Daylight by the artist Anna Barriball was projected on the façade of the Monastery of San Esteban. The work showed the shadows of leaves trembling and swaying in real time, coming in and out of focus. The façade of the monastery was completely taken over by nature, transforming its essence and interacting with the exuberant vegetation of the surrounding trees.

The idea was possible thanks to Christie Pandoras Box. The platform ran the interactivity of the X-Ray Scanner system, synchronizing the movement of the monitor with a 3D model of the car. More specifically, it used a Pandoras Box Client Server PRO, a Pandoras Box Manager STD and Widget Designer PRO, the software used to create the interactive applications.

As a Universal Parks & Resorts corporate partner, Christie will be the preferred partner for projectors ordered, purchased, and installed by Universal Parks & Resorts at all domestic controlled venues. Christie will also supply software and professional services in addition to projection technology to Universal Parks & Resorts, helping create customized projection solutions for future attractions.

The premium auditorium of Zhenjiang Suning Cinema – located within the new Suning Plaza shopping mall in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province – is equipped with a Christie RGB laser projection system featuring enhanced wavelength diversification (EWD). It is the first cinema hall in China to deploy the Christie CP42LH and laser modules that generate white light from multiple combinations of RGB primary color wavelengths to counteract speckle and offer a spectacular viewing experience on silver screens. Both cinema complexes have officially commenced commercial operations. Christie will continue to work with Suning Cinema to have more visual solutions installed in its new cineplexes across the country.

Chip Pinion, systems control supervisor, MTEMC, says, “We began to think bigger picture. Ultimately we wanted a wall that would be more dynamic for us, for use day-in, day-out depending on the need of the operator, or when our management or operations team needed to see something specific as it related to an outage.”

The canvas consisted of a group of ten containers put together, which covered an area of 18 metres long by 8 meters high, with Christie projectors painting it beautifully with lifelike images that complemented the showing of the footballers wearing the new shirt. The agency OBJ Design was in charge of the set design of the whole event.

Rich and vibrant visuals depicting significant stages of Birsa Munda’s life, projected onto the rocky face of a hill overlooking the scenic dam near Rock Garden park, are made possible with four Christie Roadster S+22K-J 3DLP® projectors. Installed in a specially built control cabin situated about 100 meters away from the projected surface, the projectors are in portrait mode with the visuals measuring 60 meters long and 25 meters high – almost the size of a football field – which can be fully enjoyed by hundreds of spectators at each session. Inaugurated by the chief minister of Jharkhand, the show is the first permanent projection mapping installation using Christie projectors in the state and plays nightly at 7:30 p.m.

Coyote Theaters is solely dedicated to drive-in sites and expanding across the southern USA. Beginning with a four-screen drive-in theater completed in 2013 in Fort Worth, Texas, owner Glenn Solomon sees the potential for this reinvigorated exhibition business model, and noted that it requires an experienced team to design, install and support a first-rate venue, capable of delivering an enjoyable experience to movie-goers, based on dependable digital projection technology.

“The Christie CP2208-LP is a truly cost-effective entry into DCI-compliant digital cinema,” said Allan Fernandes, product manager, Christie. “It is the perfect solution for the independent exhibitor, local art houses with limited budgets and remote sites where lamp maintenance can be troublesome.”
