Palace Cinemas has deployed Christie’s latest CineLife+ series RGBH cinema projector. The Christie CP4420m-RGBH has been installed at Palace Cinemas Pentridge in Melbourne, Australia.
The15-screen multiplex is located in the historic area of Coburg, Victoria and the projector is fitted in the complex’s largest auditorium, which offers a 12m-wide silver screen, Dolby Atmos surround sound, and 220 luxury recliner seats. The projector is housed in a discreet ceiling enclosure to preserve the venue’s architectural integrity. This marks the first deployment of Christie’s RGBH cinema projector in Australasia.
Selecting Christie’s RGBH projector builds on Palace Cinemas’ existing investment in Christie cinema technologies across its circuit, including RGB pure laser projection with Real|Laser illumination and RBe projectors powered by Phazer technology. The project was delivered by HOYTS Cinema Technology Group, which brings extensive experience in cinema technology deployment and support.
Benjamin Zeccola, CEO of Palace Cinemas, said: “Palace Cinemas is focused on providing state-of-the-art cinema experiences. And we are proud to be the first exhibitor in Australasia to deploy Christie’s RGBH technology. This upgrade enhances our flagship auditorium with outstanding image performance, and it is even more energy-efficient to boot!”
Adam Wrightson, managing director of HOYTS CTG, added: “Christie’s RGBH projector delivered outstanding image quality and was straightforward for our team to integrate at Palace Pentridge. The installation process was smooth, and the overall feedback on the product was very positive. This project reflects the strong collaboration between Palace Cinemas, HOYTS CTG and Christie in delivering a high-quality cinema experience.”
Han Kim, vice president of Sales for Asia Pacific at Christie, commented: “We are committed to listening closely to the market and developing solutions that directly address customer needs. Our RGBH technology is a strong example of this approach, reflecting requirements expressed by exhibitors for greater efficiency, versatility and performance. It also delivers clear advantages in energy efficiency and operating costs. We are pleased to see our latest technology supporting flagship auditorium experiences at Palace Pentridge.”
