Follow on Google News | Shipments of High-Value Christie Solaria One Projectors to Global Exhibitors Accelerate in 2013By: Christie “Smaller cinemas the world over are strong contributors to their local economies but they must make the switch to digital format. That said, their loss would also leave a cultural vacuum that is irreplaceable. It is something we simply cannot allow to happen. Our Solaria One projector, our global network of first-rate installation partners and our participation in industry programs to help them finance the change are just some of the ways we’re helping complete the conversion to digital cinema projection,” Christie’s Solaria One has a lot to offer, including being the brightest DCI compliant projector in its class, able to project 8000 lumens in the DCI color space and 9000 for alternative content. And a variation, the Christie Solaria One+, projects 9000 for DCI content and 10,000 with alternative content. As well, it has a customized Xenon lamp, the CDXL-21S1, which ensures ultimate performance, efficiency, and reliability. The projector, which ships “3D ready,” complete with built-in IMB, is easily upgraded to play high frame rate (HFR) movies. Here, in their own words, are some customers’ experiences. While they serve different regions and cater to varied cinematic tastes, they have all found that the Christie Solaria One is the cost-effective, reliable way for independent exhibitors to transition to digital. ### ### Testimonials: “We are very happy to partner with Christie in the roll out of their Solaria One series of projectors in India.

"When we heard about the new ‘all-in-one’ ---Alexandr Ryabkin, manager of the KinoFox cinema in Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia – the first three-screen cinema in this city of 170,000. “Customers love the picture and sound improvements from film to digital and were relieved that we had made the switch to digital and will remain in business in their area, using Christie’s Solaria One.” ---Rhonda Fitzsimmons, Fun Time Cinema, Kendig, Pennsylvania The Fun Time has three locations in Pennsylvania ranging from four to six screens each. It specializes in youth and family movies at economy prices, and also offers private screenings and parties. The installation was done by Integrity Entertainment Systems, LLC. “The main selling feature for us was that the Christie Solaria® One could project both alternative content from Blu-Ray players as well as digital cinema files, including our pre-show ads. Also, the integrated media block (IMB) came with the projector, as opposed to other vendors with their external servers. That was a great combination, and we like having the newest and the best. The Christie Solaria One suits a small theater like the Princess very well. Audiences really notice the difference in color saturation, clarity and sound.” ----John Tutt, Princess Cinema, Waterloo, Ontario The Princess Cinema is a 180-seat theater specializing in documentaries, foreign- “The Christie Solaria One has worked out perfectly for me, and it was obtained at a much more favorable price than the estimates I was getting on the Internet. In addition to the superior visual and sound quality, the Solaria One freed up a great deal of space in the balcony.” ---Barry Flood, Tryon Theatre, Tryon, North Carolina The Tryon is a single-screen exhibitor in Tryon, North Carolina. It was built in 1932 and re-opened after a fire in 1938 with an added balcony.
