DL2 getting brighter?

Just curious where the DL2 is headed brightness wise. I have seen the Christie website and it seems that they have no new models that match the specifications of the LX55. Is this as bright as it gets for the while or is there going to be anything newer or brighter in the near future?

Also, has there been any real discussions about the amount of fan noise it produces? Trying very hard to incorporate them in to the feature film world. So far these are the top reasons they are getting cancelled from orders.

Thanks,

    [quote=jthatcher]What makes the DL2 package such a good option for us, and others as well, is the system is all self contained and portable. We move things contantly for different shots and rarely are they easy to get to. Running the extra cables causes even the DL1 with a media server difficult to use in a majority of the situations. Manly becuase of time and then the opportunity for error.

    I agree with you completely on that

    Two nice things about the Roadsters:

    1-that the Orbital Heads now mount directly to the projector...no messing around with unistrut parts like with the old/original orbital heads or other projctor models.

    2-you can put whatever lens you like on the projector

    Two disadvatages:

    1-you lose the pysical blackout iris from the DL.2...this can be partially ovecome by simply fading out your image and then moving the head to not see the black raster box.

    2-no DMX control of focus and zoom of the projector...all done either by handheld remote or a serial interface.
