The newly-launched Christie
CP2208-LP laser phosphor cinema projector is making waves
among exhibitors in China, who are being drawn to its many features, seemingly
tailor-made for the Chinese market.
Delivering
up to 11,000 native lumens of brightness for screens up to 35 feet, the 3D-capable
Christie CP2208-LP is virtually maintenance free with no lamps to change,
offers a lower total cost of operation, and provides a lower carbon footprint
for theater owners. It is available as a complete system with the optional
Christie IMB-S2
integrated media block and also works with other, popular Series-2 IMBs. It delivers
superior content flexibility with its ability to display DCI content,
alternative content, 3D content and content developed at
high frame rates.
“Christie
is a leader in projection technologies, renowned for delivering bright and
colorful visuals to the cinema space. As an exhibitor, I’m very impressed by
the performance and capabilities of the Christie CP2208-LP laser phosphor
cinema projector. Not only does it deliver remarkable visuals, its attractive
cost of ownership and elimination of the need for lamp maintenance makes it a
very compelling product that deserves serious consideration for exhibitors with
smaller auditoriums,” said Xingsheng Jiang, General Manager, Red Carp Digital
Cinema Group.
Christie’s valued partner
Beijing Donview
Technology Development Co., Ltd (Donview) has
played an important role in generating strong interest in the CP2208-LP by
staging a number of roadshows across China since July. So far, the events had
been held in the cities of Chongqing, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Wuhan, Hefei and
Changchun to enthusiastic turnouts by cinema owners and industry players.
Attendees were not only provided with comprehensive information on the benefits
of RGB laser and laser phosphor illumination, they also witnessed live
demonstrations of the CP2208-LP featuring 2D and 3D content.
Hongyi Liang, General
Manager, Digital Cinema Division, Donview, commented, “Christie is well-known
for its visual and audio solutions in the global cinema industry. The latest
CP2208-LP is no exception – it is the clear choice for independent exhibitors,
local art houses with limited budgets and remote sites where accessibility can
be difficult for lamp maintenance. We are confident that exhibitors will
readily embrace this high-value and DCI-compliant digital cinema projector.”
“The
Christie CP2208-LP marks the next level of digital projection, and is fully designed,
engineered and manufactured by Christie,” said Jason Pei, Deputy General
Manager, Christie China. “Reliable and easy-to-operate, it is capable of
lighting screens up to 35 feet wide in DCI color, supports various alternative
content sources through dual HDMI-over-DVI ports, and delivers images on the
screen that are bright and engaging. The CP2208-LP can display a full range of
content, from the latest Hollywood blockbusters to locally produced content
from all over the world.”
Visitors
at BIRTV can catch the Christie CP2208-LP in action at booth #2A236 from now until
Saturday, and experience bright and lifelike visuals like never before.
Besides
laser phosphor illumination, Christie’s RGB laser projection technology is
rapidly gaining followers in China. Producing the brightest images, the purest
colors and the best 3D visual experiences, it represents the pinnacle of
laser-illuminated projection. To date, major cinema chains such as Shanghai
Film Group, Wanda Cinema Line, Oscar International Cinema and Suning Cinema
have deployed Christie’s 6P laser projection system, as well as the similar RGB
laser projection system with enhanced wavelength diversity, to counteract
speckle on silver screens.
