Chapter 1:

Product Overview

The Roadster Orbital Movement system from High End Systems

utilizes a moving mirror

head mounted on the front of a Christie Digital Roadster S+12/16 3-chip, DLP

–based

projector to position a projected image anywhere in three-dimensional space. A power hub

component mounts separately to allow DMX control of the Orbital Head movement and

projector shutter, lamp, focus and zoom. It operates with the Catalyst

Media Server (a

separate product that provides real-time video rendering) or independently as a standalone

fixture on a DMX link.

The Roadster Orbital Movement System system ships with:

• A Periscopic Dual-Mirror Orbital Head

• A bracket kit for mounting the Orbital Head to a Christie Digital Roadster Projector

• A Power Hub with truss mounting bracket

• Cabling for XLR, RS-232 and power connections

A System using a dual Mirror Head and a Catalyst Media Server version 1.2 requires a DMX

lighting console that can control 56 channels per fixture and support true 16-bit values on

15+ channels. The Wholehog III™, Hog iPC, Hog 1000, and Hog 500 lighting consoles are

DMX controllers available from High End Systems to control the Catalyst system (see

Accessories on page 2). Contact the controller’s vendor regarding Catalyst support on other

DMX controllers. For more information on operating the fixture with a controller (or control

device such as DMX control software), consult controller documentation.

A video wall, LED panel, or other video display may be required for a specific application.

The Roadster Orbital Movement System customized roadcase is available separately as part

number 56010001.
