In order to digitize the cinema hall and thus enable a higher quality of film projections, the Cultural Center Vrnjacka Banja decided to use the funds received from the Film Center of Serbia to purchase a state-of-the-art cinema projector.
So, Christie CP2309-RGB laser digital cinema projector with RGB light source was delivered. It features 9000 lumens of brightness, DLP technology, 2K resolution (2048x1080 pixels) and 2000:1 contrast ratio. It has a built-in media server and a disk capacity of 8TB in a RAID5 configuration with a corresponding motorized zoom lens.
Why is this projector so special?
RGB laser as a light source enables realistic color reproduction (> 95% of the real life image), according to the REC.2020 standard and has a much higher contrast ratio which overall creates an amazing cinema experience.The RGB laser light source has a long lifespan of 30,000 hours during which it retains 80% of the brightness. Due to the existence of three laser sources, R, G and B, the lifespan of the projector is significantly longer compared to an ordinary laser-phosphor cinema projector.
Its another important feature is its compactness. No additional external chillers and total weight of 73 kg –very important in this case, because the projector will also be used on the summer stage.
Christie CP2309-RGB has a touch monitor with a built-in automation controller which allows simple playback, scheduling and management of cinema content. The projector supports HFR 2K@120fps/4K@30 fps. It has the appropriate HDMIx2 connectors, 16-channel audio via RJ45 x2, as well as a 3D sync connector.
The tender documentation also requested submission of certain calculations, so our expert team provided a calculation of lenses and lighting for 2D, i.e. the appropriate type of 3D projection for the given parameters of projection distance, type of screen and dimensions of the projected image enabling the client with the assurance that the offered product meets the DCI standard.
In addition to the accessories, we also supplied a projector stand on wheels with safety feet and the possibility to adjust the height and which also serves as a 19" rack for storing accessories.
There is also a device for uninterruptable power supply and a hose with a duct fan for removing heat from the technical room.
As an additional mobile sound system, a powerful active 2-way array speaker system 1400 W RCF EVOX 12 with DSP was delivered. The array features a compact construction, wheels and an extendable handle for easy transport.
After the installation was completed, our expert team trained two people from the technical service of the client.
