Latin America. Christie and Dolby Laboratories announced Christie's involvement in the development, supply, installation and proprietary service of Dolby Vision projection systems for Dolby Cinema, a premier cinematic offering that will enable a total cinematic experience.
Christie's projection technologies give Dolby Cinema the possibility of accompanying a spectacular image with an immersive sound and a very successful design aimed at making each visit to a movie theater an extraordinary event.
Dolby Cinema's Dolby Vision employs state-of-the-art optics and image processing, capable of providing HDR (high dynamic range images) with enhanced color technology, praised by filmmakers for its striking contrast, high brightness and because it brings the color spectrum extraordinarily close to what the human eye perceives. The new proprietary enhanced color HDR technology employs two newly designed Christie 4K laser projection heads, with HFR (high-frequency imaging) capability and a unique, highly adaptable light path. Its combination with the light sources of Christie's modular 6P laser allows to offer those images of great contrast and maximum brightness that characterize the visual excellence of Dolby Cinema.
But in addition to its brightness and color reproduction, the Dolby Vision projection system has a unique feature: the ability to offer HDR with an incomparable contrast ratio, superior to that of any image technology on the market. Result: a much richer and more detailed viewing experience, with images of extraordinary vividness and realism that transport the viewer to the very interior of the film. Dolby Vision content will be available in 2015, coinciding with the deployment of the first Dolby Vision projection systems in Dolby Cinema spaces.
The announcement is the result of years of joint work between Dolby and Christie on the Dolby Vision projection system, a work that includes technological tests in Californian and European movie theaters.
JT Eindhoven, a Dutch multiplex complex scheduled to open this December, will be the first Dolby Cinema space to feature a Dolby Vision projector.
