The latest form Christie is their technological breakthrough for 3D. Christie Brilliant3D, has sparked renewed excitement among exhibitors, who are racing to digitize their theatres ahead of a record number of 3D features that are coming down the Hollywood pipeline.

Christie Brilliant3D with triple flash technology significantly boosts projector performance and image brightness, delivering the industry’s best single-lens solution for 3D. It utilizes the entire reflective surface of the DMD chip from Texas Instruments (TI), enabling 3D content to be projected in full 2K resolution. The technology is available on the Christie CP2000-SB, Christie CP2000-XB, Christie CP2000-ZX and the compact Christie CP2000-M; a versatile, digital cinema dynamo that is poised to revolutionize theatre booth design.

“For theatres, it’s all about the light,” said Gary Engvold, president of Integrity Entertainment Systems, LLC, an authorized digital cinema reseller for Christie. In the past five months, Integrity has been rolling out the full resolution 2K triple flash Christie CP2000-ZX projectors. It recently installed four systems at Bow Tie Cinemas, six at Zurich Theatres, and three at Dipson Theatres.

“Not all equipment is created equal,” added Engvold. “Christie projectors offer superior optics that put much more light on the screen – a key requirement for 3D. The full 2K resolution delivered by Christie Brilliant3D technology means theatres don't have to reduce the content size for the screen, so audiences see a brighter, clearer picture. But it’s not just about what’s on the screen. Christie also offers a solid support structure behind every one of their projectors.”
