Using your Christie Roadster S+12K projector is easy. First, connect your devices to the HD - SDI input card. Since it doesn't come with a power cable, you'll need to use your own to plug it in. When you turn it on, if you see the lamp warning light, it means the lamp has run for over 1000 hours and you should replace it soon. For maintenance, keep the projector in a clean and well - ventilated area. Avoid exposing it to dust and extreme temperatures. Check the lamp hours regularly to ensure optimal performance.
