Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ushio, Inc., Japan, is enjoying 400% digital cinema growth in the Asia-Pacific region, buoyed by major deployment deals for its CP2000 series of DLP Cinema® projectors.

To date, more than 600 sites in Asia-Pacific have installed Christie digital cinema projectors, with an additional 500 sites scheduled for conversion by year end. The company is accelerating development deals in South Korea, Thailand, India and China.

Christie will provide its CP2000 series projectors for the initial deployment of D-Cinema Korea’s recent VPF deal with major Hollywood studios. In Thailand, Christie has worked with its Thailand-based partner, Golden Duck Group, as well as other major exhibitors, to develop the local cinema scene.

Christie’s digital cinema growth in China gathered momentum from the deployment of a record number of Christie digital projectors at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games ceremonies. In India, Christie is collaborating with Scrabble Entertainment for India’s largest single digital cinema deployment.

“Christie has expanded its market share in the Asia-Pacific region very rapidly and surpassed the growth rate of most digital cinema providers in this part of the world,” said Lin Yu, vice president, Christie Asia Pacific.
