Christie Illuminates the Future of Cinema Technology at CinemaCon 2019
Christie®, a leader in creating and
delivering the world’s best visual and audio experiences, will be opening
CinemaCon 2019, April 1 – 4 at
Caesars Palace with an arsenal of projection and sound innovations, designed to
best tell the stories that capture the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide,
while adding to the bottom line of the studio and exhibition communities.
The
Milano 1-3 ballrooms, complete with a 30-seat theatre with Christie
RealLaser™ projection and Vive
Audio, will showcase how energy-saving, future-proofed projection and
sound offerings can deliver ultra-realistic color, contrast and bright images
for life, along with unequalled cinema sound. All to be expected from Christie,
the cinema industry’s most reputable leader, committed to the industry for more
than half a century.
“And
what a difference a year makes. Last year at CinemaCon, Christie debuted its 4K
resolution CP4325-RGB cinema
projector, the first RealLaser system developed for mainstream cinema
exhibition. Exhibitors have recognized the advantages bestowed by our exclusive
Christie RealLaser™ illumination platform,” said Dale Miller, executive vice
president, Cinema, at Christie. “Interest in and orders for our new,
RealLaser-equipped systems, including the Christie 2K resolution CP2315-RGB and
CP2320-RGB models added
to the family in 2018, is exceeding all expectations.”
Since
their official launch, Christie’s pure laser CP4325-RGB, CP2315-RGB and
CP2320-RGB projectors, based on the Christie RealLaser illumination platform,
have been embraced by exhibitors
around the world for new installations and as the best replacements for existing
installations. All manner of cinemas, from chains to single art-houses, have
jumped on the bandwagon, including China’s Wanda Cinema Line, Taiwan’s Showtime
Cinemas, Australia’s HOYTS Cinemas, Thailand’s Major Cineplex, the Philippines’ SM Cinema, France’s CGR Cinemas and Mexico’s Cinemex
ARTZ, to name a few.

Entry-Level and Premium Large Format (PLF) Christie RGB projectors in Milano
Christie
will launch the CP4330-RGB projector, a
higher-lumen output version of the CP4325-RGB, at the show, as well as preview
two new models coming off of Christie’s world-class manufacturing lines in 2019.
The new CP4330-RGB can be seen in scheduled demonstrations throughout each day.
The preview of the CP2309-RGB, extending its mainstream cinema projector
family, and the CP4450-RGB, boasting dual laser optical systems (LOS) and
CineLife+ electronics, for Premium Large
Format (PLF) theatres, will add to an already-stellar lineup of the most
affordable pure RGB laser cinema projectors in the world.
In the CP2309-RGB model, exhibitors will
get an all-in-one system based on the proven CP2315-RGB design and leveraging
the 0.69” DMD-chipset from TI, delivering more than 8500 lumens with an
impressive 2000:1 contrast ratio, at a very attractive price. Debuting at
CinemaCon 2019 and available in the summer, this desirable, highly-economic
entry-point to Christie’s acclaimed RGB laser projection family is ideal for
the first round of replacements to Series One projectors worldwide.
As
well, the Vive Audio family will be extended with the launch of a new,
low-profile, coaxial ribbon driver ceiling surround sound speaker, the LS2C.
And the LA3Si and LA3i replacements for the current LA3S-3ohm and LA3 speakers will
be previewed.
With
more than 65,000 digital projectors in the market today, Christie is invested
in making sure that every presentation is perfect. Christie’s Managed Services
group offers a variety of programs that combine the industry’s most comprehensive
extended warranty options with concierge and unique service level capabilities
that brings an unparalleled peace of mind to exhibitors large and small. The team
will be on hand to answer questions about how our customized services and solutions
may be able to help exhibitors make the next transition to Christie RealLaser, or
simply add more life to their existing investments.
As always, CinemaCon attendees can rest
easy, knowing that all the exciting new product reels and screenings that
showcase the magic of cinema in the Colosseum will be delivered by either
Christie’s tried-and-true CP4230
projectors installed there, or by Dolby Vision laser projectors, which are manufactured
by Christie.
