Christie laser projector shines at IBC in 3D

Christie Digital Systems (Cypress, CA) used a 63,000 lumen laser projector at IBC2012 (September 6-11; Amsterdam) in the first screening of a full-length movie using a laser-illuminated projector. You read that right—63,000 lumens, topping the 55,000 lumens Barco showed earlier in the year, with Barco in partnership with IMAX and Kodak. The Barco/IMAX/Kodak demo showed the possibility of using a single projector to light up a really big screen, the kind IMAX likes, with a single projector. That demo used a 70 foot wide (21.3M) gain 1.0 matte Harkness screen.

To produce 14 Ft.-L in 3D, the demo at IBC used a prototype Christie laser projector with 4K DLP imagers and a Christie Integrated Media Block (IMB). 3D technology from XpanD was used for the presentation. The movie was shown at 24 frame per second and tripled flashed as most movies are (not a high frame rate demo). This was a limitation of the content, not the projector or IMB.
