New
LUX Solution Featuring Modular 6P Laser Source Projectors will be shown for the
first time in Europe at CineEurope 2015; Laser Solution Offers Massive Gains in
Brightness, Crisper Colors, Energy Efficiency, Reliability and Outstanding 3D
projections; Strategic Partnership Capitalizes On CINEMECCANICA’s Technological
and Manufacturing Strengths and XPAND’s Leading Optical and Visualization
Knowledge.
LUX series is available as an
aftermarket retrofit engine, compatible with all Series
2 cinema DLP projectors, and as a standalone laser light
source projector. 6P laser light sources deliver
significant advantages over traditional xenon lamps, the most noteworthy of
which are an improved service model, a 30 percent increase in brightness, a
lifetime of 30,000 hours rather than 500 and a gain in energy efficiency of
more than 50 percent.
In a partnership of leaders,
CINEMECCANICA and XPAND consolidate their alliance to offer a highly-evolved
line of laser projectors and laser light engine modules to the global cinema
and special events industries. At CineEurope 2015 the companies will organize a
series of LUX demonstrations at
Cinesa Diagonal Mar across CCIB.
The joint alliance of
CINEMECCANICA and XPAND ensures more cinema businesses around the world have
access to the LUX laser technology
comprehensive worldwide sales and support network. The LUX solution enables
exhibitors to offer the highest quality to the largest screen, improve
performance, lower costs and boost efficiency. It is especially ideal for
special event producers seeking to show on giant screens or achieve
unprecedented brightness on normal screen sizes (14 fL in 3D). The modular
design further advances system reliability and device customization from 20,000
up to 60,000 lumens with single-projector and up to 115000 Lumens in
dual-projector configuration.
The LUX laser light engine
provides cinemas and event production professionals, among others, with a 3D
system-agnostic solution that allows all standard 3D techniques, including 6P
color separation. It also offers greatly improved brightness for 2D. These
professionals can now operate at a higher level of consistency and confidence
as the LUX laser light engine delivers constant brightness powering up the largest
screens with no xenon light decay.
“This alliance presents the
global exhibitor community with a winning combination of leading technology and
an excellent partnership network,” noted Maria Costeira, Chief Executive
Officer of XPAND. Echoing this sentiment, Massimo Riva, CEO of CINEMECCANICA
noted, “The consumer gains a much richer, more immersive experience while the
exhibitor dramatically improves his product offering at a lower cost of
ownership!”
