Since the inception of Christie in 1929, we’ve always been obsessed with power. Like innovation, power’s in our DNA, from the battery chargers we made back in the day to the refinements in our latest cinema projection solutions to obtain the highest possible efficiency. Power is about our ability to ensure our projectors perform at the highest levels. It doesn’t always mean achieving the highest lumens possible – we have a different projector for that – but the finesse and capability of achieving the highest lumens per watt in their class.

Introducing the improved CP4420-RGB. Same look, same lenses and accessories, same easy-to-use interface, but much more powerful. Featuring Christie CineLife+ electronics and Real|Laser illumination, this compact, all-in-one DCI-compliant projector excels in image quality and operational lifetime, and now provides an even lower total cost of operation. Exhibitors can impress audiences with incredibly colorful, detailed, true-to-life images using the most environmentally friendly projectors in the industry.

An engineered standard

Real|Laser projectors use compact, next-generation Multi-Laser Pack Devices (MPDs) that achieve never-before-seen breakthroughs in brightness, color reproduction, image uniformity, contrast, efficiency, and operational lifetime. Featuring our patented fully sealed optical path, Real|Laser offers long-term stability and reliability.

Advanced cinema electronics

CineLife+’s streamlined UX-designed interface simplifies the playback and management of movies and alternative cinema content. The auto-configure feature and a motorized lens mount make setup quick and easy, and the newly integrated Electronic Color Convergence (ECC) feature ensures perfect color alignment. CineLife+ is compatible with select third-party IMBs, and its wide range of inputs not only support all existing content formats but futureproofs your investment for years to come. And you can use the CineLife+ RemoteUI to securely control the projector via the web on all popular browsers, eliminating the need for a touch panel controller.

Efficiency and cost of operation

The CP4420-RGB is 26% more efficient than its competitors, producing 12.9 lumens per watt. Lower energy costs reduce the total cost of ownership by 35%.
