Christie presented Ang Lee’s new film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, using customized dual-head Christie Mirage 4KLH RGB laser projection systems during its premiere in Beijing and Shanghai.
Screened in 4K resolution, stereo 3D, and at 120 frames a second [fps], the film made its debut at Beijing Bona Youtang International Cineplex. The Christie Mirage 4KLH system has been specially modified to screen Lee’s new film. It now features a Christie TruLife electronics platform with a video-processing pipeline of up to 1.2 Gigapixels per second.
