Christie® , the industry’s preferred brand for digital projection
solutions for entertainment venues – including cinema and location-based venues
such as theme parks, museums and planetariums – as well as rental-staging
projects, today officially announced its laser projection system platform and
products.
Anchored by the Christie Freedom® laser illumination
system, the Christie CP42LH (Cinema), Christie D4K60LH (ProVenue) and Christie
Mirage 4KLH (Immersive Environments) models are now available for widespread
adoption, having been field proven with key Christie customers in 2014/2015 in
both publicly-announced and non-disclosed installations.
“By providing from 5,000 to 60,000 lumen
brightness, 4K resolution and on up to the Rec. 2020 color space for the best color
reproduction in the industry, Christie’s RGB laser systems are setting new
standards for incredible brightness, wider color gamut and astounding
contrast,” said Don Shaw, senior director, Product Management, Christie. “With
this announcement Christie redefines what the world’s best shared experiences
are capable of, by increasing performance and capabilities across multiple
applications and markets.”
The Christie® laser projection system
used in all models is based on a scalable laser light source with a choice of projection
heads and a fiber cable that connects the laser light source with the
projection head. The complete laser projection system is engineered to produce
high brightness levels and exceptional color utilizing a high bit depth 4K
resolution imaging engine.
The Christie Freedom laser illumination
system’s modularity allows for 5000 lumen increments (‘steps of light’) output per
module in a rack-mounted array of modules. The Laser Module consists of
multiple RGB lasers, a cooling system and a fiber connection, which allows each
module to be self-contained; therefore providing modular redundancy to the
Christie Freedom laser illumination system.
Christie is supplying three, highly
engineered and powerful projection heads with its laser systems, tuned for
specific customer/market needs: - The DCI compliant Cinema projection head (Christie CP42LH – capable of up to
48Hz).
- The ProVenue 60Hz model (Christie D4K60LH – capable of up to 60Hz).
- The Immersive 120Hz head (Christie Mirage 4KLH – the
only laser system capable of up to 4K resolution at 120Hz in a single
projector).
All of Christie’s projection heads
and Christie Freedom laser illumination systems are available for purchase
through Christie or its authorized partners today.
