Overview
The Roly RL-C1U is a compact 3,300 ANSI lumens WUXGA laser projector built around genuine 3LCD imaging technology. Marketed by Roly as one of the world’s lightest and smallest laser projectors in its class, its slim chassis is designed for easy installation and portability, making it simple to move between classrooms, meeting rooms, or event spaces without compromising on image quality.
Because 3LCD technology delivers colour brightness equal to white brightness, the RL-C1U produces natural, vivid images without the rainbow effect associated with single-chip projection. ROLY’s Chameleon Color Richness Technology extends this further, covering more than 70% of the NTSC standard colour gamut so on-screen colour closely matches what the eye actually sees.
At the heart of the RL-C1U is a laser diode light source rated for up to 20,000 hours in Normal mode (25,000 hours in ECO mode), removing the cost and downtime of routine lamp replacement. The laser engine is also more energy-efficient than a conventional lamp, using over 30% less power than typical lamp-based projectors of similar output.
A dedicated Presentation Mode boosts black-and-white contrast for sharper, more legible text and charts in classroom and meeting settings, while the laser light engine is built for stable, uninterrupted 24/7 operation. Running in ECO mode also keeps operating noise down to as low as 28dB for quieter working and learning environments.
The RL-C1U projects a 30″ to 300″ image from a throw distance of roughly 0.86m to 10.06m, with both vertical and horizontal keystone correction to simplify off-angle setups. Connectivity includes dual HDMI inputs, VGA in/out, RS-232C, dual USB-A, composite video, audio in/out, and a LAN port, making it straightforward to integrate into most existing AV setups.
The RL-C1U sits alongside the Roly RL-C1W in the same compact laser projector series, offering higher WUXGA resolution for buyers who need finer detail than the RL-C1W’s WXGA panel.
Key Features
Compact, Lightweight Design
Marketed by Roly as one of the world’s lightest and smallest laser projectors in its class, the RL-C1U is easy to install or carry between rooms at just 4.65kg with a slim 420 x 100 x 280mm footprint, suiting a wide range of installation environments.
3LCD Colour Technology
For 3LCD technology, colour brightness equals white brightness. There is no rainbow effect, and higher colour restoration capability produces more real and natural colour.
Long-Life Laser Light Source
The laser light source has an ultra-long service life of 20,000 hours, with energy-saving and environmentally-friendly characteristics that save more than 30% of energy compared to general lamp-based projectors.
ROLY Chameleon Color Richness Technology
With over 70% of the NTSC standard colour gamut coverage, the RL-C1U truly restores the natural colours seen by the human eye.
Presentation Mode for Education and Meetings
ROLY’s Presentation Mode provides high contrast in black and white to improve readability, so text and charts can be clearly and accurately presented.
24/7 Stable Operation
The laser light source is engineered to overcome the thermal limitations of conventional light sources, keeping the whole machine stable under long-term, uninterrupted operation.
Low Operation Noise
Running in ECO mode keeps operating noise down to as low as 28dB, for quieter classrooms, meeting rooms, and event spaces.
