Christie has launched the Christie Solaria One, aimed at emerging markets and community cinemas whose screen sizes are less than 10.6m wide. The solution is DCI-compliant, having recently been fully certified for Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC (DCI) compliance testing by AEGISOLVE, INC. Christie Solaria One is the first solution to begin shipping in quantity, based on Texas Instruments (TI) recently developed S2K DLP Cinema chipset.
The Solaria One will deliver fully DCI-compliant images at 8000 lumens within the DCI colour space and, as the Christie Solaria One+, 10,000 lumens when presenting alternative content.
Christie Solaria Ones built-in dual DVI (HDMI) and network ports makes it capable of displaying virtually any form of alternative content. Customers are not locked into a projector-based, proprietary storage system; we strongly believe that mechanical hard drive platters should not coexist within the projector chassis and that such systems featured in competing solutions are a failure waiting to happen. DCI-compliant, robust, external storage systems based on the very latest commercial RAID5 technology are available through Christie sales representatives for use with Solaria One, stated Don Shaw, senior director, product management, Christie Entertainment Solutions.
Ster-Kinekor Theatres, the largest cinema exhibitor in South Africa, will be the first recipient of the solution, having ordered 198 projectors from the Christie Solaria One line.
