"Today's laser projection demo was fabulous! I'm impressed with the ultra brightness and life-like colours delivered onto the screen," said Ning Ye, general manager of Wanda Group.
"Christie is committed to creating new technology and maintaining our products at a high quality. We are continuously developing solutions to help exhibitors to project compelling, immersive images to their screens. Today we are pleased to demonstrate our first prototype laser projector to the exhibitors," said Lin Yu, vice president, Christie Asia Pacific.
Presenting at the laser demo event, Dr. Don Shaw, senior director, product management, Christie Entertainment Solutions, noted, "Audiences deserve to see the brightest 3D with 14 ft-L on cinema screens. Our demonstration today showed just how truly spectacular a movie maker's vision can be realised when shown at the highest light levels, making the shared experience more immersive, and, ultimately, driving more cinema ticket sales."
Dr. Shaw continued, "Some attendees leave 3D movies complaining of headaches, fatigue, and sore eyes. Just like reading a book in low light levels, low brightness on the movie screen is one of the reasons for these complaints. Delivering more lumens to the screen will help address these effects, as will the advent of 'eye-easy' high frame rate (HFR) movies."
Commenting on the laser projector, Dr. Shaw said, "There's half-a-dozen different 'forks in the road' decisions that have to be made when designing a laser-projection system and most manufacturers will take different paths."
