AIMC/Gold Coast, Australia—Jul 27, 2018
Christie Continues to Set the Standard for Cinema Technology Innovation at the 2018 Australian International Movie Convention
Christie®, a
leader in creating and delivering the world’s best visual and audio experiences,
is showcasing leading edge cinema technology chosen by cinema leaders at the 2018 Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC),
which takes place at Event Cinemas Pacific Fair, Gold Coast, Queensland,
Australia, from July 29 to August 2.
“Christie
has continued to place strong emphasis on the Australian and New Zealand cinema
industry, and I’m pleased to note that the AIMC is an ideal platform to
showcase our latest technologies, said Dr. Don Shaw, Senior Director, Asia
Sales, Cinema, Christie. “With our unique wealth of knowledge
and experience in cinema for more than half a century, our xenon and RGB pure
laser cinema
solutions are well-placed to meet the needs of exhibitors and postproduction
facilities around the world.”
Dale
Miller, Executive Vice President, Cinema, Christie, added, “Christie is dedicated
to improving the audience experience with our sustained commitment to shape the
future of exhibition, and this is exemplified with the introduction of our RealLaser™
cinema projectors, which have emerged as an industry game-changer. Coupled with
our legacy of cinema innovations, we’ve witnessed numerous exhibitors, studios,
film festivals, content creators and filmmakers around the world choose Christie
for projection, audio, lobby engagements and services.”
The
main highlights include movie screenings by Event Cinemas using Christie cinema projectors, and live demonstrations
of the cinema industry’s first affordable RGB pure laser projector – the Christie
CP4325-RGB – at Gold Class Cinema 1 and in Cinema 6 throughout the
four-day event. Launched in late 2017, the CP4325-RGB is the first model in
Christie’s RealLaser
family that offers all the advantages of a high-performance laser projector in
a compact ‘all-in-one’ form factor. Using discrete, dedicated red, green and blue lasers, Christie RealLaser
delivers
an unequalled, authentic and immersive cinema experience for the mainstream
exhibition market in a cost-effective offering.
As
well, delegates can check out the 2K version of Christie’s family of RealLaser
cinema projectors – the CP2315-RGB pure laser projector – on static display at
booth 9 during the AIMC trade show, held in the cinema foyer from July 30 to
August 2.
Similar to its 4K-resolution sibling, the CP2315-RGB offers film makers a rich
color palette, approaching Rec. 2020 and over 30,000 hours of theatre operation.
Compared to competitive solutions, Christie RealLaser technology will ensure
superior and more consistent brightness levels according to DCI standards
throughout the entire lifetime of the projector.

RGB pure laser installations in Australia and New Zealand
Christie
illumination technologies, ranging from lowest total cost of ownership Xenon
models to state-of-the-art, yet affordable, RGB laser illumination products,
continue to be projection solutions of choice by discerning exhibitors
worldwide. In Australia, several CP4325-RGB laser systems have recently been
installed at the Event Cinemas Pacific Fair cinema in advance of AIMC. HOYTS Cinemas has also installed a number of Christie laser projectors,
starting with a CP42LH system at their Chadstone site in
late 2016 and now at their Docklands site in Melbourne, which will soon become the
first cinema complex in Australia to be fully equipped with Christie’s RGB pure
laser projectors. On the post production side of things, Sydney-based Definition Films
has also chosen a Christie RGB pure laser projection system for their work as well as Department of Post in Auckland, New
Zealand.
Christie-ICA Network Operations Centre
Besides
offering a complete range of cutting-edge cinema and lobby solutions, Christie
has also partnered with the Independent Cinemas Australia in support of independent exhibitors through the Christie-ICA Network Operations Centre (NOC) set up in 2012.
The Christie-ICA NOC provides 24/7/365
monitoring of hardware such as projectors, players, IMBs, theatre management
systems and networks that connect all these components, and offers
round-the-clock telephone support for all technical issues, including
day-to-day operational questions. NOC operators are fully connected to the
equipment on site to quickly fix problems remotely with log files and thus help
to free up employees at the cinema to deal with their customers during the
delay.
About AIMC
Hosted
annually by NACO (National Association of Cinema Operators-Australasia), the Australian
International Movie Convention (AIMC) remains the only event on the Australian
Film Industry calendar to provide opportunities to network with local and
international colleagues from Cinema Exhibition, Distribution, Production, and
Technology & Cinema Equipment Suppliers under one roof. Attracting delegates from Australia, New
