Working with AVI Systems, FONA initially considered both LCD and LED options for the planned 16-foot by 9-foot video wall, but, with long-term future proofing in mind, realized LED was the better choice. AVI Systems specified a Christie video wall, using Christie Velvet™ Merit Series 2.5mm LED tiles. The Christie LED video wall features 60 Merit Series tiles in a seamless, HD display with 100,000 hours of service life.

Two new operating modes are available with this firmware update: standard security and stringent security. While most users will rely on the standard security mode, the stringent mode is ideal for high-security environments.

The system is comprised of a Christie CP42LH 3DLP® 4K RGB laser projector featuring enhanced wavelength diversification (EWD), connected via fiber optic to a laser rack housing eight laser modules that generate white light from multiple combinations of RGB primary color wavelengths to offer a spectacular 3D viewing experience on silver screens. The single system is capable of generating 40,000 lumens – much brighter than what current, lamp-based digital projectors can deliver.

“As one of the leading cinema chains in Taiwan, we are strongly committed in offering the best-in-class cinema technologies for our patrons to enjoy the finest visuals and audio on the opening of our newest cinema complex in Taichung,” said Willy Liao, General Manager, Showtime Cinemas. “We’re convinced that Christie’s highly acclaimed projection and audio solutions are perfect for deployment in this cineplex. Not only does the Christie RGB laser projection system with EWD deliver the best visuals, the unique design and amazing acoustics, Christie Vive Audio also provides unmatched surround sound for a spectacular cinematic experience.”

Over the year, the adoption rate of Christie RGB laser has been increasing at a rapid pace and a growing number of leading exhibitors around the world have made the groundbreaking RGB laser projection system their preferred choice for a premium 3D cinema experience. The Christie CP42LH 3DLP® 4K RGB laser projector produces a color gamut that exceeds the DCI P3 color and replicates the Rec. 2020 space, making it the most advanced RGB laser cinema projection system on the market.

Produced by the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, QUANTUM has been selected as a Signature Initiative of the Government of Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations. QUANTUM is part of Innovation150, a partnership of five leading science outreach organizations leading a cross-country celebration of science and innovation with stops at Science World at TELUS World of Science in Vancouver and the Discovery Centre in Halifax.

“The ability to have multiple operators cooperate and program the same project simultaneously is going to have an enormous positive impact on how people use Pandoras Box for large events,” said Joel St-Denis, product manager, Christie. “With Pandoras Box 6.0, we listened to our users and focused on improving the general workflow by bringing frequently used features such as warping directly within the Pandoras box interface.”

DWP Live used the versatile Christie Boxer to create a unique visual experience by deploying three distinct arrays – eight on each side of the theater and six in the projection booth – creating an immersive environment fueled by a kaleidoscope of colors and imagery onto the archway ceiling and backdrop.

“We are proud to offer this brand new cinema technology for our guests to enjoy a movie experience like no other,” said Damian Keogh, Group CEO, HOYTS. “Making a trip to the movies a memorable experience is important for us and introducing Christie’s cutting-edge projector is part of making that happen.”

The amazing visuals have been made possible with four Christie Roadster WU20K-J 3DLP® projectors sponsored by Christie Korea, and installed by Christie’s Korean partner IMTEC for this opera performance. Two units have been deployed for rear screen projection while the other two projectors are used for projections on the front stage structure/ front curtain, and on the stage floor.
