Time Antaeus Media Group, a Chinese digital cinema industry leader, has selected Christie as its partner for digital cinema deployment in China. This marks the country’s most extensive commercial effort to date, in which 800 Christie CP2000 series DLP Cinema® projectors will be installed into select cinemas by the end of 2010. These projectors will be installed together with 800 Time Antaeus’ Montage CDCS2000 D-Cinema Servers.
After conducting a series of extensive evaluations on the various solutions available, Time Antaeus opted for Christie’s CP2000 DLP Cinema projectors based on their image quality and reliability. With their excellent brightness, contrast, true colour reproduction and product integrity, the Christie CP2000 series projectors are widely popular among theatre operators and have won numerous positive reviews from the industry.
The collaboration between Christie and Time Antaeus began at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games’ ceremonies with the purchase of 120 Christie CP2000-ZX models. The CP2000-ZX digital cinema projectors delivered spectacular visuals throughout the event, demonstrating their full flexibility in a non-cinema environment. As part of the tailored digital cinema solution installed by CFG-Antaeus, the Montage CDCS2000 D-cinema server provided is a joint development between Time Antaeus and Doremi Cinema.
The pilot test of the 120 units of Christie CP2000 series digital cinema projectors and Time Antaeus’ Montage CDCS2000 D-cinema servers installed in the theatres across China proved to be a tremendous success. Since operation, they have experienced “zero” failure rates, offering users a high level of stability.
