Rent a Spyder X20 system for your next show
HRE’s Christie Spyder X20 rental systems bring screen switching and video processing together for corporate events, widescreen projection and multi-display productions. Build layered layouts with presentation, camera and playback sources across the display arrangement your show requires.
Our rental approach is based on real show experience: scope the processor, control, signal routing and accessories as a system. Share your screen layout, source list and cue requirements so HRE can help plan the package, including the practical items needed at the show site.
System planning and experienced show support
Talk to HRE about custom system design, pre-show programming, video engineering and screen-switching operation. Confirm any control hardware, adapters, cabling, monitoring and backup equipment in the quote so the rental matches your production.
Pair the X20 with PIXERA playback, Lightware MX2 routing or Blackmagic SDI routing as needed. For a different processing scope, explore our Spyder X80 rental systems.
Photos show HRE system examples; the equipment supplied is defined by your rental quote.

What is included in an HRE Spyder X20 rental?
HRE plans X20 systems around the production, including the processor and agreed accessories. Confirm the control hardware, routing, monitoring, cables, adapters and backup equipment in your quote; example rack photos are not a fixed packing list.
Can the X20 handle widescreen blends and multiple displays?
Yes. Blending, scaling and source windowing support widescreen and multi-display layouts. Send the screen resolutions, blend regions, source count and required layers so HRE can check the processing and channel allocation.
How many inputs and outputs will my system have?
That depends on the X20 model, signal formats and channel allocation. Provide your full source and destination list, including backup feeds, so HRE can confirm the quoted system’s capacity.
Can I connect HDMI, DisplayPort or 4K sources?
List the exact connector, resolution and frame rate for every source and destination. The X20 uses DVI, SDI and analog interfaces; any adapters, conversion or alternative processor should be planned for the required formats.
Can HRE provide programming and an operator?
Yes. Ask about system design, pre-show programming, video engineering and experienced screen-switching support. Include rehearsal times, show dates, location and expected cue complexity.
What do you need for a rental quote?
Send your dates, venue, screen layout, pixel dimensions, source list, signal formats and show requirements. Include any signal-flow drawings and tell us about control, labor and backup needs.
