Hualien, Taiwan—Jan 18, 2019
Christie RealLaser Colors First All-Pure Laser Multiplex in Hualien City
Vieshow Cinemas Hualien Paradiso invests in next-generation 4K and 2K RGB laser cinema projectors
The avant-garde façade of Vieshow Cinemas Hualien Paradiso
Christie®, a leader in creating and sharing the world’s best visual and
audio experiences, is pleased to announce that its next-generation RealLaser™
cinema projectors have been deployed at the newest multiplex on the east coast
of Taiwan.
Located in Hualien, Vieshow
Cinemas Hualien Paradiso is the first cinema complex in Taiwan to be fully
equipped with state-of-the-art RGB pure laser projection systems. Five
auditoriums are powered by Christie’s RGB pure laser projection systems comprising
the leading-edge 4K-resolution CP4325-RGB and 2K-resolution CP2315-RGB models. The cinema complex has been designed and built by Taiwan
Innovation and Development Corporation (TIDC), and is operated by Vieshow
Cinemas, the largest cinema chain in
Taiwan. The installation and maintenance of the projection systems were
undertaken by Christie’s longstanding Taiwanese partner, Dacoms Technology.
“This cinema has been named
‘Paradiso’ (from the 1988 film Cinema
Paradiso) to invoke nostalgia of classic movies, but the entire building
has an avant-garde feel and fitted with cutting-edge technology,” said Fu-sheng
Chiu, president, TIDC. “Vieshow Cinemas Hualien Paradiso marks our inaugural entry
into the film exhibition business, and we’ve chosen Christie RealLaser cinema projectors
due to their long-lasting, high performance light source and compact form
factor. They are also future-proofed with High Frame Rate capabilities, with an
upgrade path for 4K 120fps playback. I’m confident that our audiences will
enjoy a spectacular movie-viewing experience with the Christie cinema
projectors that we have invested in.”
The 4 CP2315-RGB units are fitted
in Halls A to D, with a combined capacity of over 380 seats, while the
CP4325-RGB will be deployed in the larger S auditorium, boasting a 16-meter
wide screen and a capacity of 448 seats. Together, the Christie RealLaser
family of projectors offers much benefits to exhibitors, directors and
producers, including being the first truly affordable direct-coupled RGB pure
laser projection system for mainstream auditoriums, a much-increased color
palette approaching Rec. 2020 and over 30,000 hours of theater operation
without lamp changes.
Emily Hong, President, Dacoms
Technology, noted, “Christie’s RealLaser cinema projectors represents the
epitome of mainstream projection technology. The decision by TIDC to equip its
first cinema complex in Hualien with Christie RealLaser is a clear testimony of
the projectors’ high performance, reliability and ease of maintenance. Vieshow
Cinemas Hualien Paradiso now joins a steadily growing number of exhibitors in
Taiwan that have embraced Christie RealLaser; a high point in laser-illuminated
projection.”
Han
Kim, Senior Director, Asia Pacific Cinema Sales, Christie, added, “We’re delighted that TIDC has
invested in our CP4325-RGB and CP2315-RGB pure laser cinema projectors to
deliver the most outstanding cinematic visuals to audiences in Hualien and
surrounding areas on Taiwan’s east coast. Our Christie RealLaser product
portfolio are perfect successors to lamp-and-laser phosphor projectors, and
they represent the future of cinema projection.”
Christie’s RealLaser series
offers all the advantages of RGB pure laser in a compact “all-in-one form. This
eliminates the need for sub-ambient external cooling, further reducing
operational cost. Consistently delivering excellent image quality and
brightness above DCI standards throughout the projector’s natural life. All
this for over 30,000 hours of operation and without lamp changes.
Since their official launch, the
CP4325-RGB and CP2315-RGB have been embraced by exhibitors around the world as the best
replacements for lamp-based projection systems and new installations. These
include Wanda Cinema Line in China, Vieshow Cinemas, Showtime Cinemas and Cinemark Cinema in Taiwan, HOYTS Cinemas in Australia, Major Cineplex in Thailand, Cinema 21 in Indonesia, and CGR Cinemas in France (making CGR the
world’s largest investor in Christie RGB laser cinema projection, as it moves to convert all 700 of its
theaters to RGB pure laser technology).
