AIMC/Gold Coast, Australia—Oct 12, 2015
Christie Showcases A Comprehensive Range of Cinema and Experiential Digital Signage Solutions at AIMC
Christie®, the global leader in visual displays and audio technologies, is participating in the 70th Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC), which takes place at the Pavilion Convention Centre, Jupiters Hotel & Casino in Gold Coast, Australia, from October 11-15.
As the gold sponsor of this
prestigious event, Christie is proud to provide the Christie CP2220 DLP® digital cinema projector for movie
screenings conducted throughout the convention. Designed for ease of use and
maximum reliability with the majority of screens in commercial exhibition, the
Christie CP2220 is the brightest, highest performance projector with the lowest
operating costs in its class.

CP2208 digital cinema projector on show at the booth
Christie is showcasing its
state-of-the-art cinema and audio solutions, which include the new Christie CP2208 digital cinema projector that delivers
superior performance with flexibility and affordability, as well as Christie
Vive Audio™ that offers
rich, dynamic and detailed sound.
Designed for screens up to 10 meters
wide, the CP2208 is capable of displaying DCI, 3D, High Frame Rate (HFR),
alternative and local content. Feature film content can be displayed using a
third-party Integrated Media Block (IMB) or the easy to operate Screen Management
Software (SMS) with the Christie Integrated Media Block (IMB-S2). Christie also
provides a comprehensive range of lamp and lens options that offer a low cost
of ownership, enabling cinema exhibitors to realize a faster return on
investment.
Also on display are Christie
Vive Audio components including LA1 screen
channel speakers, LA3C surround
speakers, S115 and
S118
subwoofers, and a range of Class D amplifiers.
Combining the superior sound qualities of ribbon driver technology with the
proven high-quality performance of a line array speaker design, Christie Vive
Audio unlocks the full potential of DCI digital cinema audio formats to deliver
the most realistic audio experience possible.
A range of Christie Vive Audio components are showcased at the booth
In an effort to engage in
knowledge sharing with AIMC participants, Christie will deliver a presentation
titled “How Experiential Digital Signage is Creating Value for Exhibitors” in
the Jupiters Theatre on October 14 at 2:30 p.m. Presented by Denys Lavigne, senior
director, Christie THREE SIXTY, it outlines how next-generation digital
signage, or experiential digital signage, is redefining environments and how
brands connect with consumers. The presentation also offers insights and
observations on how experiential digital signage is delivering value in
hospitality, retail, and cinema, particularly for cinema lobbies. Fascinating
experiential installations from around the world and global trends in this area
will also be shared.
An interactive Christie
MicroTiles “gaming” wall at Hoyts
Cinema Technology Group’s booth
To help exhibitors elevate their “lobby” experience to a new
level, Christie is presenting a turnkey multi-touch video wall solution through
the creation of an amazing interactive digital experience at the Hoyts Cinema
Technology Group booth at #33/34. A large-format interactive 6 x 4 Christie
MicroTiles® display will be showcased together with Christie
Interactivity Kit and Christie JumpStart to
produce an interactive “gaming” wall. Visitors can play the highly popular
“Angry Birds” video game series from Rovio Entertainment on the MicroTiles wall
for a chance to win an Apple Watch
or a pair of Christie speakers.
Besides offering a
complete range of cinema and experiential digital signage solutions, Christie also
runs a network operations centre in Melbourne that serves as the central hub
for cinema support activities. Known as the Christie-ICAA Network Operations
Centre (NOC), it provides 24/7 monitoring of hardware and offers round-the-clock
telephone support for all technical issues, including day-to-day operational
questions.
Christie has recently
reached an agreement with Hoyts Cinema Technology Group to license the KDM
Krawler system for use in the Christie-ICAA NOC. This allows the NOC to use the
system for automatic delivery of KDMs directly to cinemas for movie playback –
the system sends a report to the cinema once KDMs are ingested. The cinema no
longer needs to spend time extracting and installing KDMs from emails for each
feature, which results in time savings for exhibitors. Known as the “Christie
KDM Assistant”, it will be a value-added service provided to all Christie-ICAA
NOC-connected customers to help them stay competitive at no extra charge. For
more information on this new service, visit the Christie booth.
“With a history of more than
85 years in the cinema business, Christie has been actively involved in
commercial and technological breakthroughs to further the growth of Australia’s
cinema industry,” said Lin Yu, vice president, Christie Asia Pacific. “Our
digital cinema and audio technologies are positioned to help exhibitors
maximise the returns on their investments, provide movie-goers with the best
possible visual and audio experience, and at the same time, reinforce Christie’s position
as a leader in the digital cinema market.”
Michael Bosworth, General Manager, Christie Australia, added, “The AIMC
is a wonderful opportunity for us to network and renew friendships with our
customers and partners in the Australian cinema exhibition industry. This year, we are very pleased to showcase
our latest digital cinema technologies, including the new Christie CP2208
projector and an array of Vive Audio components that deliver the best visuals
and audio quality. Together with our digital-signage lobby solutions designed
to inspire and entertain movie-goers, Christie has what it takes to help
exhibitors engage their guests with a unique, immersive cinema experience.”
