either digital RGB/YCrCb or analog RGB/YPbPr
signals
•One analog composite-video input
•One analog S-video input
•Built-in multi-standard video decoder (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M,
PAL-N, PAL-60 AND SECAM)
•One Dual SD/HD-SDI module (standard on Roadster models only)
•Compatible with all currently used HDTV formats
For simplicity, this manual refers to the configuration in Figure 1.1 only.

Special Display Functions
•Auto setup with seamless cut-and-fade source switching
•Electronic brightness uniformity
•Screen-to-screen matching and blending for smooth multiple-projector displays
Communications and Diagnostics
•Two standard keypads: built-in and remote (for IR or wired control)
•Front and rear dual IR sensors
•Ethernet, RS232, RS422, and GPIO control ports
•Easy-view LED for error codes and LCD for status and error messages
•Voltmeter for monitoring AC
The projectors accept data/graphics and video input signals for projection on to front
or rear flat screens. High brightness light is generated by an internal Bubble lamp,
and then modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels that provide
digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “on” pixels of each
panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through the front lens,
where all pixels are superimposed as a sharp full-color image.
